PHONE COST

keep going

doing a bit of researh at the minute as contract is up and at first ithought this mighnt be the place to do a bit of research but after all its tax claimable albeit at lower rate so it is a farming cost.currently have home phone with eircom and broadband for 41 euros a month all land lines free and half an hour to mobiles.have the mobile with e mobile at 39 e amonth all in but I am thinking of moving to sim only for 24 e amonth.alot of package s you are just paying for the free phone. What are ye paying

Greengrass1

Broadband around 40e most months.
No house phone any more. All the better I think.
Myself and dad put phone bills down as farm expense.
He's on bill pay 30e a month. Think he has free calls to all networks 1g data not sure on texts
I'm on pre pay 30e month 3g data free calls and texts to every network. Only joined that last month. Was 20e a month until then dad only upgraded recently room was on a 20e deal with Vodafone too

mayota

if you are a member of the IFA you should give them a ring as they had a very good offer a while back on mobile phone tariffs. forget the details but remember it was very good at the time

According to uswitch, airtricity is the cheapest if you have a day/night meter. 16.64/8.24 are the tariffs incl vat. Just had a heated "discussion" with IFA energy guy there, he rang me in dec, told me their rates were the best that could be got and I'd be getting an extra 10% off for being an IFA member. All good i thought. Well not only are their rates not the best available but I would also have gotten the 10% off with bord gais even if I wasn't an IFA member! Final nail in the IFA coffin for me. Their sub will go to cover the contract cancellation fee with bord gais.

they rang me 3 times, all at around 11am , no go on electricity, no go on mobile and no go on landline internet , i dont understand why they cant do much better deals if they have the buying capacity. On another note i swore never to go to airtricity ever again, fine they might be cheaper but I found their billing system crap, maybe they have improved since i was with them.
