    "Great news. To celebrate faster data speeds in your area we want to give you 1GB of data FREE for one month! Just text OFFER to 50909 by 31st August and we'll add it to your account. Simple as that! The eMobile Team. Opt out via My eMobile"

    It worked for me...

    Hmmm... so much for the 31-Aug closing date!

    Maybe it's eMobile only...

    I got the text about it and texted the code. Got a reply back saying I wasn't eligible. Tweeted meteor about it, three weeks on and still no update.

    1 GB of data I like throwing sweets at starving children, if you need an extra gig you need to look hard at you current plan

    Well, it came at the right time for me as I ticked over the 5GB one week before my monthly bill period finished, so, yeah, it worked for me... but thanks for the input :rolleyes:

    Meteor, Pay As You Go, tried it with uppercase and lowercase letters and no text received so unfortunately doesn't seem to work.

    Edit: Just as I was about to post I got a text saying the opt in period is now closed.

    Maybe the "similar" offer you rang Meteor about was a scam but the one I posted in the original post WAS NOT. Expired it may be, but definitely NOT a scam.

    Just for the record...

    Tried sending this off for the craic to see if it would work just now & got a text back saying:

    "You now have 1Gb of data applied to your account for the next 30 days. Enjoy! The Meteor Team."

    So it worked for me for some reason! Thanks OP!

    Meteor/eMobile are essentially the same network, both owned by eircom so I doesn't surprise me if there's a cross over here and there.

    Yeah, I'm eMobile Billpay but had to request a new SIM a few months ago and they gave me a Meteor one - it even shows "IRL-METEOR" as the carrier onscreen.
    I still log in to "My eMobile" and get my bill from eMobile, so Meteor & eMobile are the same in practice too...
