    Have to say very impressed with this package. Reception seems miles better where I live compared to meteor. Nice not to worry about Internet usage on phone or having to use webtexts to send messages

    Yep tethering is blocked.

    However if you have a rooted phone then you can use an app to help.

    Any idea about the wireless hotspot on iOS? Is that also blocked?

    Fantastic deal IMO from Lycamobile.

    http://www.lycamobile.ie/en/bundle

    Ireland Plus - €15 per month:
    - 20GB 3G Data
    - Unlimited any network (including landlines) calls [1]
    - Unlimited texts [1]
    - Free call and text roaming in 18 countries including UK and US [2] [3]
    - Free calls and texts to Lyca numbers in Poland + Romania

    I have to say, an absolutely brilliant deal, totally blows Tesco Mobile out of the water, specially as Tesco Mobile seems to be going down the drain now [4]

    And add to all that very good rates for calling and texting international numbers.

    [1] Seems to be 8,000 minutes calls and texts Fair Usage Policy, plenty IMO.
    [2] http://www.lycamobile.ie/en/roaming-sim-card
    [3] Calls and texts, but not data, but Lyca also has very good value add on bundles for data roaming too:
    http://www.lycamobile.ie/sysimages/editorfiles/Home_April_2015_IE1.pdf
    [4] Tesco Mobile has started randomly cutting off people with no warning (phone just stops working) for "security" reasons, massive amounts of controversy about it over on the TM forum, people are extremely unhappy. Also customer support has gone to the dogs and their roaming rates are terrible (many people think they maybe against the new EU roaming rules, they have been reported to Irish and EU regulators!).

    I've just moved myself and the gf from TM to this Lyca deal and very happy so far.


    Do you have to sign up to a contract to get this offer ?

    No contract. Its a pay as you go. To get the deals you need to buy a bundle either out of credit of just direct via credit/debit card.

    Well, my first sim arrived this morning. Got it up and running in my dual-sim phone. getting good signal. However the phone has relegated my No.1 sim to 2g and the Lyca sim to 3g. And blank out the option to change Sim 1 to 3g or 4g. :confused:

    Most dual phones can't handle both Sims being 3/4g. They relegate a sim to 2g only.

    That don't sound right. Are you sure its ported? Have you tried calling the number you are porting?

    Maybe I misunderstood you. When you said it went through ok I thought you meant the number had transfered over. Once the number does switch over the signal on your old sim will die.
