    I hope not,ordered SIM Friday and had the deal listed then, still waiting on SIM

    Me too [ordered Friday, no delivery as yet], but I got a dispatch mail from Meteor and another one about how to activate offer once SIM arrives, so am hoping whenever the SIM arrives I can get the offer then.

    I have a conversation sent to me confirming that the offer will be applied to the sim on activation, so I should be ok. Haven't received it as of yesterday. Hopefully today...

    Did you set up your voicemail using 171? You need to do that the first time you use voicemail then the trick above works after that.

    No credit to do this,the offer takes all my credit.

    Then no point wasting five euro top up just to have voicemail

    To ring any 1850, 1890 numbers etc you need credit so you might as well topup and always have it there.

    I'd recommend topping up by 25 euro the first time. You need credit to activate iMessage, FaceTime and voice mail (free afterwards by using above trick)

    The offer is no longer available though? And it's the offer I want. If I get or order a new SIM I might forego the offer.

    Will call them (again) tomorrow

    How do you top up every 4 weeks? do you schedule a top up or do you do it manually?

    You can schedule it but there is no need. The action of topping up doesn't activate the plan (like Tesco) but rather meteor taking the money from your credit on your due date

    On roaming, I used up about 4Gb roaming which is noted in balance roam. However my balance data didn't reduce while roaming I.e. The roaming 6.3Gb was extra. A glitch?

    The port in offer is still available at least. You just need to go through the live chat on their website.

    Be prepared for some staff saying its not. Even staff in stores didn't know about it when it was on screens behind them

    Just wondering if this is true, don't see the 20 unlimited option on the meteor site. my wife is on the 24 Euro plan for ages now and she is shopping around for a better deal. The plan she is on is a rolling monthly SIM only meteor one (4gb data and unlimited texts and 200 mins calls) can she also text to opt in to this simplicity plan.
    Cheers

    The 20unlimited still worked fine. Just pick up a SIM, text 20unlimited and you have opted into the plan. Then port your number over. No need to deal with anyone.

    Or...how about you pick up a SIM first, port over, then text 20unlimited and you have opted into the plan for your number and not the 085 number instead.

    No?

    Hi....

    What is involved in the 20unlimited please... Is it unlimited data by any chance? And if it is can I simply use a brand new meteor sim card and get this deal?

    It's the €30 plan on this page: https://www.meteor.ie/pay-as-you-go/simplicity/

    But you get it for €20 instead of €30

    I called meteor Portlaoise, they told me the offer is now closed. Any way around this?

    What timescale would I be looking at getting back to meteor if I ported to Vodafone today,currently a meteor pay monthly customer.
    **********************

    I called customer services, put me on a different pay monthly SIM only deal. 400 mins, unlimited texts, 10gb(5gb roaming ), voicemail. €20.

    Avoids the hassle of swapping around and I stillborn won't go over the allowances.
