Are u a prepay customer? Then just text 20unlimited and topup. Sorry just saw your post. You'd have to move from pay monthly to prepay first I'd say

Change the voicemail number from 171 to 08*5YourNumber. Press # and then pin. Treated as a free call

I have credit on my balance and I tried the above on my android phone, I changed the voicemail number in the settings from 171 to my own, where should I add # and the pin to listen to my voicemails for free?

Ring the voicemail number, when it connects press # and you will be prompted for the pin and # again. This works, assuming you have previously set up a voicemail service using 171.

When you text 20unlimited do you get a text back to let you know your on the plan?

Should get a text back yes telling you to top up to activate the plan benefits.

Ok, tried it with an old SIM I had lying around and no text back. I'll pick up a new one in store and see how I get on. Thanks.

TheDriver

You should get a text saying any net mins & texts & 15G 4G 20e offer

Dundrum said the offer was over. Any ideas? On a Three phone.

TheDriver

The shops and the forum here say that but follow the instructions here and it works fine

Here's a link to the relevant page on their site.

Great value, I ported from Vodafone over a month now and have no issues whatsoever.

Port-in offer is now totally closed according to the live chat

At this point we need someone to see if texting "20unlimited" will still opt them into the offer

found a spare sim at home that had the 30 euro unlimited deal . texted 20unlimited to 50104 today 1 august and it seemed to work . Got the reply that said : Thanks for choosing Simply Unlimited any network+texts and 15Gb data 20e .......
hope this helps

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

So let's say that my plan finishes on Monday Morning, I can just top up 20 EUR now and on Monday morning Meteor will take the money automatically from my balance, is this correct?

I did the same yesterday evening. And like you it worked too.

What would happen if you exceeded the FUP? I think the T&C's say you get charged standard rates. You could also lose credit on out of bundle items like premium texts, MMS, international calls. Might seem obvious but even if you lost say 25c on an MMS your top up would fail. I'm new to this plan but I was going to top up on the day it's required for me to top up.

Still working.
Stuck in a new Meteor Sim last night and texted 20unlimited to 50104. Got a text back immediately confirming my €20 plan.
Just put €20 credit on the phone now and got a text back to say that "your Simply Unlimited Any Network Mins & Texts and 15GB Data 20e offer is now active", etc.
Made a few calls and sent a few texts just to be sure and all is well.

TheDriver

Can u put in say 60euro and forget about it for 3 months or do u actually have to top up monthly?

mgbgt1978

From what I can see they would simply debit €20 every 28 days from your credit.
Although, with the changeover to Eir next month there might be changes. Even though they have stated that things will remain static for existing Meteor customers you know yourself exactly what mobile providers are like in this country.

fifib

TheDriver - yes you can, once there is sufficient credit in your account for the plan you are signed up to it will automatically take the €20 from this when the plan/offer is due for renewal

mgbgt1978

@TheDriver. According to this;
http://www.boards.ie/ttfthread/2057767009

you do have to actually top-up each month.....even though you may have more than enough credit in your a/c to cover your plan

Possibly a question for the Talk to Meteor Forum

Pacifico

I accidentally topped up by 40. Worked fine for 2 months...

fifib

Im on the €30 plan for unlimited data, tests and calls. but i text the offer eysterday and it seemed to work. im in middle of current plan though so ill wait til that expires in 2 weeks and top up with 20 then. be great to get it without having to change my number.

Can you let us know how this works out for you. I'm on the same €30 plan but I'd be interested in getting it down to the €20 if possible. Still have 19 days left on mine.

So thinking of moving one of my numbers to this.. Can I get a fresh SIM, activate it with this offer and then port the number over later?

TheDriver

Yes, u can do it either way, port first or activate first
