Eir have Wifi Calling so that should be the beat option for anyone using phone abroad. Only a few sets have it available yet but it does work well.

I would totally Switch to EIR to get this offer, but I'm pretty sure they don't do charge to mobile services. Maybe someone can clarify?

Excellent post thanks for answering this one! Steep prices but it actually works which is the main thing for me

I was only there last week so still had the txt with the rates fresh.

If youre going to use an app that you dont currently have, for example skype, and you have an iphone, its tricky installing apps in the states as its coming from a different apple store location, I had to do a of trickery with an Irish VPN to get an app to install so suggest installing anything before travelling.

Doesnt apply if youre on android obviously.

Nice! Bloody sick of Three's awful service (full coverage at my workplace but data is constantly in and out).

Moved to Eir this morning instore. €20 for 'Simply Unlimited Any Network Mins + Texts and 15GB Data 20e offer'.

Was advertised on the tvs in the store. The guy gave it a good go saying a sim only plan would be much more convenient etc. But the exact same sim only plan is €25 per month.

The eir/meteor staff always seem to push sim only and claim ignorance of the various plans available on the screen behind them.

Sure every network does that. They push what's best for them not what's best for the customer.

To a point but meteor lads instore seem to be even better at it.

4G

I have to say I'm very pleasantly surprised at the quality of service from Eir compared to Three.

Coverage seems around the same but far, far superior data speeds and connectivity around Dublin city centre and north co dublin.

Can you tether with Eir?

Meteor allowed it, didn't hear anything to the contrary since the switch to Eir.

Even tethering whilst roaming.

No, carrier billing where you use credit to buy direct from the play store or with billpay they add it to your bill.

No with Eir, only can be done with Three and Vodafone in Ireland, but you have alternative methods of payment on that link, maybe Paypal, Revolut debit card or similar.

The wife finished her bill pay with Meteor/Eir the other day she sent the text but only got calls and data no texts anybody else have this problem

I think data, texs and calls are only for new Eir customers.

I think is the other way around, the €20 for Unlimited Text/Calls and 15GB of data is only for new customer porting over, but I think in previous post existing customers were also getting it, some ported out for a few days and back to Eir to get the offer.

EDIT: I just noticed the plan even has Switch and Save on the top left.

Strange the daughter done exactly the same as the wife and she got it.

Finally out of contract with Eir, ported to Vodafone for all of two hours. The bloke in Eir had the deal all setup when handing me the new SIM card. Old SIM went dead within 20 minutes then I topped up the new Eir SIM. Got a simply unlimited text to verify the deal was active, happy days.

Thanks OP.

Anyone else think that because you don't opt into this plan they would change it in the future?

sham69

I Just signed up to Eir but went for the 35 euro a month deal which in hindsight seems a bit pricey, do you reckon they would change me on to this deal?
The sim is only being delivered today?
Cheers.

Can someone clarify if the unlimited calls and texts on the switch and save offer is to all networks and landline or just eir numbers?
