Is there any difference to one hundred international minutes and one hundred Irish landlines and mobiles?

One is for calling abroad and one isn’t

Have a read of the first couple of pages of this and the last couple pages. It has all the info many times over. In short you can’t get it as an existing customer- you HAVE to port out to another network and back in again. All other info is contained within the thread, just throw a quick look over the last few pages

If only there was a thread with all the answers.

@corks finest is there any chance you can update the first post to contain all the info and process so it’s quicker for people to find the info? Or possibly update the thread title with ref to a post number with it all?

Just read the thread
Jesus what is it with people these days they want to have everything on a plate
Generation of precious snowflakes lol
If you want to save money then read the thread and if not jog on

I’m well aware of what the plan is , how to get it and all that and you’ll see I was following it and commenting on the thread from the start. I’ve also given background  info and work arounds  for certain situations because I worked for the network for 7 years. The reason I asked him to update it was because I’m tired of seeing the same thing , people asking how to get the plan without eve reading the thread which contains all the answers which could save people money each month  which is why I suggested editing the original post if at all possible. That’s all! I just refrained from calling people out directly like that ;-)

Hey I'm in the same boat, maybe something's happening on the sales team end. They're supposed to be the ones that send the request for the DATA USER PLAN to be applied to your number. I just talked to the india folks and they've said they just sent a reminder to the sales team, and in the mean time they added another 5GB data to my account

Alright lads, I am porting from tesco mobile to the data user plan

I rang vodafone mobile sale team in NI for a sim last friday at 1pm.

Sim was delivered at 1pm today.

Tesco sim stopped working at 130pm today.

I got a text to my tesco sim before it died that said "to facilitate your move to vodafone you will only be able to receive calls and text messages for a short period, please check your voicemail now, thank you"

I put the vodafone sim into my phone and rang my old tesco mobile number and the phone rang with the new sim installed.

Does that mean I am fully ported?

I rang the NI sales team to ask about activation and she said I am already activated but I never got the text most people on the thread got to say I am activated.

I have read post 1066.

I'm just wondering how I get the free credit/texts now or will I not get them because I am already ported?

Also I never got the €20 credit.

Yeah if your old number is ringing with the new sim installed, then it's ported.


As for activation, register your number and download the vodafone app. Open the app and and go to the main page. There should be "Student Offer" written at the bottom. If it's not there, then you're not activated yet.

If you only got ported today, I doubt you're already activated. Maybe she just misunderstood you. It usually takes a few days to activate, usually 3 or 4 days.

Rock Paper Scissors

Thanks for your reply james.

I just downloaded the vodafone app and registered and got €10 free credit.

On the main screen it says nothing about a student offer so I must not be activated yet.

I rang 1907 to try to get some free minutes/data and someone in a foreign call centre answered and had no clue what I was talking about.

Maybe I should call back the mobile sales team in NI to try get the free minutes/data?


Rang 1907 twice and got 2 foreign people, i asked about the free calls/data to tide my over and they had no clue what I was talking about.
Rand the NI mobile sales team and he hdnt got a clue about the free calls/data either

I called 1747. Maybe try that.


I got through to an asian call centre too and the 1st fella who answered had no clue. That seems pretty common. Thankfully I was transferred to another guy who knew what I was asking for and got me sorted.


I would say call 1747 tomorrow and tell them that you already signed up for a plan but it's taking a few days to activate. And then tell them you need minutes and data so you can use your phone in the mean time.

Sweden is in the EU so it will work exactly as it does at home. No extra charges.
