Best bill pay package on any sim

bradlente

Hey all, just wondering what the best option going around for a bill phone is these days. Will probably have a look at a comparison site later, but some weird ones were coming up at first (lycamobile?) so thought I'd throw this up to see if anyone's in the know.

What's your usage? Are you looking for unlimited calls, texts or data?

Usage not much, i get 5gb a month for 20 pre-pay currently, which takes 10 off my credit so is a pretty bad deal. But I don't use much more than that. I usually find myself topping up a lot more now because of landline costs, so I'm looking for calls and minutes more than anything.

Bill pay is a very expensive way to go, they start at €30 a month with 3 and €40 a month with Vodafone, my bill is €60 a month with Vodafone and I can’t wait for it to end, works out cheaper to but the phone and use a sim only plan
Vodafone x is a good plan sim only
Vodafone data user plan is also very good as you keep the credit (€20)on your phone after topping up for 15gb a month and unlimited texts giving you the option of buying a call bundle if needed

I'd probably spend 30 on pre pay a month easily enough, once you're onto someone on landline for a few minutes half your credit is gone, and there's constantly some awkward number popping up that needs to be called for 10+minutes..

I'll check out vodafone x, will change to the data user plan for now as well, dunno how i missed that over the last while.

Vodafone X doesn't seem like a bad deal, strange how you don't need to prove you're a student even though its supposed to be specifically for that.

Do "network minutes" include landline calls?

edit-it does just read the ts n cs

Lycamobile payg is cheapest
Unlimited calls and 15gb data for €7.50pm
Has some issues though

just a warning, "network minutes" does not include 1800 numbers, and if you top up without changing your addon, Vodafone just eats your credit.

Irish 1800 numbers should be free, if you are being charged for these get onto comreg.

1890 are not free (but most/all 1890 numbers have regular geographic alternatives which ARE include in "network minutes" if you can find them)

bradlente

yeh i meant 1890, will have to look if theres an alternative like you mentioned
