    I have spoken to 11 different people in Eir and spent over 3 hours trying to get the service I requested. I am a broadband customer and recently moved my 2 mobiles from prepay to postpay. I did all this online and filled in all the information. However to date Eir have only ported the number of one of the phones. I tried to do it online myself to be told I can't. I have been on online chat to 2 different people and neither could do it. I have spoken to 9 different people between 1905 and 1901 and I just keep getting transferred. From a customer point of view it seems like it should be the easiest thing to do, change from prepay Eir to postpay Eir yet your staff don't seem to have a clue how to do it. To top it off, while on hold for 45 minutes this morning I get a text notifying me that my Eir bill, for a service I'm not receiving, is ready.
