i didnt get either yet and signed up yesterday

I just checked there. I ordered on a Tuesday, got email and text from Nightline on Thursday and it was delivered on Friday morning.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth my while doing this..

Pros
- cheaper monthly bill (9.99 as an existing broadband customer vs 60 with Vodafone currently)
- double data
- WiFi calling
- 30 day rolling contract
- signal is no better with Vodafone anyway in my experience

Cons
- early cancellation charge with Vodafone is just under 300
- It's eir. As long as nothing goes wrong it's grand, but..

Very tempted to do it all the same. Am I mad?

if you do the math yes it's worth your while
10 x 12 = 120 per year
60 x 12 = 720 per year

120 + 300 fee = 420 per year v 720 saving you 300 overall.

Yea, that plus the higher data allowance, WiFi calling and not being tied to a long term contract.

Will switch over next week when the Vodafone month resets then I think

Ask eir would they cover any of the contract breakage cost?
If switching broadband they give €200 towards contract breakage.
There is a slim chance of then doing it but it's worth a shot.

How long is left on your vodafone contact? You might be better off just waiting on your vodafone contact to end if it's less than 6 months.

Yep but this offer will have expired by then and the regular price is what.. 30 quid?

It runs until June, assuming they dont pull the plug on it sooner, so you'd be better off letting your Vodafone contract run down to save you a month or two on that Leaving Early fee.

Something that might be worth considering is asking Vodafone if it's possible to keep the contract, but change the number on the contract (Some random number that they can assign you). Then your number can be moved to Vodafone PAYG, and then you can switch to Eir. Keep the Vodafone contract and let it run its course (not having to pay it all up front)

Does it? I thought someone above quoted mid may for the end of this offer? (on phone so multi quoting is a pain)

Apoligies, that's the EIR sport expiration date.

The actual offer life time is this: This offer is only available from 08/04/19 until
10/05/2019.

10 May deadline for this offer. The deal accquired in actual shops reverts to €29 in June I believe.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but do you pay tax on top of the 14.99 per month ?

What I did.
1. Rang 1800303719 and signed up on a Tuesday.
2. SIM arrived Friday morning after getting Nightline delivery notification on Thursday.
3. Called to local eir store on Saturday and they switched my Vodafone PAUG number.

The time from which the eir store started the switch to being on eir was about 10-15min.

Now rather than paying €20 every 28days (€21.40/30days),
I'm paying €15 every 30days and not having to worry about topping up.
As an extra I now have more data, WiFi calling world wide and eir sports mobile which will hopefully will last beyond July.

I switched myself this week (got my sim today). The girl on the phone said all existing eir sports channels will be honored for the duration of the contract, regardless if Eir lose the BT channels as reported in the press.

Decided to give this a try. The broadband and mobile sim only. Given the saving compared to virgin I thought I'd risk their service. So i finished up the call. And then received a text saying my install was scheduled for the morning despite specifically requesting an afternoon install. Hope this is the only hiccup. Otherwise I'll be availing of the cooling off period.

I got a call-back after a couple of days. Person I was talking to was clueless. I'm under contract at the moment (for another month or so), so was asking could I terminate existing contract and take the onebigswitch.ie offer for 14.99 for the year. Think offer expires on 10th May - she first told me it doesn't expire til end of July, but then said it could end any day. Then told me my contract ended 4 months ago, when it didn't. In the end advised me to contact the loyalty team. Tried them this morning but had to give up after 10 mins hanging on the phone.

Another 7 days and still no contact.
Not a great start to a relationship! :rolleyes:

Call them.

So I missed a call from them today, then they text me to say I can avail of self install and the broadband can be sent today. If I agree to this does the broadband contract begin once I receive the modem? I originally scheduled in a "technician" visit for the end of the month as I'm still finishing up my notice with virgin media.
