    It's hard to know which is better really, conflicting views...but if its the same price, then Samsung all the way, as you say, future resale... I would have to see if they are offering the Edge though....

    I know google is my freind and all that but im lazy :-)

    Is the Edge better than the S7? Thought I read on a thread here about some people who regretted getting the Edge over the S7. But again,I have fully looked into it. It looks sleeker and cooler but would the Edge take a case and screen protector??I defo need those as I've gone through a few screen protectors and 2 cases with my Z3!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭bidiots


    The Edge just has the sleek factor, a few nice touches with the edge apps(google away) but I think it will hold its value much better than the standard, thats why im swaying towards the edge....there are cases and protectors out there, but to be honest, if you are going to wrap the phone in a case then im not sure if the Edge will be worth the difference in price....needs must obv


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭toby2111


    Yeh and the the Edge is 5.5" screen which is just a bit big for me. Personally,I'm leaning towards the S7 as I need case/screen protector but the Edge certainly is a beautiful looking phone.

    Are you still in contract? I'm out of contract a few months and I was quoted 199 for the S7!! Strange, how they have different upgrade prices for customers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭bidiots


    Still in contract and still with Eir home number attached, if that makes the difference...I was surprised at the difference too.
    Did you call them or were you in the shops? I phoned them, might be different options that way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭toby2111


    Yeh,I rang also and thats the price I was quoted. Have parents Eir number attached also. Would've thought upgrade price would be lower when out of contract to try lure you back in again!!Obviously not!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 726 ✭✭✭sue97


    Is anyone finding the coverage very bad lately on EIR

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭bidiots


    Was pretty poor this morning for me but back to 4G now.
    Also, will probably go for the S7 on the options above, seems good value with everything considered...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 49 thelynchs


    Got the €99 S7 this week. Out of contract since may, no eir phone attached. Be persistant, hell of a deal if you can get it !

    I checked the prices of iPhone 7 and was told €299 for iPhone 7 and €399 for 7 plus


  • Registered Users Posts: 213 ✭✭mac1961


    I checked the prices of iPhone 7 and was told 299 for iPhone 7 and 399 for 7 plus

    I rang sales and was quoted 399 for iPhone 7 32gb. If you don't mind me asking did you ring or go in store to get that price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭bidiots


    I'm actually pulling out of emobile. Got quotes for upgrades, not too bad. But, it transpired that the tariff I signed up to(all calls/texts and 5gb data on 4G) should have been 39pm and not what I was paying. So they quickly pulled the applied discount and put me back on the 39pm. Not sure to who's advantage the rep thought this would be but they should have ignored it if they wanted me to stay.
    So then, on Friday, I said I wanted to cancel. I was offered the current deal I'm on now, 25pm, with the upgrade options, but after 6 months, revert to 39pm. The other option is 30 day rolling contract, of my current deal(Which is an ok offer tbf)
    I was told that I could think about it over the weekend, and this wouldn't affect my 30 days notice, my bill date is 14th of each month. I asked if the extra days would affect my notice period and was told, No.
    Went to cancel today and all of a sudden, I must give 30days notice from Today, not last friday. So this has pissed me off no end and I'm just going to pull the plug on emobile. I dont NEED an upgrade, would have been nice, but they need to work on trying to entice customers to extend rather than piss them off.
    Off to Vodafone 20pm (all calls/texts 1gb data).....adios Eir.

    If you look back over this thread, you'll see they are trying to get people off that deal for a long time now. I got €25pm unlimited calls/texts 10GB 4G free EU roaming, as part of a bundle with my Broadband.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭bidiots


    Yip, it looks like that. But then how does it make sense if they re-offer the current contract as well as other options?
    You're deal sounds pretty good. I dont need the data, rarely without wifi so the less per month with all minutes/texts, the better....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,164 ✭✭✭shmeee


    My current emobile plan is due to expire at the end of the month. 39e a month, unlimited calls & texts and 5gb.

    Looking up online here today and iphone 7 is €299 it seems on their plans but I can't get the price of the plan only online as it is giving me a bundle with broadband.

    Anyone get the iphone 7 with eir? What plan did you take?

    Cheers

    How does everybody find EIR roaming?

    I'm on this plan. Have been abroad 4 times this year and have had an issue each time. No internet in Europe.

    I was left without any phone for 2 weeks in the US recently. EIR customer support was atrocious.

    I've to wait another 12 months but no matter what happens at that stage, I'm done with EIR. I doubt I've a case to break my contract at the moment but would love to get out now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭toby2111

    Only been to USA and UK but never had a problem.

    Im out of contract with eir. If i want to change provider do i have to give them 30 days notice or can i go to different provider and port my number straight away?


  • Registered Users Posts: 279 ✭✭turniphead


    Anybody know what is Eir's current SIM only plan?

    I asked in their forum and was told to call into a shop or ring their customer service. Can't find any information online. Thanks.

    i think it's €25 pm if you have Eir BB, €35 if you don't. you have to connect a store, which is crazy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 726 ✭✭✭sue97


    Anyone else get a letter from eir to say they are removing them from this deal. They want me to pay 5 euro a month extra. Time to shop around me thinks.

    I'm on this deal but haven't got that letter.......yet! I presume they are legally entitled to do that???

    They only rang me offering an upgrade.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭toby2111


    They only rang me offering an upgrade.

    What were they offering you? I've had a few missed calls from them. If the S8 was reasonably priced, I might take it.

    Hundred and fifty euro i think for S8 i said id hold off for the S9 she told me there was no sign of the S9 coming two weeks later it was released :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭toby2111


    Am out of contract on this plan so rang to see about an upgrade. First off, she offered me S8 for €299. I said am not interested, then offered a huawei p8 lite for €49. Told her I'm looking around other providers so she dropped S8 to €249 or free p8. Declined both offers and she asked why....... Cos it's too dear that's why!
    Anyone else get any upgrade offers?


  • Registered Users Posts: 589 ✭✭✭Foreign Sports


    So I've finally given up this plan, which I've had to do in order to pre-order the Huawei P20 pro.

    Going to revert to the standard 10GB 400 mins plan @€;45 pm which will give me 4G coverage for the first time at the expense of unlimited calls with 15Gb on 3G @34.50.

    I was told that I could stay on the select unlimited 18 plan and get the phone at the same price when released (€449) but I'd be missing out on the pre-order offer of free Bose Qc 35 II.

    Have been waiting on something to tempt me to upgrade for a long time and the P20 pro with the headphone offer is one to push me over the line.


  • Registered Users Posts: 213 ✭✭mac1961


    Anybody got any issues with this plan. A friend of mine went in to get an upgrade as he hadn’t got one in over 3 years. They told him plan was gone and he would have to go on one of their new plans. Just wondering if anyone else was having a problem.

    Sounds strange, didn't think you could be forced off a legacy plan. I rang last week about an upgrade and they offered me some.... they were quoting silly money to upgrade to S9.. Even the S8 was €199. But never said anything about plan being gone.

    That’s what I thought. I’m on the same plan and never had an issue. But I never go into the shop I ring sales. I think they saw him coming he wouldn’t say boo to a fly and are taking advantage. They wanted him to sign up for €50 plan. I told him to ring sales, but said I would put it out here first to see if anyone else had a problem

    Yeh, I've only ever upgraded over the phone. Have you upgraded lately? Get any decent deals?

    By the looks of it they want everyone off this plan with the prices they are charging for upgrades.

    Yeh, same with me. Might hold off a few months & just get the S8, be cheaper than s9


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭toby2111


    Just rang today and they said that from January,they are no longer providing upgrades on this legacy plan. Said I have to move to a new plan....can they do that?Anyone upgrade on this plan this month?

    Think you mean Eircom rather than this ancient Emobile thread. Please post a new thread. That seems a tad unfair, that they'd be happy to continue charging (35?)but not give any added value
