    Yes, only national landlines and mobiles included. Voicemail is also extra as far as I remember.

    Ok thanks

    Change the voicemail number from 171 to 08*5YourNumber. Press # and then pin. Treated as a free call

    Hey can I ask you when did you switch over? Only came across this board recently and was annoyed as I thought I missed out. I'm hoping they have extended it. So fed up with TM.
    Thanks

    Its on the main page of their website, u cant miss it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,138 ✭✭✭Maz2016


    The deal is still on. I switched myself about 6 weeks ago. Extremely impressed with the data. It's very very fast. I often get download speeds over 50mbps.
    Good advice from @TheDriver about the VM. You also get 100 free international texts if you download the My Meteor app and send them from that.

    Thanks a million, can't believe I didn't see that on the site lol. Going to head in and pick up a sim, just have to donate all my credit I've built up first lol.

    I had 8 euro. I donated it to bumbalance. It's a children's ambulance for terminally ill kids. Wasn't letting three off with it

    Deal is great but coverage is so bad in my house and work that I have to switch after just 2 months

    I ported from Vodafone to Meteor to get this deal, I signed up online to get my PAYG meteor sim card. I went into the meteor store today to sign up, they told me they can't do it as I had to keep my vodafone number before switching instore to the €20 deal.

    Is there a way around this? Will I have to port back to vodafone and return to the store with a working vodafone account before I can switch? I'm on the 15gb and unlimited calls deal at the moment.

    Any advice would be welcome, thanks.


    EDIT: Nevermind, I got the problem sorted.

    Signed up for this today online, seemingly the last day of it. They will send out the sims, and I can activate / port later.

    The support rep I was speaking to said today was the last day. Not sure is that the truth, but she said it was.

    Cost me nothing to get the sim(s), must as well order it I would say.

    Hope it's not as was planning to change next week. Big banner ad for it is still on their website anyway.

    Thanks all. Family member signed up yesterday, ported number, topped up, all going well.
    They got a few annoying messages saying they had 0 credit but hopefully that will stop as they won't need any more credit per month unless making international calls.

    If they have an iPhone they will get that message as you need credit to activate iMessage

    The one you highlighted if you want prepay


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,115 ✭✭✭jeffk


    Got email about SIM on the way.

    No mention of 30 for 20, text 20 unlimited and I selected move number when ordering SIM


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,178 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    Shops and CS agents tend to not know about the offer. Sometimes they help out by letting you know about sim free bill plans
