Great value, I ported from Vodafone over a month now and have no issues whatsoever.

Dundrum said the offer was over. Any ideas? On a Three phone.

Port-in offer is now totally closed according to the live chat

At this point we need someone to see if texting "20unlimited" will still opt them into the offer

sapphade · 01-08-2017 8:21pm

found a spare sim at home that had the 30 euro unlimited deal . texted 20unlimited to 50104 today 1 august and it seemed to work . Got the reply that said : Thanks for choosing Simply Unlimited any network+texts and 15Gb data 20e .......
hope this helps

You can schedule it but there is no need. The action of topping up doesn't activate the plan (like Tesco) but rather meteor taking the money from your credit on your due date

So let's say that my plan finishes on Monday Morning, I can just top up 20 EUR now and on Monday morning Meteor will take the money automatically from my balance, is this correct?

I did the same yesterday evening. And like you it worked too.

Yes.

What would happen if you exceeded the FUP? I think the T&C's say you get charged standard rates. You could also lose credit on out of bundle items like premium texts, MMS, international calls. Might seem obvious but even if you lost say 25c on an MMS your top up would fail. I'm new to this plan but I was going to top up on the day it's required for me to top up.

mgbgt1978 · 02-08-2017 1:36pm

Still working.
Stuck in a new Meteor Sim last night and texted 20unlimited to 50104. Got a text back immediately confirming my €20 plan.
Just put €20 credit on the phone now and got a text back to say that "your Simply Unlimited Any Network Mins & Texts and 15GB Data 20e offer is now active", etc.
Made a few calls and sent a few texts just to be sure and all is well.

TheDriver · 02-08-2017 1:40pm

Can u put in say 60euro and forget about it for 3 months or do u actually have to top up monthly?

mgbgt1978 · 02-08-2017 1:44pm

From what I can see they would simply debit €20 every 28 days from your credit.
Although, with the changeover to Eir next month there might be changes. Even though they have stated that things will remain static for existing Meteor customers you know yourself exactly what mobile providers are like in this country.

fifib · 02-08-2017 1:52pm

TheDriver - yes you can, once there is sufficient credit in your account for the plan you are signed up to it will automatically take the €20 from this when the plan/offer is due for renewal

mgbgt1978 · 02-08-2017 6:57pm

@TheDriver. According to this;
http://www.boards.ie/ttfthread/2057767009

you do have to actually top-up each month.....even though you may have more than enough credit in your a/c to cover your plan

Possibly a question for the Talk to Meteor Forum

Pacifico · 02-08-2017 10:19pm

I accidentally topped up by 40. Worked fine for 2 months...

fifib · 03-08-2017 11:50am

anyone already a meteor customer and try signing up to this? Im on the €30 plan for unlimited data, tests and calls. but i text the offer eysterday and it seemed to work. im in middle of current plan though so ill wait til that expires in 2 weeks and top up with 20 then. be great to get it without having to change my number.

Text offer to 50104
It will tell you what plan is activated to be used next time you top up

Can you let us know how this works out for you. I'm on the same €30 plan but I'd be interested in getting it down to the €20 if possible. Still have 19 days left on mine.

_Kaiser_ · 05-08-2017 12:00pm

So thinking of moving one of my numbers to this.. Can I get a fresh SIM, activate it with this offer and then port the number over later?

TheDriver · 05-08-2017 1:04pm

Yes, u can do it either way, port first or activate first

alwald · 06-08-2017 12:35pm

I am going on holidays to Spain this week, my top up will be done tomorrow meaning that I will have 6.3GB to use,, do I need to do anything to activate it or is it just a matter to loging to a network and using internet as usual? how can I track how much data is left while on holidays?

You don't need to do anything. You can track here

It won't affect your domestic data allowance and remember while roaming you can call/text/receive any mobile or landline in the EU as part of your mobile bundle.

laoisfan · 06-08-2017 12:48pm

Just select a network. Text "Balance Data" to 50104. That's how you check data balance here not sure if it will work while roaming. Unlikely you would use that amount of data roaming.

When roaming you just text "Balance Roam" to 50104 and they will text you back with your remaining data allowance.

Pick up sim, text the 20unlimited and you'll know soon enough

I ordered the sim in july. Went to activate it first week in august and was told deal expired end of july. Argued Id ordered in july but was told nothing they could do. Got on to manager. Nothing could be done. Hung up. Rang back up, got someone else and they said it was expired but theyll put me on it anyway.
Certainly worth a shot but from that exchange it may be "officially" over.

TheDriver · 31-08-2017 10:59pm

I was told same so just texted 20unlimited and got the offer, no need for human intervention.

Thanks for the reply, how long ago was it that you sent the text?

TheDriver · 31-08-2017 11:25pm

End of july

Standard Toaster · 01-09-2017 12:00pm

If I was to move from bill pay (out of contract) to prepay, could I avail of this offer?

Did it work for you?

doniem · 01-09-2017 1:40pm

I'm going to grab a meteor simply over the weekend and try it out, I'll let you know how it goes

TheDriver · 01-09-2017 2:55pm

worked no problem

Thegalwayman · 01-09-2017 3:14pm

Ive ordered a SIM and going to try the text and see if it works for me. Free anyway

_Kaiser_ · 01-09-2017 5:04pm

So... (I've never had a prepay SIM so bear with me)

- get new Meteor prepay SIM
- load with credit?
- Text 20unlimited to 50104
- Get confirmation
- Port new number onto SIM later

Do you need to add the offer again at that stage?

Thegalwayman · 01-09-2017 5:22pm

I think its:

- get new Meteor prepay SIM
- Text 20unlimited to 50104
- load with credit
- Get confirmation
- Port new number onto SIM later

This if I remember correctly

- get new Meteor prepay SIM
- Text 20unlimited to 50104
- await confirmation of offer
- load with credit
- Get confirmation
- Port new number onto SIM later

_Kaiser_ · 01-09-2017 5:46pm

Cheers guys. I'll pick up a SIM tomorrow so and let ye know how it goes

_Kaiser_ · 02-09-2017 1:13pm

Just tried it now...

"Thanks for choosing Simply Unlimited Any Network Mins + Texts and 15GB Data 20e"

Result

phester28 · 02-09-2017 2:30pm

confirmed still works

TheDriver · 02-09-2017 3:25pm

I think it's best to NOT ask over in meteor forum about this.
On a side point, I topped up before I ported and for the first month it will say you must top up to get offer even though you topped up and active. You also won't get a text to remind u to top up until month 2

phester28 · 02-09-2017 4:27pm

Strange the portal says i must use all my minutes and data by Sept 7th and I just activated and topped up today.

Ten Pin · 02-09-2017 4:37pm

Text "offer" to 50104, you should get a reply saying how many days are left.

TheDriver · 02-09-2017 4:41pm

Unless u have my issue. Chat will usually sort u out

TheDriver · 02-09-2017 4:42pm

You can also text balance data or balance roam to that number.

torrevieja · 03-09-2017 1:34am

hey guys hitting Spain next week im on this offer,

How will i fair out in Spain, i dont have any extra credit just the offer , will i be able to recieve calls or do i need credit for this and can i ring my brother in ireland ?

TheDriver · 03-09-2017 1:36am

Yes, free and 6.3Gb data

Only · 03-09-2017 10:33am

So OH is already with Meteor Bill Pay (30 day contract) and is paying €30 for the same package. .. if we get a prepay sim ànd do this how so we port over his current number? Is it possible?

EIR prepay plan, €30 simplicity now €20, in-store/online sale.
