    Phew!

    Just ploughed through the entire thread, all 2003 posts !

    I reckon it could easily be condensed into about 20 posts, bar the user experience posts.
    Practically all questions are answered by reading the FAQ linked to in the OP.

    RE.:- people not bothering to try to help themselves by spending a little, of their own, time doing a search but instead expect other people to waste/spend their time to answer a post when it has been answered many many times before, is in my estimation the height of bad manners. It is in effect, saying, "My time is too important to spend time searching, but yours isn't."

    Yes, someone should do something about that :)

    Yes I understand that but why not just reply "this is already answered " instead of unnecesssry ridiculing comments like "did you not even read the website " or "answered a million times already ". Absolutely no need for it . I've made my point . Hope someone sees it and agrees and does something about it . Back to topic.

    Seems like a good idea. More controllable and means that Sims aren't assigned to be ported before they arrive.

    Impressive how they've managed to change the system to react to real life situations.

    Fun and games on their Facebook page!!

    They seem to be very active on the Facebook page - might be worth sending them a message there

    Sign-up complete.

    Bye Bye Vodafone. It’s been nice knowing you these last 25 years..... ever since my eircell 088

    Signed up last Tuesday at 20:39
    SIM arrived by post yesterday
    Put it in my phone at 10pm last night and had 4G signal straight away.
    Logged on at 11 last night and booked my port for 8:30am this morning.
    Port completed by 8:50.
    All working. No issues.

    broadbandspeedtest.ie details:

    At home 74.1 down, 19.1 up
    At gym 70.1 down, 21.2 up

    Voda signal in the gym was usually 3G with 1 bar - now I can at least listen to stream radio/music in the gym while saving €300 annually.

    Happy happy days.

    Ordered last Tuesday. Spoke to chat yesterday who assured me I'd get the SIM today. No sign of it. Ridiculous at this stage.

    I get a bit of a 90's vibe from those ads, not sure if it is the bright, garish colours or the clothing the actors wear.

    Still I don't buy a service because of their ads! :D

    The ads are shít just like the website. It's just a bunch of pictures young people doing stupid poses in front of a solid colour background. It's so generic. They could be advertising anything. Just look at this image with the tag line 'Simplicity':

    How does a picture of some gimp with a terrible tracksuit and constipation convey simplicity?

    Regardless, the price is still great.

    Looks like the result of middle age marketers trying to be 'hip' and 'cool'

    It's terrible

    Same **** happens in all advertising, look at shaving/shampoo etc. I need those products and couldn't give a rats ass what the ads do, same for my mobile network provider.

    And yet here we are, all swayed by the marketing (which encompases the 9.99 price tag) with a significant chunk of posters going for it. I would suggest the marketing is working. People are aware of the brand, and they have a very specific demo. Are the people in this thread that are giving out about the campaign part of this demo they're targeting? i.e. twenty somethings looking for "subscription" pricing (note how bill pay is almost absent from their marketing... it's "9.99 a month..." just like Spotify / Netflix...).

    People aren't signing up because they seen some eejit pulling a stupid pose. They're signing up because it's a tenner a month. A lot of the interest was from the initial post on this thread which had none of those marketing images.

    If this was €30 a month, nobody would be interested in it. The marketing images are shíte, that doesn't change whether the offering is good value or not. If they had some other marketing images people would still be aware of it and they would still be signing up for it.

    There's an advertising forum around somewhere but this ain't it. This is a bargain forum with some discussion about the quality of the bargain which ultimately relates to the reason to go with the bargain.

    The price and the data threw it for me....

    Best deal I've ever seen and I just hope the signal will be up to it for me.

    The price is great. I've been on €15 a month for unlimited or close to unlimited since iD first started and I've always considered that a very good deal. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I seen this come out.

    Got an email this morning, came home to find the package put through the door with no need to sign, just waiting for my number to port over, hopefully, at four.

    Just chanced CHAT there and they confirmed that you can hold off on a port for as long as you like, the option will be left there in your account.
