An post mobile - €12.99 per month for life

48.ie is a better deal as you get any network texts included unlike this plan.

Two quid more per month but Clear have been excellent for me. Unlimited everything, the only limit is a 5mb/s 4G download speed. That's plenty for streaming a film at 1080p (maybe not 1080p-60fps). Never have to think about how much data, texts, or minutes remaining.

True but having to top up addition credit to send an sms would be a pain imo. No plan is perfect I guess

When was the last time you sent a SMS? WhatsApp and iMessages have more or less made SMS obsolete..

Unlimited = a powerful word except in Ireland and a few other 'selected' countries ( here there's a limit in everything , including the Comm's Regulator ability to protect the consumer, unless EU Regulator decides for all EU territories)

they're a few Gotcha's in the telecom business that could be avoided if you read the small print and do the maths:

• monthly bill VS top up/bill every 4 weeks
• 'for life' subs VS bill pay with yearly April CPI increase
• Roaming settings/partner networks abroad : inherited from parent network ( Clear/Vodafone - Gomo/Eir) VS best effort ( all MVNO's )

I know but I have one or two contacts still on sms

Haven't had a problem with ours. I think 48 is a better deal.

If your travelling a lot that roaming makes a difference this an post plan is too limited.

There's still the odd text you'd send to elderly relative or someone you just don't want to connect with on whatsapp so they should be included in some small manner. Is it still 31 days if you auto top up?

Glad to hear the data speeds have recovered but be warned, vodafone were switching off some 3G masts and this 4G only

"Is it still 31 days if you auto top up?"

Probably but it's convoluted...

From https://www.anpost.com/Mobile/12-99-Plan

"1. Requires €12.99 top up every 28 days. A top up must be of the value of €12.99 or above in one transaction.

2. If you do not top up by €12.99 once every 28 days this plan will be cancelled."

Further down the page...

"Auto Top Up

Top up required every 28 days to re-activate your plan. You may set up Auto Top-Up for 31-day allowance. Auto Top up is not available for top up values less than €15. If you set your Auto Top up for €15 it will activate your €12.99 plan and you will receive €2.01 in General Credit for usage not allowed within the bundle."

What office numpty thought this was a good plan🤔🤔. Give them €2.01 every month as well, that's a bit Irish.

Who can be bothered with limited plans with convoluted allowances and payments. Just utter nonsense.

I don't even think we get the pip to tell you number is on a different network anymore.

Just spent a weekend + 1 wondering why outbound SMS can't get through. It's because it's not included. FFS.

username checks out 😂
