Hmm, well I just called into Cruises St and asked how much the Galaxy S3 was on the plan and was told €249, mentioned someone had said they'd got it for €149 on the plan in the store and was pretty completely rebuffed that it could be done. Emobile really don't seem to have any kind of consistency with this.

okee · 24-06-2012 09:55PM

It's all very cloak and dagger, I think i'll opt for the Galaxy S 2 for €99.

Anyone know if MMS messages are included as free under this tariff??

Melion · 24-06-2012 10:57PM

No MMS aren't included. Just use whatsapp instead.

Does anyone know why my video calling isnt working on the s3? I have full 3g, so does the person I'm calling but no luck. They are using iphone 4

looder · 24-06-2012 10:58PM

Is video calling included in the tariff?

It's included as far as the data allowance will go.

sorry if it's been asked but I can't find it anywhere but has anyone been charged the 100 on first bill

joeKel73 · 25-06-2012 09:07AM

Those who have received their first bill haven't been charged. Wish I got it in time for the €139!

recyclops · 25-06-2012 09:27AM

my first bill is the 5th il have to wait and see

No, first bill came in at ~41 euro (34.50 + the difference for the week extra I was on the tariff)

No extra 100 euro charge.

Did they tell you that you would be charged the additional €100 in your bill?

What are eMobile like for roaming charges? Would I be best buying a meteor sim or something if I was going away?

I've been thinking a lot about taking this offer up but have never been on bill before.

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 25-06-2012 11:23AM

These might help - billpay roaming rates on various carriers:

eMobile roaming: here
Meteor roaming: here

3Ireland roaming: here

O2 roaming: here (near impossible to find this page on o2online.ie)
48months roaming: here

Tesco Mobile roaming: here

Vodafone roaming: here

Lycamobile roaming: (says you can roam, but can't see the rates - lycamobile.ie)

Postfone roaming: here

There's also MoreMobile (coming soon?) and Blueface Mobile (?).

Another option is to use an operator like MaxRoam - website
(think these are Irish owned as well)

Thanks very much. certainly doesn't seem much if at all worse than any other network.

other than Meteor, which are a fraction of those costs IIRC.
ie. same price as at home, no call answer fees, 9c texts etc etc

Would of thought eMobile had the same euro roaming tarrifs.

Meteor - Pay As You Go customers will now pay 12c for a text and 29c for a phone call home while
Bill Pay customers can enjoy 10c texts and 25c calls home. Plus receiving a call is totally free.

Mr. Incognito · 25-06-2012 12:31PM

Does anyone have a valid voucher number please- rang today and my home phone number isn't one of the "handfull" chosen.

Now in fairness the call was being recorded

FatBeard · 25-06-2012 12:56PM

I'd appreciate a voucher code if anyone has got one. Rang em up and tried to be as charming as I could but no budging with them.

dan185 · 25-06-2012 03:17PM

if anyone has a spare voucher code going please pm me!

joeKel73 · 25-06-2012 03:25PM

As someone said you're unlikely to get someone to send you their account number here. Good time to catch up with your uncles, aunts, cousins etc..

Damie · 25-06-2012 03:26PM

As has been said, vouchers were specific to their eircom number so I doubt people will disclose details on a public forum.

I didn't have a voucher when I rang up, I just gave my home number and hoped for the best. Keep ringing until you find someone who will give it to you....

All the best

***as joe pointed out above :0

This is what I did too.

I didn't get it the first time but the second girl I talked to gave it to me, no problem. Keep trying lads.

breathn · 25-06-2012 04:12PM

Somebody in this thread said to stay tuned because this offer is going to be extended to a lot of people and they won't need a voucher code.

Does that insider have any more information?

I went into my local eMobile shop today, and they are giving out vouchers to anyone for the €34.50 deal until the 30th, and you sign up with them in the shop. All joined up today, apparently iPhone 4s only available in 16 and 64GB.

Bit of a shambles alright.
Name, billing address and email all wrong for me.
I distinctly told them my current rental address would be just for delivery yet they still put it down as a billing address.

Took a bit of work & many phone calls to the courier company but I got the phone in the end! To keep life interesting emobile customer care seemed incapable of porting my number from 3, first attempt they had a typo in the account number, the second attempt seems never to have been put through but finally on Sunday I went into an actual emobile shop and the helpful person behind the counter sorted it out for me there and then.

Number moved an hour or so later & it was him who told me that attempt #2 hadn't been put through at all!

Anyway the phone is great & it's a superb offer, hopefully things will run smoothly from here on out.

For the various people who've asked about vouchers, I just got a friend's eircom account number & their land line number which worked without a hitch.

okee · 26-06-2012 08:40AM

Here's what i did if it's any help

Rang emobile yesterday spoke to a fella there and told him i wanted to sign up for this deal,
he said i didn't have a voucher associated with my eircom line. and maybe if i rang eircom i could get one.

So I rang eircom spoke to a girl there explained the situation and asked would it be possible
to get a voucher she said she'd speak to that department, put on hold, 5 minutes later she
said it was fine took my details, Passport No, Address Bank Acc details etc and told me i'd
have my phone on Wednesday.
I ordered the Samsung Galaxy S2 for €89

Got a text this morning from DPD Ireland to say my phone will be delivered today between 1 and 4

take everything · 26-06-2012 12:46PM

When i rang them with my eircom account number, i was initially told sorry "we need a voucher number". I just said "eh no, a voucher number isn't actually necessary" and they just went ahead and signed me up.
LOL.

26-06-2012 07:29PM

Can anyone confirm if the prices for the phones are the same if you ring up instead of doing it online. My account number wouldn't work online so I rang up and was told the iPhone 4s was 299 euro, but I was told by someone else that it was 239 online

239 is online price, AFAIK.
