    It's really only 7.5GB of data, but it's still more than the 1GB of data they gave you for €10 previously.

    i'm with 3 and usually top up by 20 month for unlimited data but might switch to this


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,463 ✭✭✭fifib


    im on €20 per month bill pay no contract and only get 1GB of data so Im switching back to PAYG for this offer. I use more data than the free calls or texts so I think its a great offer. When I rang to give 30 days notice on bill pay they didnt everything they could to keep me on bill pay offering me more minutes etc.. but its the data im after. I skype alot using my phone and find 1GB runs out in no time!

    I currently have the 250talkandtext offer which for €20 every 30 days gives me

    Free Meteor to Meteor calls & texts
    +
    Free Any Network texts
    +
    250MB internet

    and you keep your €20 phone credit to spend

    I have confirmed with Meteor if I were to add this unlimited deal to my account that its possible to have both deals run alongside each other so from the €20 credit I have €10 of it will go towards this deal each month leaving me with €10 to spend on other calls if needed

    not a bad deal at all for €20 total per month

    It might not be worth changing your network/plan over. It's a special offer that ends in two months (31st May).

    Ooh. Meteor marketing dept are cursing your eagle eye

    Also the use of 'unlimited' is getting more and more strained. 7.5Gb is the lowest limit definition I've seen yet of 'unlimited'

    where did you see that? I asked in Meteor shop how long this was lasting and he told me there was no end date on it so it may go on a good while

    It's in small, grey print on the linked webpage.

    "Offer ends 31st May 2014. Fair usage allowance of 7.5GB monthly applies."

    I was on this plan til I switched to 3

    Unlimited data (FUP of 15gb), 350 flexi units (2 texts or 1 min of call) for €20.xx a month. Pretty happy with it, rolling contract so can leave whenever I want.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,450 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Unlimited, except there's a limit? How can they get away with this, I get that 7.5GB is a lot compared to other providers, but it's still not huge...


  • Registered Users, Subscribers Posts: 13,451 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    If youre an eircom customer, you can get 45000 minutes, 10000 texts and 5gb of (4g) date for €25 per month, on a sim only plan.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,865 ✭✭✭✭January


    20 per month on 3pay gets you Unlimited Data (15GB fair usage), free any network texts (3000 fair usage per month), free any network weekend calls (again 3000 fair usage pm), free 3-3 calls and you get to keep your 20 euro to use too.

    All well and good until you try to make a call on the poor network that 3 use. I cant call my sister for example if she is inside her house as the coverage is so poor. All other networks are perfect and we live in a large town that should have decent coverge


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,099 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    I switched from Meteor to 3 last year due to the unlimited data €20 top up but it has been a nightmare some days. The network crashes at the moment it is stuck on E, I may switch back to Meteor when my credit has run out, thanks OP.

    emobile online, am currently on this plan & would recommend it,
    moved from Vodafone (500 Mb limit) to this one.

    I made a complaint to the ASAI over this unlimited branding. It is clearly limited. Not that I would go over the 7.5gb but it still grinds my gears. I did a review of the offerings on all the carriers yesterday and it seems that Tesco is one of the best value for standard 3-3.5G mobile connections. They offer 25 quid pay as you go for unlimited calls and 5gb data.

    I'm holding out signing up to bills until the 4G network settle down and competition heats up.

    Is this one not cheaper at only €24 per month on a 30 day sim only plan and its 4G
    I am sure if you know someone with an Eircom account that you could sign up via their account number as all it asks for is your account number and phone number when applying online

    Does the "special offer ends at the end of May" not mean that the ability to sign up for it end in May?

    I expected that also. All of the previous offers have had end-dates.

    Be nice if someone can actually check this out.

    Does the term 'unlimited' have actually any meaning anymore? I can understand fair usage limits so as not to be abused by commercial organisations but this is taking the piss.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,411 ✭✭✭StaticNoise


    Fair usage is a term that they give to stop people acting the idiot and running servers, downloading box sets, and generally being a bit of a fecker. They're a threatening point.

    Three's FUP: 15GB (people who have gone over this have not necessarily experience service cancellation, but slowdowns, and this hasn't happened in all cases)

    Meteor FUP: 7.5GB (you'll look at a slowdown on data speeds, and probably a reverting to the €1 per day charges)

    It is similar on most networks. It is good to look at the fine print, but on 'unlimited plans' you can expect some form of threat. UPC now have 'unlimited' plans, and they are limited once you're hitting several TB (terabytes) per month, and that's not even happened yet. It is just there to stop people acting foolish.

    Remember, you're sharing the network with other users. In your 'cell', there are others doing the same thing as you. Would it be fair for you to stop their services working because you're going hell for leather with downloads? It is there so that they can tell you to cop on, if needs be. All networks are different, remember.

    it seems that Tesco is one of the best value for standard 3-3.5G mobile connections. They offer 25 quid pay as you go for unlimited calls and 5gb data.

    For a €15 topup with Tesco Mobile you can get Unlimited Calls, a 5GB data add-on and €5 euro left over for SMS and International calls.

    Well at least its better than the pathetic offer Vodafone had a year ago of 150mb free data for 25€.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,936 ✭✭✭long_b


    Actually, Meteor have TWO Unlimited FUP settings

    15 GB for billpay
    7.5 GB for PAYG

    That's taking the piddle IMHO


  • Registered Users Posts: 144 ✭✭daredevil360


    Got a text off Vodaphone earlier today 1GB of data for 15 yoyo's!. Thats not great compared to other networks .


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,704 ✭✭✭Doylers

    hahahahahahahahahaha


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭Bobby42


    Just read on the meteor forum that your data allowance goes back to 1GB in August.

    Not much of an offer really.

    O2 got the same carry on... Their unlimited Internet is temporary. None of them are keeping them going, like Three are.
