    I have a missed call this evening from setanta, 0818 number.
    They are on the hunt for subscriptions once our 1 month freebie ends.
    9.99 is the most I will pay for it, even more so with the end of the soccer season in England approaching .

    Got a call from them a short while ago asking if I was interested in subscription but I declined, told her not really worth the cost so she asked would I be interested if she gave me a special offer - again declined. We only had it for the gaa of which they only showed 1 game of interest.

    I signed up for this but the station's never came! I couldn't really complain to anyone for not getting anything for free!

    Not sure if they'll go for that as it is normally €25

    I had been on 9.99 a month with them for about 12 months, last time my contact was up they offered 12.99 a month and refused to budge on the price ( they normally would budge ). Not in a million years would I pay 25 euro a month for it alongside the sky bill.

    Same here, & the last games are shown this w/end on TG4!

    Did you ring them up? as the same happened to me, until i rang them a few days later, was told either the signal couldn't have been strong enough or a backlog of people to work thru!

    I got the call too, usually i get a pushy fella, but this time i got a delightful person from Fife & would have taken up the offer but didn't, as i was heading out the door, but are ringing me back, the offer was €9.99 p/mth afaik it was for 2mths (although it ends in mid May) & €12.99 for 5mths to bring you up for the next season, but won't be going for that as Euro2016 is on!

    I haven't received a call on this yet, I'll definitely take it for a tenner a month if they do actually call.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52 ✭✭Captain Don Thorpe


    I missed a call from them too. Can I just call them back and ask for the offer?

    Missed a call from them yesterday. Had 4 missed viber calls earlier....googled the number and it was Setanta! Looks like they will try and contact you any way possible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,565 ✭✭✭✭km79


    missed them again!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,028 ✭✭✭xabi


    I keep missing them too, I called them but the best they could do was 12.99 / month for 4 months. I asked about the 9.99 and she said its only the outbound retention team that can offer it.

    Ask to speak to her team leader / supervisor

    That's how I got a rather cracking deal on sky


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,565 ✭✭✭✭km79

    Told him no need give me 9.99 for 2 months and I'll take it
    He agreed
    Job done inside a minute

    Still no call from them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,028 ✭✭✭xabi


    Called just now, 9.99 for 2 months. Mine is up on Monday but they had been trying to get me all week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭ads20101


    Ok, signed up for another 2 months for €9.99 per month.

    God, the chap wouldn't stop talking about sport. Man, I thought I was down the pub!!

    Just a quick bit though. Anyone signed up for this offer will need to email them after 10days. Otherwise it could revert to normal price after the 2 months.

    Missed 2 or 3 calls to my mobile from them over the past week. Then an hour ago I got a call to my landline. A lovely chatty lady offered me 2 months at €9.99. Took it:D.
