    Are you pressing save after you've set it up?

    yes

    That's odd. Could try resetting to default and see if it pulls them back in. In the menu where you see the list of APNs press the three dots and reset.

    I just reset mine and it found the 2 apns again. You need to select the data one after so it's selected like in the screenshot above.

    Leave it as it is. Data should be working now. Turn off wifi to check. If you get any error let us know what it is.

    Has anyone successfully ported over from Virgin ?
    I have spent over 2.5 hrs onto Eir this week trying to port 2 numbers and the amount hassle has been ridiculous. 4 days later, it's still has not ported over.

    I reckon call 1800 303 719 and chance your arm. The sales rep will be only dying to sign you up.

    I'll give it a shot in two weeks when my Virgin 3-months free deal is up.

    Yes. Be sure to tell them what deal you were on with VM. If it was 25/month it was Billpay & they need your VM account number to successfully port.

    The online porting link (https://www.eir.ie/porting/) which Sales encouraged me to use simply does not work, & I gave that feedback. You must call 1905.

    Signed up for broadband along with this sim only deal. Got a text today to say €50 credit has been added to my account and will come off the next bill. I don't think that was mentioned in the deal so that was a pleasant surprise.

    Just got my first bill and it was higher than expected. I noticed on my daughter's itemised bill the following ...
    other sms
    25 May 18:57 57976 SMS 0.0899
    25 May 18:58 089xxxxxxx SMS 2.5000
    25 May 18:58 089xxxxxxx SMS 2.5000
    25 May 18:58 089xxxxxxx SMS 2.5000

    Obviously some sort of scam. I have to say the webchat is a bit of a nightmare chatting to clueless people for ages trying to get it sorted. In the end it appears it's my problem and not theirs. This is the problem with this crowd. When something goes wrong it's impossible to talk to someone to get it sorted. A wee bit pissed off to say the least.

    I presume if i text STOP to 57976 and then block the number it shoulkd be the end of it? Any pount in trying to get my money back?
    I know it's only 7.60 but i hate the idea of being scammed by these scum :mad:

    Eir won't refund you. The premium text company will need to do that.

    Just to be aware that this could be MMS, I have an eir bill phone and not long after I signed up I had similar on my second bill, turns out I had sent a number of messages that included images and was charged 2.50 per text as it was billed as MMS

    Took a bit of persuasion but Eir are going to compensate me. Fair play to them.
    Just doesn't sit well that these scum (not Eir) can just rob you of your money by sending YOU a text.

    You can opt out of premium text by
    Texting: PRSMSBAR to 50104

    To opt in (competitions etc)
    Text: PRSMSALLOW to 50104

    You can also opt out of premium calls by ringing eir customer service.

    In fairness to eir it took ages to port my number over from vodafone and they gave me 20 euro credit after I complained, credit where credit is due.
