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.

I ported from Vodafone today and the actual porting process took less than an hour,it was trying to get a hold of Eir that took longer,i hung up after waiting for over 20 mins,then went onto the online chat the first guy kept asking for my account number even though im a new customer i didn't have one yet,the second guy wasn't much better but after nearly 30 mins we got there.

Ported a couple of phones over from Virgin today.
Rang and got an Irish guy who asked for account number.
Told him I didn't have one and was porting over a couple of numbers from Virgin to Eir.
He then asked me the numbers porting from/to, 1st one done is under 60 seconds, 2nd one done in 10 minutes.
Have to say fairly easy (so far).

Has anyone ported away from Virgin's 3/4 months free offer?

I wonder if you become eligible for the offer again after a short period away from Virgin?

Had some success too with it. Another free three months. Happy days!

jeffk · 26-06-2019 2:52pm

Eventually got the virgin mobile three month deal (I think, still no email or text, but fingers crossed)

How do I get it for the three months and cancel? Saying about billing me for a month at the start or something?

_Whimsical_ · 26-06-2019 4:42pm

Well done to anyone who ported over easily. I was 6 days waiting for 2 phones to work.

Just port to another network ~3 days before the end of the 3 months.

Then once you're on the new network (for a day or two), sign up for Virgin Media again.

Do you not have to give 30 days notice

The Ayatolla · 27-06-2019 10:02pm

Nope!

Fingers Mcginty · 29-07-2019 9:24am

Hi, has anyone on this deal experienced awful mobile data speeds?

Sexual Chocolate · 29-07-2019 9:27am

Yesterday afternoon I did yeah.

tommycahir · 29-07-2019 10:09am

They have a new offer till 16/Aug for 19.99 a month for 12 months 30gb data, unlimited calls and texts with free eir sport till 30/Sept

True and if I was to see it advertised as unlimited or no limits or whatever, I'd assume it was a lot lower. They'd actually be better off advertising it as having an 80GBs limit.

bromley52 · 09-08-2019 11:54am

I just got this text on no limits data.

TheDriver · 09-08-2019 1:24pm

It's for prepay too, fup of 80Gb from next top up. Smart stuff when they know most people use home WiFi for all the heavy data stuff and barely use 10Gb on average a month according to press release.

jeffk · 09-08-2019 1:27pm

I'll be using more than 10Gb when I get onto it when Vodafone deal over

Backup my pictures and videos to two clouds so be lashing into the data

long_b · 09-08-2019 3:05pm

Anyone know how much of this 80GB is usable roaming in the EU?

No change to before, depends on your plan.

Hego25 · 13-08-2019 1:49pm

With the 'No Limits Data' change would it be possible to terminate your contract for free due to change in terms?

This is it · 13-08-2019 1:55pm

I'm on a €20 a month deal but the 12 months is almost up, is the €14.99 still available? Didn't see it on the site.

flexcon · 13-08-2019 1:57pm

Dam

the new sim only plans have 50GB roaming data for €14.99 if existing Eir broadband customer.

That's insane. I'm sure at this stage one of the cheapest plans in europe, especially since it's contract free?

No i'm in a 24 month contract on the €54.99 plan. I would like to change to the 30 day one for €19.99 if I can get out of this contract.

I'm currently on this €14.99 30 day rolling contract which is due to go into month 7 in a forthnights time. It then jumps up to €29.99 per month.

Can someone advise how I cancel this now prior to entering the higher cost band or what number I should ring as very little info is available on the Eir website, and secondly, I generally use my mobile just for calls and data only. Would the €15 lycamobile sim only be the one for me?

Thanks.

The offer is still there so perhaps try to switch to another provider as PAUG and sign back up as a new customer.

No need, I was on 30-day rolling contract with promo price for 6 months, went into the 7th month and called 1905 I think it was (maybe 1901) and was switched onto a new promotion price straight away. Have about 4 or 5 weeks left on it atm and I will be doing the same

26-09-2019 10:24am

Worth noting the price has increased to 19.99 for 6 months then 29.99 after 6 for non eir broadband or phone customers . I was signed back up to the 14.99 In June and the promotion came off the account early for some reason, they didn't have the 14.99 offer when I noticed recently and called up. I got credited for the increase but was only offered the 19.99 for the next 6 months

Def_IRL · 26-09-2019 2:05pm

Its a 30 day rolling contract - so just ring them and ask to be put onto the newer tariff.
I keep an eye on their rates and keep doing this, and all but once in circa 4 years have I had an issue doing so.
It's at €19.99 p.m at the moment, but they tend to drop it back to €14.99 ever other month or so.
Just keep an eye on it and just ring them again in a month or so and you might get it down again from the current €19.99 tariff to €14.99 if offered again soon... but I suspect they will offer it again soon.

I only had a refusal once, after the 30 days with regards putting me on a newer lower advertised tariffs, so I just asked to be put onto the retention team and they honoured the new tariff again no problem on the 30 day rolling contract basis.

irelandspurs · 03-10-2019 9:59am

Back down to €14.99 a month just rang to try get it at that price but was refused

Moyglish · 03-10-2019 11:24am

Online chat told you you need to pay a €9.99 one time activation fee to get this deal, but I don't see any mention of it on the site. Can anyone clarify please? Thanks!

My contract ended a couple of weeks ago so I rang to sign up to the 14.99 a month deal and was refused also. The agent kept trying to push the 19.99 deal.

A Law · 04-10-2019 6:20pm

Just off the phone to the 1800 sales team. Already have the 12 month 15€ deal since april. Was able to add two more numbers to my account so have one of my wife and one hopefully to put in Mifi dongle. Half price for them runs until October 2020.

DopeTech · 04-10-2019 8:04pm

While this is a good deal I have to say I'm disappointed with Eir's data speeds/signal. From what I remember it was far better back in the days of Meteor. Since switching to eir I've noticed many blackspots that 3 and Vodafone do not have.

unkel · 04-10-2019 8:37pm

They refused to extend my 6 month deal for €14.99, and there is no chance I will pay €30 per month. So I left for Virginmedia again. 5 months everything unlimited for €5 per month. Yes really. At the end I'll switch to Eir again

If it was just myself, I wouldn't bother with all this switching, but I pay data for myself and for my 3 kids. So it adds up.

I switched to this a few months ago, from an Eir business account. Since I switched the phone/coverage has gone to pot. I can be showing 3bars of 4g and still be waiting 20sec + for a webpage to open. My WiFi calling doesn’t show on my phone until I switch on airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn it off.
I am also constantly getting voicemails when I have the phone sitting beside me showing full coverage.
But it should all be the same coverage, shouldn’t it?

I went with Tesco mobile...better speeds. Just switch to tanother provider and it cancels eir auomatically.

It should be the same yes but God knows what throttling etc they could be up to.

The Ayatolla · 08-10-2019 7:33pm

Yeah but you can keep signing up and back and forth again and again. I'm on my third cycle of the Virgin deals.

navannoel · 08-10-2019 8:37pm

Rang Eir today, told them I was not happy with my current deal, out of contract after 18 months was €101 after offer ended, for sim only, house phone and broadband. Told the I wish to give 30 days notice to quit.
Passed me to retention team, got following deal all in €59.97 for 12 months but sim only shall increase to €19.99 after month 6. Said I should ring them at month 7 to see what deals are on.:)

DopeTech · 15-10-2019 6:14pm

I'm on the onebigswitch deal where I got mobile and broadband. As they are bundled I pay €9.99 per month for phone and €34.99 per month for broadband. Am I correct when I say I can cancel the mobile now without penalty and continue the broadband for €34.99 per month for the remainder of the 12 months? I never received the t&C's as they got my email wrong so I can't check my own. I'm just not sure if by bundling them did I make my mobile plan a 12 month contract too?

Looking at switching to GoMo's introductory offer.

How do you get 5 months for €5 per month from Virgin media?

I see €15 or €25 per month on their website.
