    I called the Wicklow branch. For anyone that's interested, they can't /won't take credit card orders, so you have to visit the shop. They're open from 10am-6pm and they have plenty of stock.

    I was talking to a guy in the Bray shop, he said there weren't any other participating shops in the Dublin area anyway.

    I'm in the city centre tomorrow, so I'm going to get the DART out and pick up a Desire.

    Did anyone also buy a memory card for it? Or would you be better off getting that online?

    So what would be the cheapest way possible of getting this ?

    18Month Contract @ €20 ?

    Iv already got an iPhone on Vodafone. is it possible to take out the contract and then cancel it saying you have poor reception, unlock the phone and keeping it ?

    Hypothetical of course ;)

    Yes. Otherwise you'd get it for €25 for one months bill and you think they'd let you keep it for that price? Stick to the iPhone mate!

    Feck it got my one for €140 on meteor on €30 a month online smart plan (usually €35 in store) with 12 months contract. This is good deal.

    The other half was about to sign contract sent out for my plan but will head to Bray tomorrow and get this. She will have to pay €35 per month for same plan as me but free phone.

    Great BA.

    I plan on getting the dart out tomorrow to bray tomorrow too.
    The best way to do it is to go for the e-mobile €19 a month for 12 months = €228. Is that correct?

    Ok, so have I got this right?

    The following (copied from Emobile website): 100 any network minutes & 100 any network texts every month. Plus unlimited free calls to landlines.

    Plus choice of one of the phones mentioned above (at no extra cost) for entering into a billpay agreement for €19 for 12 months or €14 for 18 months.

    But only at one of the shops listed above?

    Seems almost too good to be true - that's why I wanted to clarify as this thread's become a bit waffley. If so, will be hitting one of those shops very soon.

    Standard photo id (passport, driving licence), proof of address from the last 3 months (utility bill, etc.) and your bank details (sort code and account number).

    On Android I use Cabbage for web texts. Emobile is an option that's available :-)

    K2 also offers emobile, however I had to stop using it as it wouldn't work for me after the last update.

    Whats emobiles coverage like? Any use?

    I think emobile uses meteor coverage so switching to emobile wont make a difference to your coverage if thats the reason why you want to switch from meteor.

    could this be in relation to announcements of all the duel core phones coming out, would love a desire... but a 18 month contract with a possibly severly underpowered phone in 6months isnt appealing

    This is correct the choice of phone on E-mobile is the Desire/GalaxyS or the non smartphone Sony Vivas which has the best camera but no android.

    Not sure about emoblie but im far from happy with Meteor.
    Im in Monasterevin, in my house/garden coverage is fine, the few times my wife took my phone to work it has no coverage at all, she works less than 500 meters away.
    When i head out the road to rathangan or portarlington i get no coverage at all, both towns are 6 or so miles away,Portaloise coverage drops to 1 single bar.
    Going the other dierction to Kildare town,Newbridge etc coverage is fine.

    Emobile uses Meteor network.

    thats a €35 per month deal for 12 months or €30 for 18 month deal. Confirmed this with the guy in the shop when calling about this as this is the offer i want.

    As other posters advised i also use Cabbage to use webtext, great app.

    That plan costs €35 and its for new connections only so you would have to take out a 2nd number on your account to avail of this deal

    Thanks for the reply guys, do you know if theres a deal that gets me free meteor texts and calls, some minutes (don't even care bout texts to other networks) and maybe still 1GB of data for under €25?Cause that would be what I'd be interested in.

    Ah... I had my eye on that deal on the Meteor website (https://phones.meteor.ie/bp/choose_a_plan) and it was €30 per month on the site.... but that €5/month discount must be if you buy online, which doesn't apply if you buy it in Bray. Is this right?

    I'm on Meteor Pay As You Go at the minute, can I not get a phone on Meteor Bill Pay and keep my number??
