Can you go into an Eir shop and get this deal?

No. Eir shops are giving 6 months at 14.99 on a 30 day rolling contract.

glic83 · 22-04-2019 8:58pm

So some are having success as an existing eir simo customer getting this offer for 12 months others are only being offered 6 months. Might chance my arm tomorrow my current half price offer has just ended, now back up to 30 euro pm.

Well, I hope ye don't get Anton at Eir. He's under the impression that it's only for people porting over from another provider. They'd really need to tell their employees what their offers are and who they apply to.

What info do you need to port over the phone?

I got the offer, but how do I get the free eir sports pack that lasts until the end of July?

How long does this offer run for does anyone know? I'm tied to Vodafone for another few months but would nearly buy myself out of it - no wifi calling on my S9+ and very poor signal generally lately.

10th may according to t&c.

From the t&c:

Just off the phone with the loyalty team. The person I spoke to wouldn't budge on giving me the full 12 months, best she could give me was 6 months. She said the 12 months only applied to customer who were signing up for the first time.

Is that stated anywhere in the terms & conditions? as I couldn't find it on the T&C's I downloaded from the OBS website

I argued that with them as well but she just kept saying "my supervisor said...". She then told me it was not possible to move an existing eir customer to that package for 12 months.

I wasn't in the mood for argument so I took the 6 months and will call back then to see if I can get another deal

You need the red eir sports app and it will not work until after midnight on the day you switch as that is when the servers refresh.

4real · 23-04-2019 4:13pm

just signed up this morning ringing number in OP, signed up straight away in 15 mins

sdraobs · 23-04-2019 4:51pm

I signed up last week in shop. they confirmed that my phone number would port across to my new eir sim that day. It didnt. I spent an hour on chat with Eir a couple of days later yo port it over and ultimately they needed to send code to my old sim. Of course by that stage my old sim service was over. So i couldnt bring over my phone number. So had to call eir and cancel the service. which was another 30 min delay.

So more than an hour and approx 20euro wasted.

You made the mistake of trying to sign up in a shop. They can't do it.

If the guy in the shop had told me about this issue, it wouldnt have been a problem.

I wanted to do it in a shop so i dont have to wait for a sim card in the post and risk an interupted service. And its better to deal with a face rather than online which is ultimately just a completed form.

You might save 5 euro transferring over but its a big risk. i dont even know if Three mobile have kept my phone number. i need to go into them tomorrow and beg them to take me back.

bromley52 · 23-04-2019 6:23pm

What I did.
1. Rang 1800303719 and signed up on a Tuesday.
2. SIM arrived Friday morning after getting Nightline delivery notification on Thursday.
3. Called to local eir store on Saturday and they switched my Vodafone PAUG number.

The time from which the eir store started the switch to being on eir was about 10-15min.

Now rather than paying €20 every 28days (€21.40/30days),
I'm paying €15 every 30days and not having to worry about topping up.
As an extra I now have more data, WiFi calling world wide and eir sports mobile which will hopefully will last beyond July.

What was the advantage of going to the store to port if you had the sim?

It was a bank holiday weekend and it was not possible to port over the phone until today. The eir store was across the way from where I was doing my shopping.

My partner and I got 12 months once we stuck our heels in.

Existing customers. You just need to be polite, but firm. We wouldn't take no for an answer and just politely said we'll cancel on the spot... boom, 12 months

did you get confirmation email and also a text about the sim delivery?
i didnt get either yet and signed up yesterday

gar · 24-04-2019 12:16pm

Just did it but only got the 6 months.
Will call again in 6 months.
got put around the houses about 4 times before getting to 'right' department.

bill cut in half so worth the exercise

I just checked there. I ordered on a Tuesday, got email and text from Nightline on Thursday and it was delivered on Friday morning.

_Kaiser_ · 24-04-2019 1:03pm

I'm trying to decide if it's worth my while doing this..

Pros
- cheaper monthly bill (9.99 as an existing broadband customer vs 60 with Vodafone currently)
- double data
- WiFi calling
- 30 day rolling contract
- signal is no better with Vodafone anyway in my experience

Cons
- early cancellation charge with Vodafone is just under 300
- It's eir. As long as nothing goes wrong it's grand, but..

Very tempted to do it all the same. Am I mad?

if you do the math yes it's worth your while
10 x 12 = 120 per year
60 x 12 = 720 per year

120 + 300 fee = 420 per year v 720 saving you 300 overall.

Yea, that plus the higher data allowance, WiFi calling and not being tied to a long term contract.

Will switch over next week when the Vodafone month resets then I think

Ask eir would they cover any of the contract breakage cost?
If switching broadband they give €200 towards contract breakage.
There is a slim chance of then doing it but it's worth a shot.

How long is left on your vodafone contact? You might be better off just waiting on your vodafone contact to end if it's less than 6 months.

Yep but this offer will have expired by then and the regular price is what.. 30 quid?

fixXxer · 24-04-2019 5:01pm

It runs until June, assuming they dont pull the plug on it sooner, so you'd be better off letting your Vodafone contract run down to save you a month or two on that Leaving Early fee.

Something that might be worth considering is asking Vodafone if it's possible to keep the contract, but change the number on the contract (Some random number that they can assign you). Then your number can be moved to Vodafone PAYG, and then you can switch to Eir. Keep the Vodafone contract and let it run its course (not having to pay it all up front)

Does it? I thought someone above quoted mid may for the end of this offer? (on phone so multi quoting is a pain)

Apoligies, that's the EIR sport expiration date.

The actual offer life time is this: This offer is only available from 08/04/19 until
10/05/2019.

10 May deadline for this offer. The deal accquired in actual shops reverts to €29 in June I believe.

I switched myself this week (got my sim today). The girl on the phone said all existing eir sports channels will be honored for the duration of the contract, regardless if Eir lose the BT channels as reported in the press.

Decided to give this a try. The broadband and mobile sim only. Given the saving compared to virgin I thought I'd risk their service. So i finished up the call. And then received a text saying my install was scheduled for the morning despite specifically requesting an afternoon install. Hope this is the only hiccup. Otherwise I'll be availing of the cooling off period.

I got a call-back after a couple of days. Person I was talking to was clueless. I'm under contract at the moment (for another month or so), so was asking could I terminate existing contract and take the onebigswitch.ie offer for 14.99 for the year. Think offer expires on 10th May - she first told me it doesn't expire til end of July, but then said it could end any day. Then told me my contract ended 4 months ago, when it didn't. In the end advised me to contact the loyalty team. Tried them this morning but had to give up after 10 mins hanging on the phone.

So I missed a call from them today, then they text me to say I can avail of self install and the broadband can be sent today. If I agree to this does the broadband contract begin once I receive the modem? I originally scheduled in a "technician" visit for the end of the month as I'm still finishing up my notice with virgin media.
