Too much conflicting information on this offer so I have set up a thread in the talk to meteor forum. Hopefully we will be better informed tomorrow.

They replied but it doesn't clear anything up at all.

here you have clarification

But what does that clarify? It doesn't mention how long you will get the discount for or data roaming or if it's available in all stores or only selected ones.

I was told in store that it included eu data roaming, Emma from talk to meteor tells me it doesn't. One person was told the deal is for life, another told its only the first month. Emma from meteor dodged the question. And whether it should be available nationwide or just selected stores should be information that a "Talk to meteor" forum can answer. Seems not.

They really don't do themselves any favours with customer support like that.

Went back to one of the meteor shops today that had said there was no such 30 euro simplicity deal for 20 untill the end of march,the guy that i had dealt with wasnt there so was talking to another employer.Low and behold as a couple of OP,s Lucas Hood Andthephantomsmask had mentioned its displayed on the lcd display the lcd display was 9ft away from us showing the deal on display,got the deal and ported in 3 hours.

I'm with eir mobile, are they considered a different network, so I'd be able to port to meteor or are they all the one?

Separate networks.

Just called into the shop there, and was told you cannot port from eir to meteor.

My bad! That's news to me.

Just thought would i be right in saying that you will need a sim free phone or that you are able to unlock your eir phone to the meteor network .

I dropped into a store to enquire about this offer, and seen a poster advertising EirMobile Advantage Mobile, Unlimited Sim Only 30 day rolling contract,
Offers unlimited landline/mobile calls,
Unlimited any network texts,
15gb of national data,
1500 minutes to the uk,
1500 roaming minutes (uk,eu & USA)
1gb of roaming data (U.K.,eu & usa)
All for €20 ex Vat (was €30 ex vat)
It's a business plan but I was informed no vat no. is required.
Seems like a good offer.

Anyone else went for this ?

No, but they are seen as two different networks. Definitely with some phones they are locked to one and sims from the other cannot be used in them. Perhaps iPhones are different?

This isn't true.

I've bought meteor phones for emobile sims and no issue whatsoever. Also meteor customers can call emobile as part of bundle allowance in my experience.

Do u really think they know after the last question we asked,

I was just wondering would the answer be the same,anyway imagine going into an electrical parts supply shop looking for a component that will be fitted in your house and all the staff came back with differant advise acting like headless chickens..

I just went onto the meteor website on the chat thing there i asked if your with eir can you port to meteor and go on to a simplicity plan assuming thats what you were looking to do.They said yes that you need to buy a meteor sim card and they will help you to port over ....

Yea, they would port you over to meteor from eir but I doubt you'd be eligible to avail of the €20 offer though as it's designed to poach new customers. I am tempted to port over to some other network and then port back to meteor though...

Honestly ppl,was with meteor for 7 plus yrs,found them pleasant,and fairly savvy,but eir are different ,worst,most inept customer care I've ever had the misfortune to deal with,,,,eh,I'm gone from eir over 6 months,but still receive bills, couldn't find a beer in a bar,that mob.

How do Meteor rate against Vodafone in your opinion?

I'm thinking of
1) 4g speeds (Dublin suburbs)
2) customer service / knowledge / ability to troubleshoot and fix issues
3) network coverage in general across Ireland

To be honest I've just moved to Vodafone and judging by my personal experience I really don't rate them as highly as I'd thought going by other opinions in general.

In fact I'm quite disappointed with Vodafone already in less than a week being with them! Can anyone say the same about Meteor?

I used to be with Meteor in the 3g days and found them excellent to deal with. But things move fast. What about now since the Eir takeover?

Think their still a separate company, even though owned by eir,from my experience, meteor customer care were tops, compared to the nightmarish EIR

Should have read, customer care were good

Just switched today in Blanch. Took about 5mins.

So might be able to do tomorrow to?

I'd say so. The T and Cs at the bottom said offer finishes 31st March or until stocks last.

Im currently on three unlimited for 30 per month
.. Holidaying in France in July so the euro roaming allowance might be useful

It doesn't include eu roaming.

Great deal especially the fact it's for life .
