    do you not have to wait 30 days before to you can change plan again?

    No, I did it yesterday. I was previously on an older plan which was free texts, free calls to meteor and 250MB data for a €20 topup.

    Yes. I got it on Friday. Text "20unlimited" to 50104. You should get text saying top-up with €20.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,910 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Thanks all! I'm on meteor years and never had any issues, usually top up by 20 each month for free meteor calls & texts, any network texts and 150mbs of internet. the other network calls have been killing me lately so just changed my plan to any network calls and texts, no internet, for 20 a month.

    Saw this thread, sent that text and now I have the same deal but with 15GB's as well. I was on the verge of changing network an all. Cheers!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,096 ✭✭✭andrew1977


    Its a hell of a deal alright, possibly the best around for value ?

    I signed up to it also, a bit of dealing to and fro with the meteor online reps/customer service before it finally got sorted and they confirmed I got the offer even as existing customer. I was paying them 30 euro a month for the same package, now reduced to 20.
    Due to top up in a few weeks, so hopefully all goes to plan when I do top up.

    I cant fault Meteor really, switched them to them 18 months ago from Vodafone and only had a couple of data outage issues, but otherwise superb value and service.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,298 ✭✭✭laoisfan


    I was with Three until about 3 weeks ago. I was able to cancel my contract due to their price increase & get the phone unlocked (8 months into a 24 month contract). Three coverage lately was the pits. Decided to go prepay and ported back to Meteor. I've have nearly full 4G anywhere I've been and generally between 3G or 4G on the train. Was on the €30 deal but switched to this €20 when I saw post by andrew1977 (thanks again).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,014 ✭✭✭castle2012


    It's very hard to use the data you get so much as all the social networks are the added bonus, great deal

    Just topped up and and got the deal straight away. Didn't realise they take the 20 off you but since everything is included, no big deal.

    Are landlines included in the calls? I'm assuming not

    They are. It's unlimited nation mobile and landline calls

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,473 ✭✭✭vickers209


    took the gamble and switched from free meteor to meteor calls and texts to new Simplicity plan for €20 in order to activate the all unlimited plan but

    when I signed up to the €20 unlimited calls and texts plan it deducted €20 credit straight away.

    Then I text 20unlimited and got text to say I am in but need to top up by another €20 to activate it 😭

    Thanks for choosing Simply Unlimited Any Network Mins + Texts and 15GB Data 20e. To get started you will need to have 20 euro credit. Remember to wait for a confirmation text to let you know your offer is active before you start to use. Your offer will automatically renew every 30 days

    text I get when text offer
    You are currently opted in to Simply Unlimited Any Net Mins + Texts + 15GB Data 20e 4G, you need to top up to avail of this value offer. See meteor.ie for full details

    and my dashboard says only calls and texts


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,154 ✭✭✭dinneenp


    was on €20 calls and data.
    Phoned up yesterday, colleague said he could switch me to €20 calls, data & texts.
    topped up €30.
    today- still not active. phoned up and they activated it but on €30pm
    Phoned back- was told 20 unlimited is for new customers only, told them others on Meteor got the plan & I was told I'd get it. Sorry, no we can't.
    So back on old plan now! Told her that for 5 years loyalty I get a worse offer than a new customer & that I'd be leaving (I won't).
    Annoying start to the day. And if their App wan't soooooooooo CRAP I'd just use that for texts. (not that I send many but it'd be handy to have them free).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,593 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    Phoned? Why not just text like others have done?

    I did text but it didn't appear to become active so then I phoned up to check.
    So if I text it should work?

    Great news, at least that means the offer is around for a while. You are right though, if I didn't already know what I have to do to sign up that page would have me completely confused. It's all over the place.

    Worked perfectly for myself via chat online. Thanks OP!
    Sim on way through the post. Handy if it is inconvenient to get to store or to do it over the phone.
    Once chat began, I stated that I wanted to switch to Meteor. 20 euro offer was suggested by agent straight away.

    That shows it's 30 for 15GBs and unlimited calls and texts where as if you text 20unlimited instead of 30unlimited, you get the same deal for cheaper. Must either be a mistake or secret option for new customers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,292 ✭✭✭enviro


    Just below that offer it gives the details for the 20 offer in a different font.


  • Registered Users Posts: 292 ✭✭Interesting101


    Lads...does free calls on this include numbers like Sky etc or do you need extra credit for that?

    Missed that thanks, glad it works for existing customers as well even if they don't mention it. For any existing customers, worked a treat for me yesterday just texting them and topped up by 20.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,851 ✭✭✭Ten Pin

    Only includes calls to national landlines and mobiles, calls to numbers like 1890, 1850, 0818, 076 etc are charged at the standard rate which is 35cent per minute.
    For landline alternatives to those numbers there's a site that might help:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,593 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    Same as Tesco etc

    In addition be aware that checking your voicemail box are an additional 15c on these Simplicity plans.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,473 ✭✭✭vickers209


    So I rang an agent and they didn't know about the offer and explained she reapplied the credit to my account and it was automatically deducted straight away and got a text to say I was on plan

    but when I text offer to 50104 it says I'm on no offer?

    checked the dashboard on app and it says I am on the plan

    not sure what to think now will leave for a bit and text again later

    How hard is it to follow the instructions to get this offer!

    1 text if you're on a simplicity plan. Two if you're not.


  • Registered Users Posts: 168 ✭✭AdamB


    I got the last simpack of this offer in my local store yesterday, so I'd hurry if you're interested in this deal as I can't see stocks lasting much longer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,593 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    I think you'll find this offer won't just disappear if they are also giving it to existing customers. Its only a sim at end of it all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,014 ✭✭✭castle2012


    According to there terms and conditions it's for April or while stocks last , just another note the April porting deal can be terminated at any time. And the promo for march has no clause , it seems to be for life .

    family member called earlier to ask me to top them up. I suggested changing to the 20unlimited so I did send the text and heres the gas bit: he had 29 euro credit on the phone as a buffer and I took the 20 euro credit for the month of the new plan.... Anyways, all set up but just be warned if you have the credit on your phone, it could take it straight away to activate the plan.

    Read back over the thread. Myself and others used the text and website. It's as easy as typing this message.

    No idea why people are ringing them tbh.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Step 1. Switch to simplicity plan if not on one already. I did this on the website. Click of a button.

    Step 2. Text 20unlimited to 50104.

    Ignore step 1 if already on simplicity plan.

    Total time. 2-3 minutes.
