So what's the weekly cost then? And is it the actual paper being delivered to your house?

You are playing a blinder in this thread...

The FIRST bullet point on the promotional page says it is a 16GB iPad mini 2...

The Independent also has a deal on for a digital subscription. €160 for a 12 month contract paid up front, and you get a Samsung Tab 4 7".
I can't post a URL because I'm a new user (which I'm not, I'm just not a FREQUENT user), but you can look it up (or someone else can post the link?).

I signed up, €21.67 (or something) every month for 18 months.

14 days to cancel, after 14 days they will send out the iPad mini 2 within 10 working days.

As I buy the physical Sunday Times every week, €3, I said feck it.

This is for the sunday times.

You can get either, there's daily Irish News plus the Sunday Ireland edition

Both UK and Ireland editions can sit in Newstand and you can open either

If you download the Ireland edition App you get the Ireland edition

(There's a specific App for the Ireland edition , the Scottish section appears in the UK version)

The Times could do with providing more details, no doubt.

Chrisht. I'm sorry I ever started this thread.

tramoreman77 · 26-11-2015 6:07pm

But a good one I'm looking forward to my iPad mini!!!

Cazale · 28-11-2015 6:47pm

Think I'm going to cancel before the trial is up. The content is good but there is not enough of it to justify the price even with the iPad gift. One update a day in the morning isn't sufficient for this news junkie. Thanks to the op for the heads up though.

pinkstars · 28-11-2015 7:17pm

Really? I think that's justified I also kind of feel the same.

Won't get it till the week of Christmas. Ordered mine two weeks ago so it'll be shipped off by now.

What's to stop someone from signing up then receiving the iPad then cancelling the DD??? I'm not condoning this I'm just wondering why they'd risk this

Because you've signed a contract and will still owe them the money regardless. Someone like Newscorp would report to private credit reference agencies, so you'd find yourself unable to get mobile contracts etc.

ronanc1000 · 07-12-2015 10:51pm

Am I the only one that doesn't see any bargain with this offer!? Definitely in the iPad side of things there to no bargain.

The Sunday Times physical edition (which I buy every single week) is €3. The daily one is about €2.

The sites are behind a paywall.

I think it's alright myself.

It's a great bargain alright, I have a subscription using a student email but when that's exhausted I'd happily pay the regular price.

No, the daily edition was 90c to very recently might be €1 now

Best value print paper in Ireland, the indo and Irish times spend their time cogging articles from it, often weeks later

ballymag · 08-12-2015 11:26am

We signed up for this when we spotted it on this thread - so thanks for the heads up! I needed a tablet for Christmas for my son - not that I had any intention of getting him an iPAD but as we already buy the papers on Saturday and Sunday (spending 5.50 weekly) I reasoned that if we switched to the online version we wouldn't really be out of pocket. In addition we now get the paper 7 days a week. Only drawback so far is I still prefer a physical paper in my hand rather than a digital version. Other than that have been very impressed with the Times app - its easy to read and I can save any articles I like for future reference!

Just hope the iPAD mini comes in time for Christmas!!!

ActingDanClark · 08-12-2015 11:43am

I signed up for a recent free trial, but found I missed the physical paper on Sunday. If I'd been happy with the on line version, then at e5 PW this is good value

VeVeX · 08-12-2015 12:05pm

Mine just arrived, didn't think it would be branded on the back.

Wonder if my son will ask why Santa's giving Sunday Times ipads for Christmas.

quick question for people there.

I am considering taking up this offer. however I do not like anything apple. can I use the subscription on an android device and will I be limited to only one android device.

thanks,

Sign up to the €1 trial. That'll get you a month. I didn't like it though on Android. The app seemed pretty basic and the news seemed UK centric. The iPad app might be better. I've no idea about that.
You can unsubscribe within the first 14 days and it'll only have cost you a euro if you don't like it. It's a bit of hassle to unsubscribe (ringing and going through menus and hold music) but only takes 10 mins.

Can't understand the problem people are having with the branding.
Nothing a lick of paint wouldn't sort out

You can view it on any device with an Internet connection via their website. The iPad app is quite polished compared to the iPhone version, I'm not sure if there are different versions for android phones & tablets.
I don't think there is a device limit. I have 5 different devices using it with no issues.
I'm happy with it for the football coverage & Sunday Times, you can view Premier League goals almost immediately after they are scored, very handy on Saturdays or when you are not in front of a tv.

What way does it work with Sunday times on android.. Is it an app on android

Also what's the Irish independent one like on android

The Irish times app is fine on an android phone, the site is better for a tablet.
The times is great on both phone and tablet IMO.

Anyone who signed up the weekend this thread started should have their iPad by next Friday. T&C's state it will be delivered within 10 working days after your 14 day cooling off period has expired.
