Whats phone number to cancel subscription folks plz

IRE60 · 24-05-2019 7:20pm

I wouldnt be at all surprised if, when the 'closure' happens that they revert to pre-IRE edition and ship in/print here the UK edition sans Irish content. They sold circa 2,800 copies before the rebranding which would net them in or around 800k p.a - nobody wants to leave that on the table.

Anyway, 800k would be enough to cover redundancies!!!!!

Yet another service that lets you sign up online but does not let you cancel online. There should be a law that states that if a company lets you sign up online then it must let you cancel online.

I cancelled this morning and it took nearly 20minutes to cancel , really annoying to have to explain over and over that the content just isn’t what you want and you just want to cancel , got really sulky towards the end and kept saying its just €5 and are you certain you want to cancel , anyway you should be able to cancel online

torrevieja · 30-05-2019 10:55pm

I rang Tuesday and there was a bit of let’s have @ look etc anyway they offered me two offers two months free or 6 months half price

dulpit · 31-05-2019 1:10pm

Just in process of cancelling now. Had to get cranky to tell them I don't want to go through why I want to cancel, I told them it's because they are closing their print edition and letting most of their staff go, he was telling me there's a 30 day consultation process and they will then announce what they have planned. I said no thanks, just cancel, he got the message and put me on hold while everything loads.:rolleyes:

I re-signed up with payment coming from my three phone credit.

How do you do this? Do you have to phone and cancel first?

Oh they just cancelled, it finished for me about a week later based on when my payment date was. I was in a rolling monthly contract though...

thomond2006 · 14-06-2019 3:20pm

I rang to cancel, should I expect to be on hold for a long time?

They try to give you the runaround with offers/etc. If you just get firm and tell them you want to cancel and don't want any offers, you'll be on hold for 3-4 minutes while they process (or at least that's what I had to go through).

Luckycharms_74 · 02-08-2019 9:04am

I have been a long time subscriber since the iPad / boss offers.
I was on a half price rate until I notice this month was charged the full price.
I rang up and got a nice person on the phone who switched me to the €5 a month offer even though I was in contract until end November 18 and will get pro rats refund for the full monthly charge in August

For €5 it’s worth it but not at full price
The Irish section has been decimated recently. Today it has 7 articles. I know the office has been downgraded but still, I don’t want to have to go back to the crappy independent for my news

sweetie · 02-08-2019 10:00am

anyone manage to get this working on a Fire HD 8? I sideloaded play store but when I open the app and login it tells me i'm not subscribed! Works fine on an old ipad mini but that's banjaxed.

Careful - you might have downloaded the UK version?

That's an understatement. They fired everybody and hired (or re-hired) 3 to pump out as many articles as possible.

I did this, but now I can't access the online edition. It appears this is only valid for Android app on phone/tablet.

Talked to customer services but they can do nothing saying my account was with Google.

torrevieja · 26-08-2019 10:27am

Hi folks do u have the Irish 01 contact number please to cancel do I have the ring up or can I do it online

whiterebel · 12-10-2019 3:38pm

Beware of these chancers. I rang on Friday to cancel. it gets to the last stage, and then "Due to circumstances beyond their control" they can't take a call. I sent a message via their website to say I was cancelling and advising the bank to accept no more charges. Arrogant b*tch then told me I had to cancel by calling, despite the fact its not working, and if I cancel the direct debit they will continue to bill me for it. Told them it was their problem and to get on with it. Tried again to call today, and sill the same, can't take calls. Joke of an outfit.

Had the same problem two weeks ago. Went on to Live Chat and told them I couldn't get through on the phone and they processed the cancellation through Live Chat. Might be worth trying Live Chat again as it seems to be agent dependent?

Fann Linn · 12-10-2019 10:24pm

I rang last month to cancel and got through to a nice lad who gave me the next four months for €2.50 pm.

For the price of a coffee I won't complain.

A fiver doesn't exactly break the bank for some decent reading, especially on a Sunday. I mean, €1.25 a week to support journalism. You wouldn't get a copy of the manky Daily Star for one day for that price.

torrevieja · 13-10-2019 1:32am

the Irish Content has diminished to be honest :mad:

Agreed. I had only just signed up to the Irish Times offer on this thread and was going to ditch The Times instead. When I went to cancel the offer was made.

_Whimsical_ · 13-10-2019 2:11pm

Does anyone else have massive problems with the Android paper app?
I find on articles where you "turn the page" the bottom lines of print are cut off so it's impossible to coherently read an article. It's gotten so annoying that I'm only thinking of canceling but also considering asking for my money back.

Glebee · 13-10-2019 3:08pm

Works fine on my android tablets. For €5 a month i cant fault the deal. Ok the irish content has decreased over the past while but to get 3 to 4 sunday papers as well as daily its a deal. Its also a pity that the tablet app format is copied on the mobile phone version. Tablet reading experience is great.

That's really strange. There are two good,expensive Samsung tabs in my house and both have the same issue where bottom sentences are clipped off.

I want to purchase an item on the Global Ratuken Market and then ship the item to Australia. If anybody knows an issue with this , please let me know.

Also , am i correct in believing i can ship a product to Ireland from Japan without paying any import charges??

Mountjoy Mugger · 12-11-2019 5:25pm

No; unless it's worth less than €25 or so.

I'm not familiar with AUS regulations re importation of Ratukens.
But .. goods from Japan will be subject to VAT, an AnPost handling fee and possibly excise duty.
Excise duty applies over a certain value of goods. VAT is calculated on value of goods plus delivery charges.

I thought the EU had a trade deal agreement with Japan since a few years ago?

I recently bought jeans from Japan and didn't pay anything when they were delivered by anpost.

A similar trade deal was done with Canada i believe.

The reason i ask is because sometimes you can get lucky and i don't want to chance my luck again!

anyone been able to use the Odeon 2 for 1 offer recently? its a major perk of this sub and dont think its worked in a couple of months.

digitaldr · 18-01-2020 6:25pm

Just tried booking a few minutes ago - not working and link from the Irish Times+ page for online booking goes to odeon.co.uk

Glebee · 18-01-2020 8:54pm

It has not worked for a long time.

gunnerfitzy · 19-01-2020 5:34pm

Rakuten TV vouchers no longer work for Ireland accounts. Was a nice perk when they worked.

Glebee · 19-01-2020 6:21pm

Its still only €5 a month so is a great deal. Irish daily content has defintly reduced a lot but the saturday and sunday editions are a great read in fairness. Love sitting down sunday to read through when house gets quite.

Ah... I took another look and I hadn't realised there was a seperate Times membership page for ROI. I was using the UK site and although able to log in and get a code, the code would not work for ROI Rakuten TV accounts.

All good now. Thanks for letting me know it was indeed working.

gaillimh · 03-06-2020 7:43am

I see this €5 offer is still going. I used to have the Sunday Times iPad app a few years back where you could download the full epaper on a Sunday morning but they disbanded that app.
Just wondering if anyone could answer some things for me?
In the iPad app - can you view the epaper for previous weeks or can you just view the current edition?
Do you have full access to all articles on Sundaytimes.co.uk - for example if you click on a link to an older article from a google search will your sub allow access to this regardless of when the article was created?

Cheers

IRE60 · 03-06-2020 8:37am

past six days of 'editions' which I mean the articles are structured into editions. But you do have access to their archive - if you know specifically what you are looking for
