Some good information in this thread for anybody thinking of switching to Eir.

My experience is that the coverage is noticeably better that the Three network, although not as good as Vodafone.
But if anything goes wrong and you need to deal with customer service then watch out!
I've already taken a case to ComReg this year and am about to start a second one to get small problems resolved. It's truly difficult to convey how inept this company is.

BUT I have still rejoined Eir because this deal is so good

Indeed, my experience with them over the years (as eircom/emobile/meteor/eir) is that the product itself is actually pretty good and competitively priced and specced for what you get.

But their billing/support/back office operations are abysmal! I too have had multiple comreg cases to resolve simple problems.

So, if it all works you'll have no problem and be happy. If anything goes wrong though.....

Not worth it if u have to deal with what they call " customer care"

Can you just sign up for this offer online?

Much less chance of any mistakes happening etc. if you can just do it all yourself!

I've read every post on this thread so I know my frustration is shared - but I am just wondering if anybody actually has the trick for getting through to customer service because i am at the end of my tether trying to get through to them. I'm an Eir customer since 2012 (Meteor back then) and I want to change my plan to SIM only - I'm out of contract since last December. No real issues with service or coverage where I am - I just don't want to be paying through the nose every month when I am out of contract and not interested in changing my phone any time soon. Why should/would I pay 60 quid a month where I can get a better package on sim only plan for 15 quid?

I went into a store months back to see how to go about changing, I was told to call online. I was obviously very naive in thinking that someone in a store could assist and I would rather speak with a human. Unfortunately the chap in store gave me a number for new sales and not the loyalty team - 30 minutes of my life wasted.

Tried to locate the loyalty number - contacted webchat - wasted 20 minutes providing them with all the information bar what I had for my breakfast that morning - only to be given a number for the loyalty team.

Tried ringing that number umpteen times - at least 5 times over the last month. 1800303452 is the number I was given. After 30 minutes on hold with that god awful music, I give up.

This morning I was determined - rang 1800 303453 - and call was picked up after about 34 minutes. Girl on phone asked for my account number (which I don't have because for whatever reason, I cannot and have not been able to access my bills on myEir) so I gave her my mobile number. After a pregnant pause, she then said she could not deal with my query as she was in the landline and broadband department and not mobile department and that she would put me in a queue for the relevant department but that it was busy and I could be waiting (having already been on the phone for guts of 40 minutes). She wouldn't give me a number for the loyalty team for existing mobile customers.

I mean I genuinely could have thrown my phone out the window at this point - being sent from pillar to post and after wasting literally hours trying to get this sorted and never getting any closer to resolution. Even though I don't have an issue with Eir coverage or services, I want to cut my phone bill massively now that I am out of contract.

Has anybody on here by any chance got the correct contact number for the loyalty team for existing mobile (as opposed to landline/bb) customers?

you know the answer, leave Eir. Plenty of other mobile providers for about 15 euro. even if you get this new contract. What happens when the next issue arrises, you need to go through the process again.

Cheeky Eir charged my 6 euros for a few days coverage even though my sim was never in the phone before i moved back to my old phone operator.

Vodafone are as bad, if not worse.

They're moving to a callback only model for support, can't ring up and be put straight through to most departments any more. Plenty of reports online of only being able to schedule callbacks days away. At least they can say they don't leave people stuck on hold, eh!!

Their social media team seem to have gone MIA for the last month - a handful of responses here on boards, no responses in well over a week on their own website forum and most posts on their facebook unresponded to bar a generic post about receiving a high volume of queries and they're working through them in the order received.

Live chat is permanently busy.

I agree with all that. Vodafone are an absolute disaster. I wouldn't be joining them and paying them for their well over priced monthly plans. For €15pm with Eir, once you're up and running, you can't beat that price. The network works fine for me and I never need to contact their customer care.

I've noticed that with VF, I'd say they'll be hopping off boards following eir

Live chat - true, takes ages to get onto chat (my experience a week or two ago)

I don't understand why comms companies lack communications skills...

I'm currently on Vodafone Student PAUG and dont want to leave it if Eir are truly as bad as people are saying.

I've been with them for the past year or so on a 30 day SIM only contract and can honestly say I've never had a problem with them. Switched from Tesco Mobile when service kept dropping and I'm happy with them

Signing up in store it will be 6 months. Both phone contracts are on a rolling 30 day contract.

I did this. Chose eir mostly because of the sports pack (although epl is done for time being). Was easy enough.

Just called on 1800 303 719. But I think you can do it at onebigswitch.ie too.

This is the truth of it.

Eir are a disaster to deal with if something goes wrong, but Vodafone are no better and trading on their legacy reputation. These days they're no better from a customer service/back office perspective, but they are ridiculously overpriced and poor value. Their network is no better than eir in most places, and indoor coverage is abysmal (read the many comments on WiFi calling - or lack thereof - and suresignal issues - including dangerously overheating - on their boards forum).

The truth is that Comreg should never have approved the sale of O2 to 3 as while they weren't great either, they at least drove some competition and innovation in the market from the others.

It's a bit ridiculous that for a country which wholeheartedly embraced the mobile phone, that we don't actually have ONE all-round "decent" network.

FYI.. The future of BT Sport with eir is in doubt so far as I'm aware. Sky have a deal with them to bundle it as part of their services prior to the new season. This could see them removed from eir, or that you'll need to pay for it anyway.

VF previously screwed my porting out so badly and made it so impossible to get someone who could sort it out that I had to wait for a letter from their credit team which had the main switchboard number on it before I finally got it sorted.

My experience with live chat services in general is that it's OK for any very basic or routine questions or requests. Anything more than that though and you're in for some long phone calls - and I've been through all the main operators, but it's not restricted to just telecoms companies either.

Try it. Go on. I've had reason to try livechat this week (mainly since I couldn't get a response anywhere else) and spent the whole day repeatedly filling out the initial chat screen only to click through and be told all agents were busy.

Vodafone are just as bad as you make Eir out to be in your unusually high numbers of posts on this thread, each attempting to rubbish them (and big up vodafone).

I am not getting great speeds in Douglas Cork. About 15Mbps. If I get 4G+ it goes up to about 30Mbps.

When I was with Vodafone it was much faster. 4G was regularly about 30-40Mbps and 4G+ up to 60/70Mbps

They are just 4 behind Vodafone in reputation and a huge jump from where they were sitting in the bottom 5 a year or two ago:
https://thereputationsagency.ie/view/var/files/reptrak/2019/Ireland-20RepTrak-202019-20--20Website-20version-20NB-20090519.pdf

I have dealth with vodafone both on the consumer side and on the corporate side and my dealings have been overwhelmingly awful every time. But equally so with Eir.

I just find it odd how you are on some kind of mission to bash Eir on this thread at every available opportunity whilst bigging up vodafone. As far as I am concerned their backoffice support is equally as bad as each other.

You also ignored my points about vodafone phone support being gradually reduced and their social media channels being effectively abandoned the last month.

Anyway that's enough for me on vodafone. If you sign up to this deal and it goes swimmingly you are onto a winner and fair play. If not prepare for pain.

Every step of this thread I'm fed up of seeing corks finest posts bashing Eir at every opportunity. It's actually quite pathetic at this stage on his/her part. Obviously has very little to be doing with their life. I suggest you let that chip on your shoulder go. It must be awful having it weighing you down everyday. Anyway, no one is saying that Eir is great, but for €14.99 a month and a 30 day contract, it sure beats Vodafones 12 months contract of 6 months at €25pm and the final 6 months at €35pm. You also get way more data with Eir.

paddym1 · 16-05-2019 2:30pm

I think it is only fair to report the good as well as the bad. I called the 1-800 number about this deal, got through immediately, all done & dusted inside 10 minutes.

2 days later SIM arrived (it was 5.30 in the evening on the day I called). Since I was at work with access to a PC, I went to live-chat for the porting. Got an immediate response (well, less than 10 seconds). Chat session lasted 5-10 minutes, and port was completed less than an hour later.

I don't doubt the problems that are being reported, but in my case everything went as smoothly as I could have possibly expected. Data speeds seem good (I was with Lycamobile, whose data was "unpredictable"). Eir Sports app loaded straight away, seems like a great app, and probably even smoother than SkyGo.

Now I'm hoping that the service will continue to be as good for the next 12 months

JohnCleary · 16-05-2019 5:26pm

Managed to sign-up to this 14.99 deal last month for 12 months (I'm an eir customer, was paying 30 for the same deal previously).

Bill came in today: 14.99 + once-off service charge of 14.xx

Only found out it was a 'once off' after I contacted web-chat (which in fairness I was through to in 1 min)

Bit odd, but i'll let this one slide, so long as the following bills stay at 14.99

I think it's a sneaky deal by Sky which will allow them show Champions & Europa League matches next year in exchange for allowing BT to show more PL matches.
This then means viewers will have to get 2 Subs, more expense!

Received sim today from nightline, tried port online and it wouldn't go through. Tried online chat but got nowhere with the edjit copying and pasting from a script. Then I gave 1905 a call and was pleasantly surprised. Was told there was a more than 10 minute wait but only waiting about 30 seconds. Then I got through to a very helpful csr based in Ireland. He he had me ported over in less than 10 minutes and was able to fix the 2 problems that his other colleagues messed up on my original broadband order details.

Dont think you get the full data allowance while roaming, i think its around 10gb or something like that.

Do I have to request the callback on OBS site or can I proactively conact Eir or OBS to ensure I don't miss the deadline?

Don't bother with the callback.
I'm still waiting having requested a callback 4 weeks ago!

I hate change! With VF so long, i just like when things work, anyway i was worried about heading to Eir based on people’s feedback here, so rang VF on Friday, asked they make me an offer or id have to go to eir, tbf to them they did, not as good as eir but i was happy.
Went from €55 a mth at 5gb data to 25 a month with 20gb data, and moves to 35 after 6 mths, great savings for me, more data and keep phone upgrade

This means i stay (with them 15 plus years) and they rewarded loyalty

Managed to sign-up to this 14.99 deal last month for 12 months (I'm an eir customer, was paying 30 for the same deal previously).

Bill came in today: 14.99 + once-off service charge of 14.xx

Only found out it was a 'once off' after I contacted web-chat (which in fairness I was through to in 1 min)

Bit odd, but i'll let this one slide, so long as the following bills stay at 14.99

I was also charged the 14.99 extra. My first bill was 26.04€ for 3 weeks. Contacted customer care and got a different response that we pay a month in advance. Does this mean them that we have to give notice 30 days before the year is up and we'll get the last month for free? Don't think I've come across this before with phone companies.

Eir Mobile SIM only €14.99 per month
