    I was just wondering if there is anywhere to compare the cost of data charges for gprs across all 4 mobile networks in Ireland?

    Or does anyone have a breakdown on the charges that your average user will incur?

    I am trying to get some idea from the comreg comparison site but its not exactly providing what I need.

    http://www.callcosts.ie

    Otherwise I am going on what I can get from the operators web-sites.

    If anyone has any useful suggestions on this fire away.

    Thanks.

    3 doesn't offer generic GPRS access, which is very clever seeing as they have a 3G network. Meteor is priced in crazy land for GPRS the last time I looked, so realistically it's down to O2 or Vodafone.

    Both offer a bunch of bundles and data cards. I don't think their web sites are current so I would call them to find out.

    Thanks for that.

    Based on the info I can glean off their websites theses are current costs. 3 is excluded as they don't have any gprs as such (as Blaster99 stated).

    Incredibly over-priced services in this country. A swedish friend of mine cannot believe how expensive it is compared to home.

    Anyway perhaps this may be of some use. If anyone has any corrections or other info lets hear it.

    O2
    1C Per Kb Pay as you go and monthly
    1mb (1000Kb) will cost you approxiamtely €10

    Top package is
    Surf 50 package (49.3mb allowance)
    €60.50 per month (vat inc)

    1kb minimum charge per session

    Vodafone
    2c up to 512KBs.
    0.5c/KB for any usage beyond the 512KBs limit.

    1mb will cost you €12.50

    6mb Bundle (€18)

    10kb minimum charge per session


    Meteor
    3c Per Kb Pay as you go and monthly

    1mb will cost you €30

    Minimum charge (€2.50 per 512KB) of data is billed in advance and the balance of this can be used over furter sessions.

    I'm on a bundle with Vodafone that's €30 for 50MB I'm pretty sure. This is why I think the web sites are out of date.
