I have textual relationships more and more..

Sam Vimes

seems to be working here

edit: here's the bundle info:

If you text a lot, you can save money by purchasing your texts in bulk. You pay once a month & receive a 'text bundle'. For 5c text, buy 400 texts for €20 (saving over €23 each & every month), for 5.5c text, buy 300 texts for €16.50 (Pay monthly only), for 6c text, buy 200 texts for €12 or for 7.5c text, buy 100 texts for €7.50. You can text any mobile on an Irish network. The only exceptions are international, roaming and premium texts.

Probably.

They're the most under-rated network in my opinion.

Mossy Monk

tried Meteor, thought they were ****. network always down, patchy coverage etc. etc.

could have been just me

Dooom

Thanks to Meteor that majority of my communication with people is through sms. Although I do still make calls, but sometimes messages are just far more convenient.

Tar.Aldarion

Some people say that Mossy Monk, I don't get it though.

I have always had coverage, perfect coverage. There is also that deal they have with O2 to share their coverage...

Dooom

Where's this calculator thing to see how many messages you've sent/received?

Tar.Aldarion

It's different for different phones.
Mine is in call register, message counters.
Nokia 3510i

this is true but my coverage with O2 is much better for some reason

Tar.Aldarion

I would imagine O2 put meteor customers on a much lower priority than O2 customers when things get busy.
Random guess!

when did you do this? their coverage was crap years ago but its fine now. and there can be problems with phones too. i always have perfect coverage but my mate around the corner (about 100 metres) can barely make a call

Actually the roaming deal meteor have with O2 is for certain cells only.
Most of Wicklow has no or patchy meteor coverage and you are not allowed to roam on o2 there even if you have no meteor coverage.
Thats something even the meteor biddies deny when rung but it is the case

Hence I'm on three and never ever a problem.

Mossy Monk

i changed from Meteor to O2 in the summer
using the exact same handset too
best move i ever made

I know people near the m50 that had to move from o2 to Voda due to poor coverage.

Meh-I rarely text but when I do they are long ones!
