    60eur for international calls.

    It depends on a number of circumstances. As you know, all contracts are subject to a credit check. Depending on the results of that check, Meteor (or indeed any phone company) could ask you for a deposit. The amount varies from person to person, and depends on your previous credit history (paying back loans etc). Simply put, staff on the day will not know if you will get a deposit. They enter the information as you give it, and simply click on submit. Any deposit is purely dependent on the Credit Control department for Meteor, and again, any other phone company. Deposits range from 60 to 300, as far as I can recall.

    The above deposits mentioned by ciaran are only you want to be able to make international calls and to go roaming within the first 3 months of your contract. These are optional and have nothing to do with a credit score. Once you have paid your first 3 bills, they are removed for free once you ask.

    I was under the (apparently mistaken?) impression that Meteor was a yes/no and then pay deposits for international/roaming.

    Nope, there's varying levels of deposits and have been for as long as I can recall.
