then there's something wrong with her phone. i have full coverage 100% of the time. my friend who lives 100 metres from me is on meteor too and can never get a signal in his house. if i go to his house and put my phone sitting next to his i have full coverage and he has none. he used to blame meteor too

Bad Meteor coverage. One of the current false beliefs of Meteor. They have practically the same coverage as every other network. I've been with them for nearly 2 years now and I have very rarely had a dropped call or coverage issue.

I am so glad I found this thread cause I'm fuming about the "free texts" that vodafone are pan handling this St. Paddys weekend.

It is another case of classic RIP OFF IRELAND. My mate works in vodafone and I asked him about the promotion and he said that my point came up in the marketing meeting as a plus for vodafone and here it is.....

WHEN ONE SENDS A TXT, IT COULD BE TO ANY NETWORK?????

How can you know?? Maybe that ring beep that they used to have or something but in general it's a scam

In the ads that say FREE TXTs, (but only voda to voda) How the hell can anybody know who's on what??

Ok..... meteor have the free meteor to meteor txts. fine but you can generally trust that at least a 085 is a meteor. BUT VODAFONE HAVE THE HIGHEST MIGRATION OF NUMBERS. so you can guarantee that half of your 087's are NOT vodafone.

And Vodafone reckon that this confusion will pay for the promotion!!!

So dont go and txt all the numbers in you phonebook a Happy St. Patricks Day, dont even TXT all the 087's in your phone book a Happy St. Patricks day, In fact just forget the promotion and txt as normal.

Unfortunately most will txt away, and vodafone will once again have successfully RIPPED OFF IRELAND.

To check whether or not the number is part of the Meteor network, you can simply send a text with your phone number in the body of the text, to 50004 . example, to determine if the person with the number 087 1234567 is a Meteor subscriber then simply send a text with 0871234567 to the number 50004. A response will be sent, indicating whether or not the number is part of the Meteor network.

My brother is on his 4th or 5th phone with Meteor.
He never has good coverage.

well it does have its blackspots the same as any other network. my gf could never get o2 coverage in dublin 7 and so switched to meteor and its fine now. where is he based?

meteor has grand coverage, been with them from day 3 or 4 and it was a bit shakey at the start...now its better than o2 and voda in some places around the city

Meteor has always been good for me too. Free text ftw.
