Should I change from Anytime Original to Anytime Extra

fletch

My current plan is Anytime Original and I can't decide whether to change to Anytime Xtra

Anytime Original

• Meteor - Meteor - 9c
• Text Message (ROI) - 9c
• Voicemail - 25c
• Meteor - Landline (ROI) - 32c
• Meteor - other networks (ROI) - 45c

BONUS - Free monthly top-up, usually €3


Anytime Xtra

• Meteor - Meteor - 25c
• Text Message (ROI) - 9c
• Voicemail - FREE
• Meteor - Landline (ROI) - 25c
• Meteor - other networks (ROI) - 25c

BONUS - Free calls to a friend

As it stands I rarely make phone calls with my phone and if I do it's never for more than a few seconds. However I know my boyfriend would appreciate a few phone calls from me during the week I couldn't give up my free texts for life and most of my friends are on meteor.
What do people reckon? Should I change tariff? Oh and I have my voicemail disabled.

well you should definitely get off the tariff you're currently on. the small saving on meteor-meteor calls doesn't make up for everything else being more expensive than the current anytime tariff:

Meteor - Meteor 20c
Text Message (ROI) 9c
Voicemail FREE
Meteor - Landline (ROI) 20c
Meteor - other networks (ROI) 20c

personally i wouldn't go onto it because i call other numbers a lot but the quesiton is whether its good for you.

with this tariff, if one fifth or more of your calls are to that person you're making a saving. log into the meteor website and click "View Calls". that'll tell you who you've been calling and for how long. you might be surprised to find that less than one fifth of your call time is to him

Okay just did up a quick spreadsheet of my calls for March & April. I really don't make many phonecalls at all!
Total Phone Calls in March - €2.24
Total to fella - €0.27 (12%)
Total Phone Calls in April - €3.72
Total to fella - €0.35 (9%)

if i were you i wouldn't bother then. it'd have to be at least 20% to make a saving and even then you'd be saving about 10c

just change to the standard anytime tariff so your anytime and other network prices drop. the figure you gave there was for 12% and 9% of cost but since all other costs are dropping now that percentage will probably drop

10 cent is 10 cent!

Hmmm maybe I'll just change tarrif and not tell the boyfriend and then I can ring him and he'll think I love him all the more
Thanks for the interest Commander
