So, as a Meteor customer, I would be able to text everyone I know regardless of network - although my call costs to Meteor, Vodafone & Three numbers would nearly double.

Hmmmm - looks tempting if your more of a txtr than a talker!

Currently I can txt anyone on Meteor for free, but then again, if I took this offer, the people I know with 5c calls to Meteor numbers could no longer call me for cheap! Decisions decisions...

Edit: Just spotted the charges for calling voicemail... Not good! Although I have heard of people just turning the service off altogether, so the person will send you a txt instead of leaving a message...

I noticed how O2 are screwing call costs as are vodafone. Tariffs are going up unless your on a special rate offer

They're not really free, they're just inclusive in the E20 per month you pay. Voicemail is a ripoff, especially for what it is, it uses no network connectivity beyond O2's infrastructure so it's simply screwing the customer.

Anyway Meteor also offer this and it's not really a bargain!

Meteor don't offer free texts to ANY (Irish) network.

20 topup in your first month activates it for that month and the following month....

20 topup March gives free texts April
20 topup April gives free texts May
etc...,

I am been given an option to chose free calls to 10 o2 numbers (instead of the option to get free texts);



But, here's the catch, O2 are forcing me to ditch my Early Bird tariff (cheap off-peak calls) to avail of either of these 'free' options.



Not much of a bargain, methinks!:rolleyes:

It's a rip off. I moved to Three instead - 5c video, text and picture messages to any network. Calls to mobiles are more expensive than o2 but I don't make a huge amount of calls. I find it hard to get through all my credit on Three tbh! Topped up 20 euro at the start of april and I still have 8 euro left.

I took their other deal, ring 10 other O2 numbers for free anytime..With the topup of 20 a month i just get their 200texts bundle for 12euro...I was on meteor and had a flat rate of 20c to any number/anytime...by switching to this deal ive reduced my phone bills from 80 a month to 20..IF you work it properly its a super deal!!!!

U get nailed on calls to other networks and VM, but if you are just a texter then not bad.

Text is free, but calls are expensive. That's nasty.

Anyway, I don't worry about it. I'm a student and I have a lots of facilities, meaning 1c per minute at calls and 3c per text in network. In other networks...25c, extra expensive...

kmart6

I'm with Meteor...and have the free texts to other Meteor numbers,so for me that's all my family and friends,there's only one of the lads that isn't Meteor so he prob get's most of the €20 a month spent on him,don't think I've used the €20 any month,haven't been out of credit for 3 years act,lol! If it wasn't for Meteor though I'd prob go through €10-€15 a day!

@lonely_soldier - that appears to be an offer that is only limited to a very small userbase and is not something you can just sign up to.
