Eircom bundles and the social welfare allowance

    We are currently getting the social welfare allowance for Eircom line rental...I think it is €42.82 and it also covers some calls up to maybe a €5 (I'm not sure).

    I am getting Eircom broadband for €30 a month.

    The thing is Eircom have a bundle for €55.99 which breaks down as €25 for the broadband and €30.99 for unlimited national and local calls off peak. Line rental is included

    What I'm wondering is whether I could sign up for the bundle, get €42.82 off and thereby get the broadband I am currently paying €30 for, for nearly half price.

    Basically what I'm asking is do you still get the allowance for a bundle?

    Hi Amirah Icy Groin, As far as i know you can do this. I used to be with eircom for the phone, then i moved over to utv, then i got broadband. Once they started their bundle packages i signed up for that instead as it worked out a hell of a lot cheaper- I pay 23.99 a month for 2 mb broadband and their anytime call package(calls to all ireland and uk landlines-up to 1 hour per call). Sorry, i know you are talking about eircom but i would say they operate the free schemes section the same way.

    So are you getting the allowance with utv? If so how much of the €23.99 a month is discounted?

    *edit* Oh wait I get it...the €23.99 is the amount you pay after the allowance! Thanks for replying!
