If you can get your hands on a 3 UK SIM and get 3 UK top-up vouchers you'll be able to make cheap calls (10p per minute) and texts (10p per text) to UK mobile and certain landline destinations when you call from Ireland;

Interestingly to call/text the UK using your 3 Ireland mobile phone costs €0.35 per minute and €0.25 per text respectively!

And, just for further comparison
For Meteor the cost is €0.50 for calls and €0.25 for texts
For Vodafone the cost is €0.15/€0.30 (landline/mobile) for calls and €0.25 for texts
For O2 the cost is €0.25/€0.35 (landline/mobile) for calls and €0.25 for texts.
For Tesco the cost is €0.50 for calls and €0.25 for texts.

all of the networks charge the same price for an sms to the uk with the exception of 3. Price fixing is supposed to be banned in the mobile industry.

What i do is give 3UK £15 per month for 500 minutes , I can call the UK as part of my minutes and send texts to any UK network all included, I receive calls and texts for free as long as I have a 3 Ireland signal which in my area is pretty good, they gave me a Nokia phone for free as well.

good point... going the next step (from their 3 Like Home) same would apply if you got a 3 Austria, 3 Italy, 3 Denmark, or 3 Sweden PAYG sim and credit (more countries apply if you get a bill pay which are only australia and hong kong - i thought they were more)

Do-more

Vodafone have introduced international webtexts now, have they not...

Forget all that

I have 2 phones, a meteor bill pay for here and an O2 PAYG from UK to keep in touch with family and friends back in Wales

Get an O2 UK Sim card, then get the Ireland Bolt On, it's 1.99 per month but then there are no roaming charges, you don't pay to answer calls and calls/texts made only cost what they would in the UK.

Also when in UK coverage you get 300 free texts per month with every 10quid top up.

Ya can also add the International Bolt On for free, that's basically when in UK coverage you can phone nearly any land line in the world for 5p per minute
