Cheapest way to hold onto an Irish mobile number?

useruser

Hi All,

I want to hold onto an Irish mobile number that is currently with Meteor post-paid costing about 20 Euro a month. Is there a cheaper way to hold onto the number? I am not in Ireland anymore and only use the SIM very rarely but need to keep the number just in case. Post-paid would be preferable as I don't have to worry about topping it up or the number getting deactivated by accident.

Thanks,

UU.

Meteor have a 10 euro a month bill pay contract. You should downgrade to that.

Cheapest? Prepay. By a mile.

All you have to do is top up by as low as €5 every 6 months (might even be 12 depending on the network) and it will stay active. You can top up online on Meteor and you can schedule top ups as well.

Brilliant, that scheduled top-up option is all I need and will save me plenty. Drinks on me.

Thank you both for your help,

From memory o2 is the cheapest, all you need to do is make a chargeable call every 6 months. So you topup a fiver, and that could last for a few years.

What Davy said. Topup a fiver and send yourself a text every 6 months
