    If you top up by €30 with vodafone you get your free calls and texts and 250mb of free mobile internet too: i can not for the life of me figure out why they don't advertise it. I know you can't text for it yet but if you rang cust care or drop into a shop they should do it. and yes the only reason i know is i work in a voda shop and i have it on my phone... :rolleyes: i know its not ideal but its better than 360 anyway :eek:

    Nice one :-) Does it just go back to the 99c when the 250mb is used up? Cheers.

    Got an email today looking for my address to send the sim card to, still no mention of prices though.

    I'm living in Belgium using a mvno called Mobile Vikings - they offer 2gb of data and 1,000 texts free when you top up by €15 - and all calls are 24c per minute to all networks. This offer would be very interesting in Ireland i'd imagine. (The main networks in Belgium are more expensive than Irish prices too)

    I like the 1cent for charity idea. I know is just PR but every little helps I suppose. I just hope they make the site mobile friendly. They say they will anyway.

    vodafones 30 euro top up deal is actually really good..but know body knows about it..it is very weird.
    i was in process of leaving vodafone when i seen it just last week.probably on par with meteors great PAYG deals.

    Still i need a bill phone so no use to me now.looking at meteors bill tarriffs as all friends are meteor and for extra 15 add on i get all the internet i want..so will never pay more then 45...and possile enough internet on their 30 euro deal anyway.

    😎

    No data yet which is pretty shocking in this day and age

    Calls are 20c and txts 9c, is this any cheaper than tesco when you count double top ups?

    Hmm I was just about to switch from Meteor to Tesco today as they are way cheaper. I heard Just Mobile are going live though so i checked them out. Anyway long story short they have the same prices as Tesco & Post Phone, 20c /min calls to any network any time, and 9c txts to any network.

    I would like to give my business to the Irish operators, but they dont have any welcome deals like Tescos' 100% extra free top up credit for life, and they don't have data access. Although Just Mobile say they will have data soon.

    So I think i'll switch to Tesco for the time being, but switch to Just Mobile or Postfone or any of the major networks once their prices come down.

    Just got my SIM with €20 free credit.

    Know there's no data at the moment, but I don't use data on the phone that much anyway, can live without it for a while. Just waiting to see what kind of plans they bring out now, they've promised something good.

    Looks to me like they're going after Meteor's <20's PAYG customer base primarily.

    Pretty smart - good volume of customers there that spend a lot on PAYG and don't really use data. MVNO margins can be quite good too since there's no infrastructure costs - call centre and buying the packages from Voda would be the main things.

    Even if it plateaus in 2 or 3 years, the lads are sure to make a packet!

    anyone else think the condom on the home page is a bit much - I know its only meant as an attempt at humour but very young kids these days have access to the internet and are interested in mobile phones.

    Yeah I thought that it was a bit much too .... they could have used an umbrella for example like meteor

    Nice idea. Just looking through the tariffs now.

    First thing I spotted - It costs 30c or 60c to receive a text while roaming (Countries listed in Adventurer/Visa/Explorer/Mad Money - basically outside of europe).

    That's fairly harsh.

    I mentioned the same cost with An Post mobile as well when it launched. I wonder how long before the big four do the same?

    Has the Sim an 087 number attached,I presume that they are just an MVNE working off the Vodafone network like Postfone ?

    Yes, they are an MVNO working off Voda, their numbers will begin with the prefix 087.

    That e5 price is off the wall alright, don't seem to offer much, 20cent calls and 9cent texts and some free Randoms.

    What's with the funny top up amounts,
    "€4 with JUST Mobile to get you chatting and texting. We’re also available in top-up amounts of €9, €13, €18"

    I know the can make the claim top up is cheaper but that's just daft.
