No clear details yet, but we will have a couple of new Samsung phones and some other Android devices. We are also reviewing some Windows devices presently but these are not confirmed.

Hi Joe

You shouldnet need anything in the Tethering box. We dont block or use a different APN for tethering but you could just put the APN from below there

Settings for iPhone

1. Put the Tesco Mobile SIM in unlocked iPhone and perform normal setup via iTunes

2. Go to Settings->General->Network and Turn Data Roaming On

3. Also in Settings->General->Network go to Mobile Data Network
Put APN and MMS proxy details in as below

a) Enter the following details into Mobile Data at the top of the section.

APN: tescomobile.liffeytelecom.com
Username: leave empty
Password: leave empty

b) Enter following details into the MMS section.

APN: tescomobile.liffeytelecom.com
MMSC: http://10.1.11.68/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 10.1.11.19:8080
Max Message Size: 307200
MMS UA Prof URL : leave empty

Hi There

This is an eircom issue as the smtp server they provide doesn't work outside eircom.

We don't provide SMTP services. You can source an SMTP service for free through Google or a paid for service through hosting companies like Register 365

Hi, just wondering if online is the only way to sign up for a bill pay with Tesco? Can you also do it in-store?

Thanks

Perfect... Might be going to Jervis later so..

Anyways, Tesco should also setup a thread in the "Talk to" section of the boards.

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=241

You'd be a lot easier to find there.

Thanks for the reply.

Paul, what's the story with data bundles on capped data plans?

For example - €10 gives me €30 credit

Can I spend €6.99 for a months data (1GB) listed here and then have €23.01 left as credit for calls/texts for the month?

Hi Colm

The €10 is a subscription that gives you €30 tariff credit much like bonus credit in PAYG - the €10 is then spent. While the €30 can be used for data overage it cant be use to buy bundles or make international/roaming/premium calls. You need to topup to additionally for this.

Hope this helps

I see... Was thinking there'd be a catch like that

So could I top up by €10 on top of the €10 subscription that comes out of my bank account for the month and use that to buy a data bundle?

Alternatively would it be possible to set up a DD for €16.99/month altogether and get the €30 credit and 1GB of net for the month?

Yes you can top up the extra €10 to buy the bundle.

We will be doing something on recurring bundles in couple of months across all plans that is very similar to your second suggestion.

BuzzG

Paul is there a way to check the remaining minutes and texts using a short code from the phone on a Tesco Mobile bill plan. On O2 you can use *111# to give the remaining mins/text remaining.

Tesco Mobile: Paul

Not yet...but..... by the end of the week it wilI be possible. Text BALANCE to 1744. We will send a text to Pay Monthly customers to notify them when available

Blankety

Great thread and feedback from Paul, I searched and didn't find the following information, maybe Paul you can help.


1 Will Viber work on the limited broadband?
2 I live close to the border, if my phone picks up a northern network am I paying full international rates?
3 when will the S2 skyrocket be available on billpay? 4G while not important now will be important in 2 years when selling on. my old desire is still worth £150...

I'm on three now at the €79 per month but your €55 would be similar - better coverage - lower BB speed - no all Ireland roaming. Still work a look, contract ends in 30 days...
