    Have you contacted Meteor about this?

    You need to contact meteor with as much detail as you can including your mobile number and account pin number as well as details of the offer/promotion you were on. I always found sending an email easiest as you get to keep a copy of the communication.

    Also be patient and give them 48 hours after bringing it to their attention but after that email again and use the heading "formal complaint" and include that your previous query was not dealt with in the normal timeframe. You could also contact ComReg at this time to alert them of what could be an unfaIr practice whereby free texts etc are not applied to customers accounts. This issue seems to be a major problem for some operators.

    I'd bet my house on the fact that you signed up to Talk, Text & Internet which went up to €30 on 1st October.

    It was noted on all their literature that the price was a promotional one and that it was going up to 30e on 2nd Sept. It was extended until the 1st.

    Happened to me, too, and my friend. Got a text saying top up by 20 to avail of free talk, text and internet but rang Meteor as I was told I'd be switched back to talk and text once the internet deal went up in price. They said all was fine, so I topped up and all my credit was taken. Same thing happened to my best friend. After 2 days and about 70 phone calls (no joke, fcukers kept ending the calls without even picking them up and leaving me on hold for over an hour at a time!), they paid up. Then took the credit away once my texts and talk were enabled. Cue more calls til they put the credit back on my account, as it had only been used (unknowingly) for texting and calling Meteor numbers.


    Now I'm after getting a text saying 'please top up by 30 euro to continue to avail of free talk, text and internet,' so I have no idea what plan they actually have me on! :mad:
