Meteor & Emobile Advice Please

    Hi guys

    A few of these questions cross over between meteor and emobile.

    I live in an area where meteor mobile broadband is very good. I am considering getting the samsung g2 on either meteor or emobile both offers seem very good but i havent decided which one yet. I have always been prepay so this would be my first bill pay phone.

    Am i right in thinking that the €14.99 data add on for both networks can be used on the galaxy s2 and not just as a tethering data add on.

    Also since the speeds are so good on meteor mobile bb where i live, does this mean the add on will be as fast on my new phone?

    I am hoping to use the g s2 with 10gb data add on as a replacement to using my pc (meteor mobile broadband dongle)

    I understand that a phone renders slower than a pc, but would the overall download speeds be the same, and also for the occasion when i might tether the phone to a pc.

    Would i even need a 10gb data add on for a phone? is the internet compressed or something? so i would need less bandwitdh like say only 2GB on a phone? I often use up the mmb monthly prepay allowance before the time is up.

    Here are the offers i was looking at.

    Meteor

    bill pay connect €20 + data add on €14.99
    + cost of phone €219

    200 inclusive miniutes + 200 texts. (18 month contract)

    Emobile

    (Select 100) €19 + data add on €14.99

    100 minutes + 100 texts

    cost of phone €219

    +unlimited landline calls. (12 month contract)


    Its important for me to know that if i went with Emobile the download speeds and coverage would be comparable to meteor's.

    I think the emobile deal would be better for me even though there would be half the minutes and texts.

    The service i currently get on meteor including website layout and communication from staff has been very good

    Emobile's website does not seem to be as good as meteor's and appears to have broken or no SSL at sign in.

    Meteor has persistent HTTPS connection when logged in.

    In the T&C for emobile data add on it says not to use it for VOIP, does this mean no Skype? and is it this same for meteor.


    I understand that this is a lot to answer but i would be very grateful if someone from both Emobile and Meteor could read this and get back to me as soon as you can.



    Thanks
