Asking the same question repeatedly will get you a long way with the rep I'm sure :rolleyes:

Hi
Is there an internet link ?
What store did you see this in?
Is it only the 4s?

Tesco Claire Hall, only launched yesterday, I only know what was listed on the ad card - Sorry

Might be of some help...

I signed up when this first came out and am well out of contract now. Emobile were quoting crazy prices for an upgrade, all I wanted was an S4 and it was well over €300. On the off chance went into Carphone Warehouse, managed to keep the same deal, unlimited calls, texts and data, same price etc, 18 month contract and got the S4 for €149. The very helpful girl mentioned something about their system was not fully updated so they were able to put through the offer. Not sure how or why but I am happy I got the phone at that price and was assured it was the same unlimited staff deal.

Can confirm I upgraded to HTC One at carphone warehouse in February for €150 and kept same unlimited deal for 34.50.

Just got the S5. Checked a few of the providers and settled on 179 euro @40 per month from three. 15gb data. 4G and 350 flex units (I text with WhatsApp and Facebook messenger 90% of time so it's 300mins I'll probably have)

Vodafone had unlimited texts. 400 min. and phone was 50 euro (100euro off over easter) so looked really good
No 4G and lowish data put me off though.
Other providers are like 300 euro at 40 a month..
Really liking this 4G. Am south of Dublin and have 30mb upload and 15mb download everywhere give or take. Netflix on public transport might be a viable option at last

Is that with an 18 month contract?

I paid €180 to upgrade to a HTC One last November. Thought it was a fair price(ish)

Cheers for the info above lads... going to move to the 3 Sim only 30-day Business plan and save myself 10-15 quid a month, with a lot more benefits thrown in

I went with three and left after a few days to tesco mobile

The three network is terrible, expecially the ability to penetrate walls. Meaning some parts of the house had two bars, others none. And according to site viewer I'm near a three mast

I talked to three customer support, beyond terrible

I've had 3 PAYG and broadband in the apartment before (South Dublin) and it's ok so hopefully won't be an issue for me.

If it is though (and thanks for the heads up ), it's only a 30-day contract so can always cancel it.

For me the benefit of being cheaper for the same thing I was getting from eMobile, but with 4G thrown in, better roaming options and a dedicated business team (vs the generally awful consumer level support from most networks) makes it a no-brainer

4G is included in the emobile 30 day plan now I think

I don't get it on my current one (which was a half price deal after a LOT of hassle with them a few years back - I posted about it before) so moving would mean I'd lose that package. Also, since I originally signed up I've moved and no longer have a landline (so no eircom discount)

Also eMobile's 4G is going to be 5GB or something shortly and billable? Yer man quoted me 60GB plus tethering on 3 - but even if it's only 15GB "unlimited" that's still what I get now and more than I need as I have wi-Fi everywhere and not a big app/mobile web user anyway (never far from a laptop/tablet)

Still, I'll give it a go and see how it works out.


[EDIT] Just spotted on the Terms & Conditions page that the limit is supposedly 15GB and no tethering is allowed. As it also mentions a 12 month contract I'm not sure if the link is right on their end as this is 30 day, so I've emailed the rep for confirmation [/EDIT]

Cyrus

the three plan is 4g and 15gb i think

on the business plan you get irish customer support aswell

Can you tell me more about the three deal please? I thought tethering wasn't allowed now?

Well I've just spoken to the rep and he assures me it is on Business plans (but not consumer) but I've asked for confirmation of that and the data limit in writing/an email.

The limit doesn't really bother me as 15GB is more than enough for my needs (but 60GB is better again of course) but tethering would be a must have really.

Tethering is allowed on the business accounts, just note residential.

It's not a 15GB limit. The T's & C's state that they MAY limit your usage over 15GB. However, there are many people stating that they are using multiples of that a month with no consequence.

Do you have a link to that plan ?

No. I have friends on the plan. As far as I know, it's a two phone minimum for business accounts. Best to ring them.

loopymum

Thanks, I found it and had a look at the terms and conditions, it's a bit confusing really. It says minimum 12 months term and further down says 30 days notice.
Also says no tethering

30 days notice after contract term.
It doesn't mention tethering because it's not restricted. If a clause isn't mentioned, it's allowed.... generally.

Just to update this from my perspective as I'm going ahead with the changeover next week.

Having spoken to the rep again, the Sim-Only Business Package includes:
- Free calls and texts to Irish mobiles
- Free calls to Irish and NI landlines
- Free voicemail
- All you can Eat data (60GB fair use limit he says)
- 3 Like Home package (free calls/texts to Ireland on certain 3 networks)
- Tethering is permitted he says
- Minimum of 2 mobiles required on the a/c (no handsets provided of course)
- 30 day rolling contract
- Can contact their Business support team for any issues

For €20 ex-VAT (per mobile) per month.

I've sent on the forms, received confirmation that they're ok, so I'd expect the SIM to be sent early-mid next week now.

selfbuilder1

Can I ask what forms you need for the 3 business sim only plan? Thanks.

fibix

So with this 15e Tesco deal, what does this mean:

"Eg - €15 Top could give you:

UNLIMITED calls to any mobile or landline and
UNLIMITED texts to any mobile or
5Gb of Data or
1Gb of Data
Keep the balance to spend on International calls or day to day usage."

What does that OR that I highlighted means? That it's either unlimited minutes / txts OR data?

daytob

you get unlimited calls
you then have 15 euro for anything you want
I chose the unlimited texts 10 euro which left me 5 euro. and with the 5 euro I got 1gb of data.

They send you a business registration form to fill in:

Company details
Type of business
Sole trader or limited
Vat number
Type of phones you're bringing
Copy of you're last mobile bill
Bank statement in company name
Direct debit mandate etc.

blankblank

Can confirm also guys I got the HTC One (M7) on the emobile upgrade from cardphone warehouse for 99e.

Kept the 34.50 for another 18 months

Not bad in my opinion just a shame I couldn't buy direct from an emobile store and had to go to a third party.

If you're not VAT registered, can you still apply?
