    I recently got a new phone and thinking of changing network. I was wondering what network people believe provides more bang for their buck each month? Thanks in advance

    Is the phone unlocked?

    how much calls, texts and data do you need?

    Each network has different offers and perks

    Three are probably best as they have free calls, texts and internet for €20 a month. Their coverage can be rubbish in certain places though...

    Get some free pre pay sims from the networks and test out their signal in an unlocked phone where you live work and play. When you find the best networks for signal then you can pick the best one for price. No point having a great priced network and no/intermittent signal to use.

    The sims aren't free though! They make you top them up with about €10 before they'll give it to you.

    Not true. Only vodafone charge 10 euro for a sim which comes with 10 euro. The rest will give them away free. Just tell them you're thinking of moving networks and you want to be sure of the signal.

    The fe*kers. That's just the sales people trying to make a sale. I've loads of sims from the networks and the only one that's ever charged was vodafone.
