Just looking at 48. You're not comparing like for like really. That €20 offer includes 60 mins of landline calls. Whilst it probably suits you perfect it isn't like for like.

I don't know the last time I rang a land line. The unlimited mobile calls and texts does me! Also if it was upto me I'd get a loan too buy the phone knowing I'd be €600quid better off over 2 years! If it was only a saving of 50 I'd understand but €600 is huge!

Tesco and 48 (who use the same hardware) used to be capped at 2Mb down but this was removed back in November. Around that time I did a speed test in Kilmore and got 14.21 down and 2.2 up. At the moment, here in Fairview, I'm getting 7.11 down and 1.25 up.

All depends on the individual. I recently moved to Vodafone and got a 5s free on red super I think. It's unlimited calls and texts and 6 gb data plus 500 international mins and texts. For me it's perfect cos I use the phone an awful lot and have family in Australia.

I was on emobiles top plan for €84 a month with €10 discount for having eircom bb. My bills were rarely under €95. Now with Vodafone I'm getting it all on for €75 a month.

Wow, I'm amazed that people would spend €75-84 on a non business phone.

It's a 2 year contract and I can get another phone for free if I give this back to them in a year or pay a fee and get a fee to get the upgrade early.

I've rarely used any apps for talking cos my brother never bothered with a smart phone. That's why the free international calls is a big bonus for me.

Do you really think that phone is free? Also your international calls are not free when you're paying such a high monthly fee.

I'd rather be sim free but I just don't have €700 spare to buy an iPhone from apple so one on a contract suits me and my usage perfect.

You would have €700 to spare if you chaged.

Out of contract now and I'm paying €30 per month with Meteor for all calls, texts and data.
When I was in contract and was paying for the phone it was €50 so that's around €280 a year cheaper than your package and will almost cover cost of new phone when out this year.

I realise that I'm paying for the phone throughout the contract but my point is I haven't the money to buy an iPhone straight from apple and doubt I will anytime soon so this is the best option available to me.

I just worked out I would spend over 1100 euro on bills plus 500plus for phone on meteor!!! This is way too expensive.

I'm with them 12 months 3 crashes! 1 brought down o2 for 2 hours. One for about 2-3 hours n 1 over night 8pm too 8am. Very annoying but I stuck with them as I belive it's the best deal out there! I run a soccer team and spend stupid hours a week texting and ringing!

What plan are you looking at that would cost that much and so expensive up front?

DonFred
