    it was in relation to someone paying €100 for a 3gs, if you read the initial post. I wasnt gloating, I was merely pointing out that when it comes to apple, people lose the run of themselves.
    It must have had flappy birds installed on it.

    I dropped my 2 year old Huawei g300 a couple of days ago and smashed the screen.

    I bought a new Huawei Y300 for 80 euros on Meteor. Got it unlocked for 3 euros from Ebay.

    I am on 3 prepay because of the 'all you can eat data' for 20 euros a month. I probably only spend a fiver a month on calls and texts but I use a load of data.
    Google play store allows you to buy apps using phone credit so I subscribe to Google Play Music which costs a tenner a month and that leaves me with another 5 euros to spend in the app store on peppa pig games for the kids.

    I don't think three make very much money from me as a customer.

    I didn't know you could use your credit for Google play music sub and for purchasing apps?

    Three don't make any money here at all, their parent company has been subsidising them. They're also getting rid of the all you can eat packages

    Yeah. When you're buying the app, you probably have your payment details saved on your google account. When it's asking you to confirm payment, just touch the payment details and a box with 'payment options' opens and you can choose to pay using your mobile phone account.

    If you read on, you will see one the Three admins saying it will more than likely be extented.

    Admins? You mean the sales rep? If you believe that......

    Yes them.......

    I have no reason not to believe that a Three sales rep said a deal 'might' be extended.
    Every deal for everything has an expiry date, it does not mean this Three deal cannot be renewed and given a new expiry date.

    I seriously doubt Three are going to drop this plan/deal.

    They may have no choice if they want to make money, they're years in the Irish market and have not made a single cent, they'll have to make money at some stage. None of the other providers offer AYCE, for very good reason, it's not sustainable. One thing is for sure, it won't last forever. Clever marketing though.

    Oks it's reasonable I suppose.they might just stick a limit on it(afaik it's 15gb limit atm but they just don't enforce it?)

    But I wouldn't inform someone not to join three now because their worried about this deal ending in june/july.

    I'm liking the tesco price plan. Think me and my sim free iphone might be about to part ways with O2 :D

    No good for anything unless you don't need any apps or music on the phone.

    If you take any photos (8MP is the only option) or video (1080P is the only option) you'll soon run out of memory.

    Terrible how fast time flies. I remember these being the most sophisticated mobile ever:
