Best Mobile Price Plan Deals

briang747

Not sure if there is a thread regarding this already but I thought it could be helpful to a lot of people, myself included; What are the best deals currently out there with mobile phone networks? My 12 month contract with Vodafone is up end of the month. Currently €25/month for Sim only with unlimited calls and texts and 2GB of data.
Thanks

Three pay as you go.
20e gives you. Unlimited texts and 4g internet and unlimited calls to others on the 3o2 network. You can spend your 20 how you like then on apps etc.
I think it is great value

Check out the app KillBiller. I think it is only available on Android at the moment (and only looks at Bill Pay) but it analyses your phone usage and tells you what plan you should be on based on that usage. Saved me a few quid when I switched.

There is a thread someone went to the bother of doing every deal and what you can get. Cba linking it. Sure you could google boards sim deals

this doesnt seem to give you unlimited texts.
only unlimited texts to other tesco users

anyone know how much per text they charge?
also how much for extra data?

TheDriver

Ah lad, its all on their website. You top up by 15 euro and then get 2 recurring addons- 10 for texts and 5 for data. Hence 15 is then gone. There's a 5gb data for ten euro.
Roaming rates seem in line with other operators

Three Business Sim only - €20pm = unlimited everything.

edit : that's what I'm on - looks like the same package is now gone up to €30.

so that's what the merger between Three and O2 means - higher prices for the same (or even less) service.

Are you able to set this all up to happen automatically every month or do you have to manually top up 15 then buy a 5gb addon and unlimited sms addon and have to remember to do it every single month manually?

I changed to Three's Flexi 350 plan (€20/month - 350 flexi units and unlimited data) from Meteor a month ago. Lasted 2 weeks. Have never been on the end of such a litany of cock ups and poor signal. took about 2-hours overall on the phone to about half a dozen different people, and bounced constantly between call centres in India and Ireland.

Changed then to Tesco Mobile plan (€25/month unlimited everything) and couldn't be happier.

I changed from a brutal emobile service. Coverage was really bad having to go outside and stand in certain spots in the garden to make/receive a call.

I'm with Tesco now on that €15 pm and cant believe the coverage I now get. I can make calls indoors now!!

More than half the price and a far superior service I have found.

Can you tether on Tesco ?

TheDriver

you can set up recurring addons so yes and also you can set up your debit/credit card to automatically top up on designated days.

Yup. I'm not actually aware of any network that can restrict this. Is there?

TheDriver

48 months don't allow it

unlimited calls to any network or landline? Sounds good if it is. I will be ditching 3 at the end of next month

Tesco use O2 don't they? Now that Three own them the signal coverage should be the same.

That's what I thought. Perhaps they're still in a transition period, But in both my own house and parents house the signal was terrible, when at the same time other networks were fine.

TheDriver

Fair usage is indeed 10000 minutes which would nearly be a call centre. Its 5 hours a day nattering......
