    Hi all,

    I've had a look at the charter and don't believe this is in conflict with anything. I run a small tech site and have just created a tool for working out whether bill pay or pre pay is better value. It's not perfect, but if you could have a look, comment, share and give some feedback, I'd appreciate it!

    The concept of comparing Pre-pay with Post-pay is sound. However, you seem to be missing some of the best plans available. eg Meteor "Super 4G" - €24pm Unlimited Voice & Data & 10GB data (5GB after 6 months).

    The problem with most comparison sites is that they focus mainly on the basic tariff. In practice there are many other factors which should be assessed in choosing a plan.
    • Does the plan support tethering at no extra cost?
    • Does the operator offer free texts via a mobile app - if so you may be able to choose a plan without normal texts.
    • What are the roaming charges like - particularly data?
    • What is the operator's coverage like?
    • Is 4G widely available?
    • Is HD Voice available?
    • Is it necessary to manually select national roaming while at home?
    • Is there a bundle option available which offers a discount if you combine Broadband, Phone, TV & Mobile?

    Top feedback!

    This is BETA for want of a better phrase to oust the illusion of "free" bill pay initially, but I will definitely take this on board in improvements.
