    Hello,

    I'm on rolling 6 month contracts for quite a while now and only just realised that I can avail of a student HEANet deal.

    Do I need to approach a store about this? I was about to approach a store anyway to avail of an upgrade device as I've gone past 6 months.

    Can you outline what is best to do. End my current contract and start a new one or simply get upgraded kit and reduced price once I produce my student proof and proof of ID also.

    Adam,

    I'm in a chat now with Jeeva on the Eir website and they're saying that since Meteor became Eir that the student offer is gone. Ins tore in Navan they told me they couldn't process it for me as they had no sims and to contact CS.

    Can you clarify?

    Was / Is there a special HEAnet sim?
