    Being sent from pillar to post for a while now and can't seem to get a simple account move done. Another 30 minutes just wasted on your chat app with two separate people who firstly got someone else in a different department and then the other said to ring 1901.

    When I did that, I get a message saying they are closed... at 15.40..

    Is it possible to have someone actually deal with a customer to the point of actually resolving the issue, which seems to be related to your internal systems and processes, bearing in mind i have been sent to a store twice in relation to this and have been onto support or sales 5 or 6 times at this stage.

    Just got the same message, Our call centre is currently closed, our opening hours are 8am to 6pm monday to Friday. 

    Also this is to try and resolve an Eir cock up that I thought I'd resolved last week re a final bill.

    Very frustrating.

    I've been trying to get an issue resolved since 27th August. The call centre only opens during business hours and I'm unable to waste time on the phone to them during work.

    So I decide to finish work early to finally get it resolved and I call at 16:35 to discover everyone has fecked off home!!!
    I'm regretting making the decision to switch to eir!!!!!

    just before i do that. here is a summary of today.

    Over 1 hour on the phone to 1901 customer care. End result - to tell me to go to store as what I need done can only be done there.
    Store - They put €1 on the prepay card that I need to switch my billpay account to, to then be able to put my existing number on that payg sim, to then be able to switch that payg account to a bill pay account to avail of the discount(misfortune) of also being a broadband and landline customer.
    But they cannot switch the number over, I need to ring customer care for that.
    Ring customer care again, they have a different version and their systems cant switch the number over, I need to go to a store to do that.

    Are you people for real?

    pm sent just now. had also sent pm to tracey yesterday after the last post.

    Don't have any other option at present. 1901 - say go to store. Store say ring 1901.. and in the meantime i am being billed at a 2 x rate..


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭A2LUE42


    I don't know why I bothered...

    'Hi Mark,
    If you are looking to bundle a new SIM only plan with your landline and broadband then you would need to contact our sales team on 1901 and they will advise you further.
    Thanks,
    Sarah'


    So, seems to have completely missed the part where I have been trying to do this for the last month and having now reached an impasse where 1901 are saying they cant do anything , go to the store and vice versa..


    Can someone out there advise what alternative sim only plan would be available(From another provider), because this just doesn't seem to be worth the effort?


    Looking for sim only, unlimited minutes and text with 15GB + of data.

    Hi Mark,

    I have responded to your PM. When I receive the requested info I will do my best to get to the bottom of this and get you a resolution.

    Thanks,

    Sarah

    and still not a peep in response from eir... shocking customer service, if it could even be called customer service to just ignore your customers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭A2LUE42


    finally an update.... only problem with this is that 1901 and the store don't seem to be aware of these magical possibilities...


    [font=Arial, sans-serif]In order to, change your, mobile number to the new plan, your first need to change the plan of your mobile to prepay number.[/font][font=Arial, sans-serif] To change from bill pay to prepay you need to visit the nearby store or if you have a new prepay SIM with a number with it you can call our team at 1901 and they will help you with porting over from bill pay to prepay first and it will take 24 hours for the order to be completed[/font]


    I have a new sim, have had for several weeks at this stage..
    but neither the store or 1901 seem able to do anything and both have repeatedly told me that only the other can resolve it..


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,541 ✭✭✭A2LUE42


    hello...... anyone there who is able to do something other than not read the issue and give useless information that contradicts what the store and 1901 say.. in that both refuse to do anything?
