Add a bill pay dongle

Tigerandahalf

Hi

I have fibre cabinet broadband with eir.
I have a pre paid dongle with eir but I want to add it to bill pay.

I think I can get 25gb for €20 p/m.

Is there a bar to stop going over that amount?

How can I add extra data if needed?

I want it all on the one my eir account.

Thanks

Hi Tigerandahalf, 

If you click on this link it will outline the different mobile broadband plans that are available. 

We have two plans available. The first gives 25GB of data per month and costs €20. The second plan gives 50GB of data per month and costs €30. The contract is for 6 months. 

In regard to a bar, it would not be possible to block you going over the allowance but you will be able log onto your my eir account and check what your remaining allowance is. 

If you go into an eir store and bring identification with you they can add the broadband dongle plan to your eir account.

I won't bother if that is the case. I have always been able to put a bar on my phone's data and top up extra if needed. That is with vodafone though.

I will just stick to pay as you go since you can't offer that level of service.

Thanks for your help.

It cuts you off when you reach the 25gb limit and displays a page offering you add ons so you can't exceed the limit without agreeing to it

Can we get eir to confirm this as this is what happens with the pay as you go option.

Hi tigerandahalf, 

When you reach your allowance on your broadband a message will display on your broadband dashboard advising that you have reached your allowance. It will then give you an option to continue and incur out of bundle charges or you can choose to add a data add-on. 

I hope this clears this up.

I use the dongle for long trips in the car. The kids use it and I have the dongle stored away in the car. If I don't touch the dongle will it stop once it reaches the limit?

The dongle is a small huawei so I am not sure if it can display when the data is finished.

I just want 2 things -

The dongle to stop once it reaches its limit (so I don't incur extra charge)

The ability to top up the dongle with extra data if needed (just like on my bill pay phone).

Thanks

Hi Tigerandahalf, 

Once the allowance has been used up on the dongle it will stop working. 

The only way that you can get the internet to work again is to agree to buy an add-on

Is it possible to go bill pay online? There isn't an option to sign up without getting a dongle.

Also how would you add on extra data if needed? Through the dongle or through the webpage?

Thanks

Hi Tigerandahalf, 

If you want to add the broadband dongle bill to your eir account you will need to do this in a store. 

Just advise the store that you already have the dongle.
