    You won't get too far if you can't spell business! :D Only joking

    Anyway personally I'd say Vodafone is better. But it depends on how much you intend on spending, are you gonna have a few mobiles on the account?

    Probably about 4 phones and 2 blackberry's. Has anyone got any experience dealing with either company. Does anyone know what business packages meteor offer.

    I think I'd go either with O2 or Meteor...depends where you're likely to be calling most. Some of Meteor's plans include calls to UK landlines and mobiles in your monthly minutes package, which is a definite advantage over O2 and Vodafone who charge anything between €0.35 - €0.60 a minute for these calls.

    Shacko, I started my own business a short time ago and like yourself, I am anxious to keep my telecom costs down (they can very easily creep up)

    Our landlines are with Pure Telecom ( www.puretelecom.ie ). We use the landlines very heavily and have 4 lines. Our spend for last month was 61 euro for all lines. Also instead of 4 individual lines we upgraded to 2 ISDN lines. There was a free upgrade offer but ask Pure about it. they arranged it for me. As you can see I speak very highly of this company - the best I have dealt with so far. We are still paying line rental to Eircom seperately.

    Mobiles - Our mobiles are now with Meteor. It was a very close call between Vodafone and Meteor, but felt Meteor was cheaper and provided better service to business. I have just started a "cooling off period" with them. If I'm not happy we move within 2 months. But call their business manager out to see you and NEGOTIATE. You might get deals of free car kits etc that could make the deal all the more tempting.

    Broadband - We use Irish Broadband. I hear a lot of negatives about them but again I find them great.

    One other thing, get a good accounts package - get it early to save time and hassle down the road.

    The very best of luck to you with the business. There will be a lot of headaches on the way but it is enjoyable. It will take at least 5 years before you get the life you had back :>)
