Mobile Phone Providers

Ha, good luck with that one. I've been down here 4/5 years and have never managed that one.

I've found that the best network is the one most of your mates (down South) are on. I was on Meteor while at college and had free calls and texts to fellow Meteor customers plus I could get a Meteor reception in Derry so it worked out well for me but I'm actually changing to o2 on Tuesday because I know a lot fewer on Meteor these days and more on o2. This all only relates to pay-as-you-go phone though, I'm not going on bill pay anymore after Three took me for all I was worth last year

Why dont you sign up for the free texts to any network with Meteor. €20 a month to keep them so you just pay for calls. Learn to be scabby and just text your mates!

Just be advised that 3 is an awful provider, the very worst of a very bad lot in the Republic. There's a 100 page thread about their "broadband" service on Boards.ie, might be worth deliving into for the general skinny on how they operate.

Cheers for the heads up.

I would disagree on Three being an awful provider dahamsta. I'd concur on the broadband but I have no problem with them on the phone front and the rates are quite reasonable.

I'm not a customer Stu, and they're all bad in Ireland, I'm just saying that I wouldn't become a customer of Three based on the feedback I've read on the net. Broadband is the key issue as you say, but their responsiveness to the complaints suggests a major problem with customer service, which is a key factor for me.

Well I'd have customer service issues with all providers so the deciding factors for me are how good the network is and the value for money. They come out fine in the first instance and quite well in the second.
