Thinking to change one of my numbers to three
My UK number is three can't fault them but I don't use them enough to know
Looking at pre paid the fact there is unlimited data
I'd use what ap messenger for nearly 90% of personal communication
Anyone with three how's the coverage service etc
Three network

Boon on 3 for years, contract though. Never have an issue getting data even out in the sticks of Donegal, and months when I'm away from home tethered to the laptop I've hammered them for 100GB+ a month plus and not had an issue. If you're just using data use the UK one since you can use your allowance in most of the world on 3 at no extra cost.

Best coverage is either Eir or Vodafone, Three is a nightmare in some locations and it's no wonder they give you all you can eat, the coverage is so bad you'll give up half the time, forget watching netflix or youtube, just about good enough to browse the web..

You're obviously in a sweat spot, I can't even get 1mb connection where I live, middle of the night maybe, the rest of the time it's .5mb at best.

16-10-16, 15:11Oh Kevin
Three is patchy and unreliable.
Remember Three do give hell of lot of data but reliability/coverage is poor while vodafone, meteor / Eir are skinflints with data but you get the greater coverage so all you got to do now is decide what appeals to you more -
16-10-16, 15:20Rachel DivineI had to upgrade from a plan to a more expensive one cause they were charging me for extra data.Quote:

I use EE for my reg phone and 3 for my floozie phone. My reg phone has no signal, but the floozie one is great where I live. In Ireland my phone is still classed as o2 and works fine and that is pay as you go. I don't really use them for data though.

I use 3 and when talking to escorts it sometimes cuts off and then they get the hump and think i cut them off
'Why you close the phone on me you ******' -
16-10-16, 17:10funlover12
do half of you complaining realise three took over o2 last year or whenever and o2 had the best coverage for decades before that so its hard to see how (o2 now three) they went from best coverage to worst coverage
Im guessing most complaining work for vodafone? -

My Vodafone dongle stopped working. I went to 3 and got one, 35 euro for 20 Gb... while Vodafone was 20 euro for 7 Gb. Now, in order to get the 20 Gb, I have to top up twice. 20 euro and another 20 because there no 5 euro top up online. At the end of the month, in my account was 0 euro ( instead of those 5 euro from the 40) , 0 data. So .... rip off.
Regarding coverage, thought Vodafone is bad, but 3 is much worse.
And on top of that, they don't have to take their clothes off. :( -

I'm on three and switched from 02 because of the all you can eat data on prepaid 4 year ago and I find it better in towns and cities that the country but I nevar had any problems I did try Vodafone and it ate all my data and I went back probably depends on what phone you use too I'm not that big in tech but HTC works for me on three
-
16-10-16, 19:02howardsteeleyou're better off just buying a 3 PAYG sim card and top up by 20euro where you get free weekend calls ( hence why i only visit escorts at the weekend :D) and 55gb of data and you get to keep your 20euro too, I tether it to my laptop, Not as good as meteor ( meteor 3g is faster than 4g in leitrim) or Vodafone on coverage but gets me by for college work and the amount of data is greatQuote:

I've been with 3 for years on bill pay. I sometimes use my hotspot in an apartment or hotel that has wifi cos the signal is far stronger. I'd recommend :)
-
16-10-16, 19:14Curvaceous KateThat reminds me, when I had a place in Ireland I had one of these http://www.vodafone.ie/mobile-broadband/ and I topped it up 20e per month and it was enough to keep me going without having to spend any more. Prices may have changed since then as it is over a year ago that I did that.Quote:

16-10-16, 19:20howardsteeleWas not that long ago Vodafone only give 5gb on PAYG, Wouldn't last a crack when watching porn and then it would start buffering on the good bits :(Quote:

I have just changed to 3 €20topup from Vodafone Bill pay.
I thought posts 24 & 25 summed it up very well.
I would say it will be OK for your location AT.
However some very bad comments on the discussion forum www.boards.ie -

does 3 still have censorship
cant access EI :(
adult content filter
do any other providers have same -
17-10-16, 09:33anon361Even if they do it's just a matter of calling them up to have it removed. Happened me years ago, didn't think it was still default policy.Quote:

17-10-16, 10:27Best BeforeI used to be on this network about 4 years ago. Found it good down the country partically because there were offered the government contract to all the shit holes in ireland. Their coverage in the city was a bit hit and miss. Not as good as Meteor/Eir that's the network I'm on now. But having said that they are crap down the country. It's swings and roundabout if you ask me. If your looking for best value for data, you should check "48months" out they have unlimited whats-app messaging, something you and Sophie are very found off ;)Quote:
