Does anyone use eir mobile and if so, how do you find it? They’re a lot cheaper than my current provider (3) but I know they’re a shower of inept baboons when it comes to customer service on the landline/broadband front.

I don't know.

But try clear mobile for 15 bucks before you go for that daylight robbery

The quality of the phone service I've no complaints with.

I have had a few issues doing things on their website that I ended up needing to go into a shop for or call customer services. One when I wanted to change the card I'm billed on from my old Ulster Bank account to my new bank, had to go into a shop, and again when they said they'd start charging for posting out bills and the site wouldn't let me opt in to paperless billing, both issues were solved in the shop and over the phone respectively quite painlessly but they're things that I should have been able to do without any other person being involved.

I only signed up with them because they had virgin media sport as part of the package and that's gone now so I've been thinking of moving on from them myself if I can get a better plan.
 
That looks great but I need a new phone as part of the deal so will need to work out how much it is to buy a new phone and go with that plan versus getting a package.

Buying the phone on a plan is essentially financing the phone and will probably work out 10-15% more expensive then buying it on day 1. If you go that route be sure to set an alert on the phone for the day your contract is up and change it right then.

Sometimes - sometimes - in the past I’ve found this to not be the case. Definitely worth checking how the numbers work out.

I’m on the €9.99 Gomo thing and I don’t think it’ll ever be worth getting back into a contract.
 
I use them. I got it as part of a bundle with the broadband and the telly. Great value really. And the quality is deadly. I have better service here than I ever had with Vodafone or Three. I've also had no issues with their customer service. Apparently they are trying to boost that part of their image by putting more effort into listening to customers. I don't use their website but their app is the most user-friendly of any provider I've been with.

oh, and they also have the most generous EU roaming allowance (30GB). I was in spain for a number of weeks earlier this year and that came in most useful.

My current phone (an iPhone of some description) was cheaper on the plan when I worked it out last time but it’s all part of the excel file of doom.

I think sometimes it can work out if you get a just-released phone on contract, when the phone is at its most expensive? maybe?

I did one of those spreadsheets for all the companies 3 years ago when i got my iPhone 11 and it worked out cheaper to buy it outright vs 2 year contract, but I got it from a shop on Capel street for a couple of hundred quid less than Apple were charging at the time, sooo......

Added bonus: I'm now also far less inclined to jump to the latest phone (and get rolled over into a new 2 year contract) so i get more mileage.... might upgrade this year though if they switch to USB-C....

I never go for the latest phone; I always go for the older model as it’s usually a lot cheaper.
