    My other half signed up to meteor last week, 25 a month for 1gb and 200 mins + 200 texts . She got a HTC desire s for 49 euro too. I thought it was a great deal, nearly sure its 18months too. Meteor knock a river a month off the price online but if you mention that in the shop they'll give it to you there also

    I take it you don't use Sky GO app??? Major fault with 3. Perhaps the only one but it's a biggy. Doesn't work on 3G but fine on Wi-Fi.

    No problems at all, fire ahead. My Irish phone works out better value in the UK than my UK pay-as-you-go 3 phone.

    I left O2 to go to 3 (again) a few months back to get the iPhone 4. Don't have any problems except for some reason in my house the signal isn't great (Lucan) compared to with O2. But it's okay. On the otherside, I streamed LFC v Bolton through liveonlinefooty over 3G at a wedding up in the mountains in Wicklow no bother - that was awesome :cool:

    Are Three using the Vodafone network or do they have their own network?
