If you use your mobile phone to make a lot  of calls to landlines – it could end up costing you a lot of money. Some mobile pre-pay or PAYG packages charge as much as 29c per minute for calls to landlines.

If you use your mobile phone for a lot of call minutes  to landlines -  then you should look at Meteor who are doing a “Free Anytime Any Network” deal on prepay. If you top up by €30  amonth you get up to 5000 minutes of calls to any network including landlines.

Three Ireland is probably the next best option – the Three Classic Flex. costs  €35 a month  and you get 500 flex units. Each unit can be used for a 1 minute call or 2 text messages. So 500 units will get you 400 minutes of calls and 200 text messages. (Calls to other 3 mobiles do not use up your units.) You also get a free add on – and the best one in this case would be free unlimited landline calls. (normally €4.99 a month).
