Confused About Minimum Buy-In for Meteor Data in Ireland

[ronwi]

I also looked into Tesco Mobile, which now uses 3G data.

The attraction is that they have very cheap calls to the US - 2 cents per minute, within Ireland 10 cents per minute (the official rate is 20 cents, but they double your top-up for Irish calls):

The problem with them is that while they have a decently priced data bundles, when you use up the bundle rather than charging 2 cents per MB as does Meteor they charge 79 cents per MB!

There is an option to have 250 MB free on top-up by €20, but that's probably more than you need to add

Depending on how many days you're there, the other networks also have some bundles, like €5 for 500 MB on 3, or €10 for 700 MB on O2
