Confused About Minimum Buy-In for Meteor Data in Ireland

[ronwi]

I understand that mobile numbers are more expensive to call. My point was that the roaming SIMS frequently have mobile numbers in special prefixes in the UK that are more expensive to call than ordinary UK Mobile numbers.

If you call an Irish Meteor or Tesco Mobile number from US or elsewhere, it is likely to be more expensive than calling an Irish landline number. Probably similar to calling a UK mobile. Hence, buying an Irish SIM may not save a lot for your callers. It does mean that you don't have to worry about roaming charges for incoming calls on your own bill, however.
