Note that each flex unit can be used as one minute of phonecalls or two texts (so 350 flex units can be used for 350 minutes of calls or 250 minutes of calls and 200 text etc.)

^‡You can choose one of the following add-ons:

Unlimited Landline Calls. Unlimited calls to all ROI landlines. 1
Down Time Calls. 150 evening & weekend minutes to any ROI mobiles or landlines.
Call N.America. Pay only 20c per minute to call landlines and mobiles in the USA and Canada.
Call Down Under. Pay only 38c per minute to call landlines and mobiles in Australasia.
Call Europe. Pay only 26c per minute to call landlines and mobiles in Europe.
Text All. 150 texts per month to any ROI mobile network.
Internet Mini. 500MB of data.
Internet Max. 2GB of data.

The three deals are looking like far better value than the O2 and Vodafone bundles, but three are notorious for their poor customer service. Its likely that three are trying to build their customer base by undercutting the other operators, let’s see what happens tomorrow!

you might be looking for this post: Comparison of iPhone 4 price plans on Vodafone, Three and O2.

When I heard that Vodafone would be offering the iPhone in Ireland in 2010, I signed up to the news mailing list to get informed of any announcements. Vodafone phoned today to offer an early subscription to the iPhone before it rolls out fully in the near year (I presume they called everyone on their mailing list, I’m not special!). Here’s some of the price plan details:

Plan 1: €35 per month. 16GB iPhone 3Gs costs €199.No included any network minutes or texts.
Plan 2: €49.99 per month. 16GB iPhone 3Gs costs €199. 150 any network minutes, 150 any network texts.
Plan 3: €64.99 per month. 16GB iPhone is ‘free’. 300 any network minutes, 300 any network texts.

Each of these options include 2GB of data download per month, free Vodafone calls and are subject to an 18 month minimum contract. There are more expensive options available but I didn’t get the details.

Looks like Vodafone might give O2 a run for their money.
