Hello everyone
After lots of research i am not coming up with good tariffs and conditions for ROI sim cards. Hope you can help me!
I live in N. Ireland and want to get a Rep. of Ireland sim card as I am there frequently and the UK sim I have to use in the north is too costly to make and receive calls in the south (it's also extremely costly in NI, 35p/min. Vodafone)
My phone will take any card.
I would be making local calls (maybe the odd one to UK ).
Top-ups need to be convenient.

Also I do not want one where the credit has to be used up by a certain date or else there is a penalty,
or one which demands a minimum monthly top-up.

It needs to be with a company that has a good all-Ireland coverage.
Does anyone have any info on talk-as-you go sim cards with the best
tariffs for daytime calls and no cost to receive calls, including from the UK if possible.
Thank you. I will be in Rep. of Ireland this weekend, if you know of a good shop in Dublin to get it.
Many many thanks,
All the best,
Heather.
