Just to make people aware, I have recently discovered that several older relatives have been paying monthly rental fees for Telecom Éireann phones for the past 20+ years. It costs them approximately €30 per phone per year.
I understand that they signed up for it, caveat emptor, etc. but it is a total waste of money. None of the phones have been used in years and they presumed that the original phones had just been paid off, like a buy to rent.
I called eircom and cancelled immediately. They asked me to post back the handsets by freepost, which I will do, but the phones are so old and dilapidated I can only imagine they plan to offload them to a museum or antique shop!
