Just to follow up here, I moved to Tesco Mobile and very happy with them. I'm on the €20 per month bill pay SIM only plan which includes unlimited data and minutes, plus 300 international minutes to a limited but useful (to me) selection of countries. I do use voicemail and there has been no charge.

A couple of hundred? Do you have an example? @Killter

Perhaps, yes. Fair point. But I'm not expecting great customer service. Acceptable would be... acceptable. But it has been woeful. Also don't forget that €10 per 30 days is not forever, it's only for the first year or so (although I still acknowledge that is very good) and after that it would be...

Thanks @demoivre , ever since your post I have been meaning to reply and never getting around to it, until now. This was a great suggestion and indeed I did move to Lycamobile, including porting my number over, which went fairly smoothly. I am using the 'Go Unlimited' plan which currently...

Tesco Mobile told me that it cost €0.20 per minute. I see that same figure on the following page but it's ambiguous to me whether it only applies to prepay (PAYG) or applies to bill pay also. https://www.tescomobile.ie/help-centre/getting-started/other-call-charges Edit: Do we have any Tesco...

@Thirsty asked had I looked at GoMo so I answered. But I can't see an option with them which includes international calls, so that rules them out for me. You're right though, the original question was which networks charge to call voicemail.

I presume you're on Tesco Mobile then @Protocol ? Are you on PAYG or bill pay? If the latter, do you keep a close eye on your bill?

Good suggestion, thanks. I already use WhatsApp extensively, including for WhatsApp calls. But I also need to be able to call several international landlines.

Yes, looked at GoMo but couldn't see any option to have any international minutes included. i.e. International calls are charged extra, per minute. We have family and friends in both US and UK so I make quite a lot of use of international minutes.

Context: I want a SIM only deal which includes international minutes plus the usual plenty of minutes, texts and data For this, my current provider (eir Mobile) reverts to €35 per month after any introductory period I can get 'unlimited' minutes, texts and data, with 300 international minutes...

Yes, and with an effective rate of approx. 0.84% after DIRT tax has been taken (I'm basing that on 33% DIRT for year 2020 and onwards) that puts it below even a State Savings 5 year savings certificate (although I know with that you have to commit for five years to get the full return, albeit...

I know I'm a bit late to the party here but might be worth mentioning, the KBC Extra Regular Saver currently gives 1.75% AER Variable (before the dreaded DIRT of course) and allows a lump sum of €10k to be put in at the start. But you can only get the Extra Regular Saver if you can get the Extra...

On the page https://www.askaboutmoney.com/threads/regular-savings-accounts.20747/ it looks like the KBC: Extra Regular Saver details are correct and up to date but the KBC: Regular Saver Account section also mentions a 2.5% rate a couple of times. I don't have that latter account but I'm pretty...

Interesting. Do you have a link to the original article please, fistophobia?

Ah, I wasn't chasing an apology! :) But fair play to you.

We digress from the thread topic, but joking aside, I think that's too cynical, unfortunately, and assumes that most academics are driven primarily by publicity. I'm not an academic but I highly doubt that's true. I know academics rely on sufficient funding and publicity may help to bring that...

Can you cite any academic research to back up that claim, Colm? ;):D

Can anyone point me to any recent summary of US online brokers who accept Irish residents? From reading through many other threads, I gather that E-Trade (E*TRADE) and Firstrade may be options, but I've not found any one, single thread that summarises/compares them and maybe other brokers too.

Hi Marc, thanks for this. I thought that because I am non-domiciled in Ireland and I have never remitted anything from that Cash ISA into Ireland (not a penny) I was not liable to any tax on it. Are you saying that because it's a bank account the rules are different from other types of foreign...

Ah, I see, thanks.
