Website to help mobile phone users get best deal

MOBILE phone users will soon be able to find out whether they are getting the best deal available, thanks to an interactive website operated by Comreg.

The website will ask phone users to answer questions relating to their phone usage and, after calculating all the different rates across the various phone operators, will then offer a comparative analysis between the networks.

The telecommunications watchdog will launch the website, www.callcosts.ie, this Thursday, and will provide a ready comparison of overall costs, including the various tariff options, offered by Vodafone, O2, Meteor and 3. A spokesman for Comreg said the site would help consumers to decide whether they were getting the best deal on their mobile.
