[Switcher.ie](http://www.switcher.ie/mobiles/) * * * ## Editor’s Choice I started with [Three’s All-You-Can-Eat](http://www.three.ie/shop/plans/prepay-phone-plans.html) plan in the beginning and then switched to [48.ie](http://www.48.ie). This move reduced my bill from €20 to €10.99 and the only difference was my network data changed from unlimited to 100 GB per month. It was a wise choice for me because, my consumption is around 3 GB per month. I had no connection issue, and it just works so far. * * * ### Support yourself and us! ❤️ Want a free 48 membership and a €10 Uber Eats voucher? It’s easy.
