Ask anything about your SIM.

Partly. An AI model (OpenAI’s gpt-6-luna) reads your question and answers only from IrishSim’s own guides, with a link to each page it used. When you say what you need (data, eSIM, travel, contract), it fills in the plan finder, which lists every plan that fits, cheapest first year first. Plans and prices always come from IrishSim’s data, never from the AI.

IrishSim has no plan of its own and sells nothing. Ask IrishSim is an AI helper: it answers from IrishSim’s guides and fills in the plan finder, which compares every current SIM-only plan from the Irish providers it covers.

No. It explains what to look at and which plans fit what you said, with links to the pages it used; the choice stays with you, on the provider’s own page.

Start from how much data you really use (your phone’s settings show last month), check coverage where you live on ComReg’s map, then compare the first-year cost rather than the monthly price, because intro prices and activation fees change the total. The plan finder does that sum for every plan.

Yes. There is no sign-up and no fee. Each question costs IrishSim a fraction of a cent, so there is a daily limit; above it, the plan finder and the guides still work.

There is no single best SIM: it depends on how much data you use, whether your phone needs eSIM, how often you are abroad, whether a contract is fine and which network works where you live. Tell the assistant those in one sentence, or answer them in the plan finder. IrishSim never picks a plan for you and takes no commission.

Ask here, or read new to Ireland: which networks you can buy before you arrive, where to buy at Dublin Airport, whether you need ID, and how to pay from a foreign bank account.

A general chatbot answers from what it learned, which may be out of date or about another country. Ask IrishSim answers only from IrishSim’s pages, where every price and fact names its source and the date it was checked, and it says so when IrishSim does not cover something.

It is kept with your IP address, country and city, and sent to OpenAI to write the answer. The details are on the privacy page.
