How is the first-year cost worked out?

Twelve monthly payments, or thirteen for plans charged every 28 days, plus any activation or SIM fee, with introductory prices counted only for as long as they last. It is what you would actually pay in your first twelve months, and each card shows the sum so you can check it yourself.

The second line on each card is the second year: the regular price for twelve months, or thirteen 28-day periods, with no activation fee. Plans whose intro price ends inside the first year often cost much more from month 13, so read both lines before you switch.

Fixed yearly rises are counted too: eir, Three and Vodafone bill pay plans add €2.50 a month each April, from the first April after you join, so the card shows the months before and after it.

What is the best SIM-only plan in Ireland?

There is no single best plan: it depends on how much data you use, whether you travel, whether your phone needs an eSIM and which network works where you live. The finder shows every plan that fits your answers, cheapest first year first, and says why the others were left out, so you can judge the trade-offs yourself.

What is the cheapest SIM-only plan in Ireland?

Over the first year, Tesco Mobile €10 SIM Only at €120, among plans open to anyone, out of 38 plans from 12 providers checked on 11 October 2026. With unlimited data, the cheapest first year is 48 Unlimited 5G at €147.87. Intro prices and activation fees change the order, so the finder counts both.

Lidl Connect is counted at its official €12.99 a month. The €8.99 launch price was reported by the press for the first 100,000 customers and is not in Lidl's official price list, so the finder does not assume you will get it.

How much mobile data do I need?

Look at last month on your phone: on iPhone, Settings › Mobile Service; on Android, Settings › Network › Data usage. Messages, calls and maps rarely pass 5GB; social media and some video usually stay under 20GB. Daily video can use 20 to 80GB; a laptop hotspot or HD streaming much more, which is when unlimited data pays.

Which SIM-only plan with eSIM is cheapest?

On first-year cost, Sky Mobile 10GB Plan at €120. The finder only counts eSIM as available when the provider says so on its own pages; "Not stated" means we did not find it there, not that the answer is no. Check whether your phone takes an eSIM with our phone check on the where-to-buy page.

Which network is best where I live?

It depends on your address. Ireland has three networks, eir, Vodafone and Three, and every other provider uses one of them, so plans on the same network share the same masts. ComReg’s coverage map shows the signal each network gives at your Eircode; check it before you choose a network in the finder.

Prepay or bill pay: which is cheaper?

Neither is always cheaper. Prepay plans are topped up before you use them and some renew every 28 days, which is thirteen payments a year, about 8% more than the same price monthly. Bill pay plans are charged monthly, sometimes with a 12-month contract and an annual price rise each April.

How much roaming data do the plans include?

Each plan has its own EU and UK roaming allowance, from 5GB to 80GB, and some have no fixed allowance, only fair use. If you are often away, answer "Often or for long stays" and the finder keeps only plans with 30GB or more. Above the allowance, providers charge a small fee per GB under EU fair-use rules.

How does IrishSim choose the plans it shows?

It shows every current consumer SIM-only plan from the 12 providers it covers, read from each provider's own pages, with the date it was checked. IrishSim takes no commission and has no affiliate links: the order is the first-year cost and nothing else, and every button goes to the provider's official page.

Refer-a-friend offers shown on the cards are the providers' own schemes (48 and Clear Mobile); IrishSim gets nothing from them.

Frequently asked questions

Is anything I choose in the plan finder sent to IrishSim?

No. The finder runs in your browser and keeps your answers in the address bar so you can share the link. The page has no form, sets no cookies and sends nothing you choose to IrishSim or anyone else.

Why is Lidl Connect shown at €12.99 and not €8.99?

Because €12.99 is the only price in 1GLOBAL's official price list. The €8.99 launch price was reported by the press for the first 100,000 customers; if you get it, your first year costs €48 less than the card shows.

How often are the prices in the plan finder checked?

Each card shows the date its price was checked on the provider’s own page. The release process refuses to publish when any checked date is more than 30 days old.

What if no plan matches all my answers?

The finder leaves out one answer, starting with the least important, and shows the three cheapest plans that fit the rest. It says which answer it left out, and you can change any answer.

Does IrishSim earn money if I sign up?
