Using Data
Data charges
Data is charged in two ways; it is either included in your plan or you are charged by what you use.
You may have a certain amount of data included in your plan and if you go over this you will be charged the daily rate.

Watching videos or listening to music on your phone can eat into your data allowances quickly. It is best to access video based sources (such as Netflix and music/radio streaming) over WiFi to ensure you won't be charged.
Monitor my data usage
You can check your usage online or by SMS
- Check your data usage in my eir or by downloading the my eir app

Usage warning
To help prevent you from going over your data allowance, you will get a warning text when you’re at 80% and again at 100%.
