I'm thinking of switching to a bundle with UPC from Eircom. Just a question about using the UPC phone system. Presently I have 3 Eircom phone connections in different rooms in my house using three phones. If I switch to UPC do I use wireless technology if I wish to continue with 3 phones in 3 different rooms or do I have to run new cables from the new UPC box on the wall to all 3 new phones?
 
No cables. Its all wireless. You get one with the package and you can buy some more for around 25euro each. They work anywhere in house. no wiring. the wireless modem is attached to the main box.

If you don't want to go wireless.............
Just run a cable from the UPC router to one of the sockets, make sure that you have disconnected the incoming Eircom cable and all sockets should work as before.
 
Ask around your area first to make sure the phone works okay. We had to cancel the contract as telephone calls were not getting through to us. Neighbours in the area had the same problem.

I thought that there was a once off charge of €15 for the phone with UPC? Does anyone know if there is some sort of monthly rental charge after this?

What the runner was talking about was that you don't have to actually buy the phone from upc....you can buy your own cordless phone....

He said you get one with the package.....I just wanted to clarify if this one was free or if you had to pay €15 for it.

It's not free. You dont get a phone with the package you have to buy that from UPC for €15 or you can buy your own.
 
Or you just continue to use your existing phone by plugging it into the router. If you already have a cordless phone, you can continue to use it.
