eir Broadband Talk
eir Broadband Talk is an innovative
new service which uses fi bre
broadband instead of a traditional
home phone line to make and
receive calls. Your home phone line
is simply plugged into the back of
your modem instead of into your
phone socket.
You’ll enjoy exactly the same
quality of service as a standard
landline phone but with the added
bonus of being able to make calls
from your smartphone, tablet
or laptop using the home phone
minutes in your eir bundle. This
means you can use your home
phone account when you’re out
and about! For information on
how to Setup your eir Broadband
Talk go to eir.ie/eirbroadbandtalk

And what’s even better, it takes
the hassle out of you having to
look for your password when your
friends and family visit, as they
will automatically connect to your
WiFi. Don’t worry your personal
information will be totally safe
and secure and data usage won’t
be aff ected. Simply log into my eir
to register.

active, check that the power cable
is connected securely and that the
Smart WiFi Hub is powered on.

provide a true representation of
the broadband speed coming
into your house. If your speeds

devices from WiFi and run a speed
test over WiFi with a single device
connected.
