The Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) is responsible for the regulation of the electronic communications sector. As part of its remit to inform consumers, ComReg operates a website called www.callcosts.ie. This site is a free, up-to date, easy to use and independent website that covers most telephone, mobile and broadband plans available in Ireland. The Callcosts website helps people to compare the cost of different plans available for their home phone, mobile and broadband services. Many providers offer different types of plans and sometimes it may be difficult for consumers to pick the best one to suit their needs. This ComReg-operated website callcosts.ie is a useful place for consumers to go for comparison of providers and offerings. Unlike a printed directory, the website may be updated easily and quickly to account for telephone companies either exiting or entering the market.
