MORE Mobile set to launch soon?

siezetheday

A mate of mine told me about a new Mobile operator starting in Ireland soon. They're looking for testers on moremobile.ie

Anyone know about this?

Any word on what date and month and details yet?

Timmaay

Hmm I sent them an email about being a tester a few weeks back but have heard nothing back from them.

drunkmonkey

It's probably going to be an MVNO, the same company have something similar in the UK.
I think any MVNO is waisting their time here, the pre pay market is already saturated with cut throat deals. They'd need to be prepared to loose a lot of money to get market share.

The UK site is here http://annecto.com/

The Real B-man

With a Site like that i wouldn't touch them the African Scammers do a better job!

Any chance they would be another giffgaff. £10 for 250 mins + unlimited texts + unlimited data. No Irish network can come within an asses roar of that tarriff. See www.giffgaff.com. If only...............:)

GreenWolfe

They're getting a bit desperate, I think.

I was halfway through entering my own info when I noticed that. Nope, not doing that!

god's toy

They have a twittter account too. so far Two followers! (i'm one of them!)
@more3G

They cant port any number without your permission.. or can they? I filled out the forum but from what I could see it was contact info only not porting, as in no t's and C's anywhere.
Hmm I dont want to use my every day mobile number but I have a few spare numbers I'd be happy to port over to them.

Random

where does it say they are porting? where are you getting this from?

cookie1977

I too don't see anything about porting and if they did port you on the info you supplied there to them, comreg would rip them apart. There's no mention of porting and for bill pay users they don't ask for your account number. I presume they'll send you a sim with credit if you win.

Anyway I registered for the look see.

Davy

It does say you can give as much info as you like, so don have to fill in your number if you don't want too

JTMan

Everything points towards this been 3's first MVNO here.

Owryan

Whats MVNO ?

JTMan

Mobile virtual network operator. An operator that piggy backs on someone else's network. For example, Tesco Mobile.

Mobile Virtual Network Operator

Owryan

Ah right thanks. Suppose thr best we csn hope for is they will drive down prices a bit more .

I replied to their email & said that unless they can match the Giffgaff model in the UK, they could forget about having any effect here.

Arent three already using vodafones network , how can they let someone use theirs with all the coverage issues it has . Im a three customer and I find their coverage a disaster . How can a new service even consider piggy backing on them ?

Kristopherus

Well Three is 3g only. They are the only network that is. Whether they have enough capacity to accomadate a mvno is the big question. Doubtful if Three can eek enough money money from moremobile to make big improvements to its network. That leaves the possibility of even more people having reception problems.

3 Don't have 100% 3G coverage, so I don't see how it could be them unless Moremobile was also going to piggyback on 3's Vodafone roaming agreement. Seems a bit messy. They have the capacity for a lot more Voice as it is and capacity is increasing for data with fiber connection currently being rolled out to a lot of sites and hopefully new spectrum in the new year.
I reckon it's o2 or Vodafone again. Seems like it's going to be an mvno for cheap international calls more that anything, could be something sold in spar and airports for foreign visitors, don't see anything game changing yet.

cookie1977

Nothing game changing so far I agree but nice to see another operator entering the market in (if the intl. calls is the key grab) a niche sector. They could do well.

Kristopherus

Well O2 could do with their business, I suppose. Might make up for all the customers that are leaving them.

I tried that and it gave me an error. I just gave them a blatantly fake number instead.

I caved, and sent a reply out of sheer curiosity. That's what I'd like out of them too. Can't see it happening though.

I wonder how much of that market has Skype took over? The only niche there would be for countries that have mostly wireless communications networks and poor/inaccessible internet imo.

Skype has won the desktop VOIP war, it is loosing the mobile VOIP war. The market is getting split between Viber, What's app, Hey Tell, Google Talk, MSN Messenger, Blackberry Messenger and Skype itself.

JTMan

It is now as good as confirmed that More Mobile are on the 3 network.

More Mobile are only following one network on Twitter and that is 3. https://twitter.com/#!/more3G/following

Their slogan on Twitter includes "MORE Data than anyone else". Sounds good, looking forward to seeing that they offer.

drunkmonkey

I still reckon it's Vodafone. Maybe their just following the competition.

Got the email with the link on friday (maybe saturday) put in my info. Will i be ported over or get a new sim

No. Everything is by random choice with them as far as I can see.

Unlike Just Mobile and Tesco Mobile this MVNO isn't even registered with ComReg yet

god's toy

So i'm reading on there Twitter that 'testing is going well'...
Anyone from here get asked in yet?

Red Silurian

Their website still says "87% complete" it's been saying that since Thursday

JTMan

On Twitter More Mobile have said they are launching inside 2 weeks.

Anonymous2020

Sounds like a scam....

JTMan

From More Mobile on Twitter:

Website launches next week and soft-launch to follow very shortly after that... Keep a look out for details here.

Looking at their tweets, they seem to be giving a lot of consideration and focus to data.

Role on more prepay competition.

Everything points towards it been 3. I have directly asked More Mobile the question on Twitter without any response.

Should be clearer when their website launches this week.

They have updated their website, i think they are piggy backing off 3 but cant see anything to say which provider they are using

Yes guys, they're using Three

Although... a phone network trying to shoehorn their service offering into a barely customised web template they found online? eek, makes me a bit worried!
