'48' Mobile operator - Prepaid offer - 3000mins & 5000 texts €10per month

psychward

with all the teething problems I think I will hold onto my 48 sim card and not port my number over to it until people actually stop coming out with basic bread and butter problems like not being able to receive sms and phone calls etc. If you cant even receive calls then it's far better to ditch the phone altogether and use a phonebox (if I could find one) . Its such an absolutely basic issue that it should be fixed soon ? Has 48 refunded anyone their 10 euro for not giving them the service they paid for ?

the groutch

sounds like some bad karma headed the way of t he operator for their blatant age discrimination.

It's because Tesco Mobile and 48 are both MVNOs piggypacking O2.

There are loads of other mvnos also though. They don't all show up as each other.

If I order a micro sim they will have to switch my number onto it, meaning I'll be without a phone for a few days, so I'm just gonna cut my normal sim down to size.

Amazing how we went from not having phones to not being able go without them for 2-3 days!

ha ya that sucks, you could order a micro sim and use it as a template for cuting your normal sim out if ur not sure about the size

How did you get a weeks free membership ??? I just logged into my account to check and my membership still finishes on the same date....:rolleyes:

ft9

Just got this E-mail from them....


Hi FT9,
As you know last Friday was pretty much a disaster. Our data centre flooded causing a complete outage on the 48 network. We worked throughout the day to get this fixed and everything was sorted that evening.

We’re going to be working with our third party suppliers in the future, providing them with wellies and raincoats, as well as the technical stuff to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

We were gutted by this because we’re a new network, you guys have been the first to become 48 members and your support has been immense.

Yesterday, we posted a vote on Facebook allowing you to decide what should happen when the 48 data centre floods. Loads of you opted for a week’s free membership. So over the next couple of days we’ll be extending your current membership by 7 days to thank you for your support.

Go Conquer,

48 Crew

This meant that when you went on to renew your membership last weekend you couldn’t do it. To make it up to you we’ve renewed your membership for you and it’s on us. We’ll be dropping this onto your account in the next couple of days.

I got this email, no mention of it being only a week.

I've been on to 48 and received this reply, issue is still present.

'This has been identified as a routing issue between Vodafone and 48.

Both parties are involved here and need to sort this out between them.

We have guys working on it now so we hope to have this sorted soon for you'

Can anyone receive calls from Vodafone Mobiles who has switched? I can't believe there isn't more urgency to sorting this. The only reason I haven't ported away is that it may be outside their control partly with other operators dragging their heels but I am porting away tomorrow if not resolved. A week free is useless if you can't receive calls or texts from customers of the biggest network in the country (But I haven't even been offered that yet!!)

I can receive calls from Vodafone numbers.

i can receive calls from Vodafone as well, no problem

Guys, I'm coming back to Ireland for 3 weeks tomorrow, is this the best deal available for a simcard? Also, can I get it for just a month or am I locked in for longer. Any suggestions to a decent alternative?

no your not locked into a contract you just pay €10 every month you want to use it, takes 3 to 4 days for the sim to come so order it before your home so youl have it when u get back here, i would defiantly recommend it, its the best deal i could find

commited

Thanks for that, I've already ordered a sim, so hopefully it will be there waiting for me when I arrive!

Their glib retarded messages are pretty annoying, glad I didn't switch.

I switched from VF to 48 - bill went from 23 pm to 10 pm. Pretty decent price to pay for the hokey messages.

I'll switch once I start hearing that their network is reliable. Last thing I need is for someone to be attempting to contact me about a wedding or a funeral or a relative visiting Ireland from America etc and thinking I am ignoring them due to the network failing.

It's hosted on the O2 network. There shouldn't be any issue.

No you won't as 48months don't support blackberry services.

I'm on it since the start and I have no real issues at all. Great coverage.

I switched 2 weeks ago and I've been missing calls and texts from Vodafone Numbers since then. Call will get 'Number not in use'. I've been on to 48 e-mail support daily and still no resolution. I'm switching back to Meteor today. Great offer but worthless in my opinion as I haven't received the service.

Be aware of this before you switch

Apart from the network failure Friday week,I have no problems with them.Service is fine in any areas I have been , data can be a bit slow at times but other than that they are fairly solid.Incredible value in my opinion and I have wasted alot of money on mobile contracts over time !.Best deal out there in my opinion.
