    Factor in that the 3 prepay AYCE data offer is a 30-day affair, and there's no auto top-up feature. As soon as it hits midnight after the 30 days, then they gouge you for out-of-bundle data at huge rates.

    Depending on your usage though, that may still work out cheaper than the €25/month for unlimited data on a SIM-only billpay.

    There is an auto top-up feature on the website. It's very easy to set up and monitor.

    Just because some people aren't smart enough to top up on time doesn't mean the offer should be avoided.

    FWIW, the game doesn't use that much mobile data especially if you have the maps pre-loaded. I've used 23mb since the 10th July on it and I've been playing a lot.

    Dunno how people in the country are playing this.
    I pass 27 pokestops on my 15 mins to work in DCC.
    Back in the home house and theres 1 within a 30 minute walk and no sign of any nearby pokemon.

    Have you a screen overlay like Twilight or Last pass? Go into Settings -> Accessibility and then disable everything. Its an android security thing not a bug with the app

    Tried this with no luck 😥

    There is an update for iOS. You need to be signed into the correct Apple ID for it to show up.

    Same at the Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin earlier. Walking to it the gym was red. By the time I got there it was Blue with 3 Pokemon. Defeated them and it was then yellow. Within 5 minutes it was back to Blue. There's now 4 Blue Pokemon in it (within last half hour).
    The Google gym seems to change quite often also.

    I had pokemon on it about 4 times today, I was watching it from my desk and it was like a disco light, it changed colours every couple of minutes. I was outside having a break and I noticed 3 lads were taking it over for yellow, once they were done they walked on down the street. They must have only got 50 metres and someone else was trying to take it over.

    Got myslef a 687 CP Golduck today and took over the local gym with it today.

    Three do all you can eat data (15gb a month, if you go over the speed gets restricted) for I think 20 a month. Signal can be a bit hit or miss though.

    Fair usage changed to 60gb and they don't reduce speed for going over, they just reserve the right to :)

    I have castlebar pretty much under team blue control now, Eyre square can feck right off :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,516 ✭✭✭matrim


    Got a magmar today at merrion square at the same place I saw one yesterday, right beside the gym. I think they spawn there.

    Also annoyed as I was walking home with 5% battery and noticed a free spot on a gym but my battery died before I got there :(

    I feel like I'm the only yellow in letterkenny :(

    towns overrun with reds who seem to be car-pooling.

    Just caught a CP 725 Hypno in my bedroom...I'm currently holding a gym down the road with a CP 583 one and then this yoke strolls up when I'm not even using my phone. Typical. He was a pain to catch though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭Wing126


    ****in battled a Pidgeot down the road from my house and the fecker ran away :(

    BUT, I did catch two venonats :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 551 ✭✭✭chipfox


    Any spots where more rare pokemon are showing up? I caught two Pigeots today. One outside Killiney Hotel and another at Ben Dunne gym in kimmage. I seem to be catching a huge number of Evees, got my Jolteon early, highest CP I have by far!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,204 ✭✭✭elfy4eva

    Is this game almost unplayable for anyone else after 5 o clock? Spinning the stops doesn't register. There's nothing near my work. Might give it a break until it's released in Europe

    That's around about when the USA starts waking up and people are going online so the servers get hammered.

    I stopped playing around 4 and everything was grand but trying to do anything at about 7 wasn't easy. Had my first gym battle today and got wrecked by a weaker pokemon. They just stay on 1hp??? I don't get how to make them faint

    I was fighting a Pigeot with my Jolteon that had basically double the CP and attacks are super effective??

    There is a known glitch that prevents enemies from dying if they get down to 1hp. Haven't seen it myself but read about it a few times

    Two of my 5km eggs hatched. A diglett and a Ponyta. I didn't have them so that was nice.

    I'm finding it hard to level now. I just hit level 10. The servers crapping out on me all the time doesn't help either. I feel like living in town is a massive advantage. If you live rurally, it must suck.

    Just had my first experiance at the local PokeStop. As I got there to collect some Pokeballs a group of about five shady characters turned around the corner and for a moment I thought they might have been staking the place out for someone to mug. I gave them a ‘what’s the craic’ and luckily they just kept walking. They split up, and two jumped into a car near by. Guess they were exchanging gaming tips. Very surreal…

    Pokémon Go is a great way to socialise with your local drug dealer . I give it 5 marijuanas.

    they were probably looking back at you, thinking who's yer man pokemon/ingress/or Drug Squad?

    Anybody having serious issues trying to hatch eggs? I have to travel 2-3x the distance and sometimes it just doesn't work at all. Driving seems to have no effect on distance travelled either


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    driving is too fast. gotta walk


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 551 ✭✭✭chipfox


    First egg I tried I had to walk 6k to hatch a 2k egg. I've had an egg hatch driving on a motorway but there wasn't much left on it, maybe 100 metres

    Yeah, the GPS tracker also works out how fast you're going. If you're going over, I think it's something like 10 or 12mph it won't register as being movement towards hatching an egg.
