Seems like a good deal but assume it's a "get the customer in the door offer".
80GB is impressive.
Wonder what it will be after that if they get the 100k custgomers?

Website is taking forever, so people must be interested or getting the offer

Doesn't seem to be a catch, 80gb limit basically (similar to Eir).

There's a one off 9.99 activation fee but then it's 9.99 a month after that

I signed up, was an old Meteor €25pm sim only plan which I stuck with because I hated Three's network and I can't be arsed with top-ups.

https://www.independent.ie/business/technology/news/new-gomo-mobile-operator-launches-in-ireland-38596539.html

A new mobile operator has launched in Ireland.

GoMo is offering 80GB of data, plus all calls and texts, for €10 per month for the first 100,000 customers.

It will also allow 10GB of EU roaming data, plus all calls and texts.

The Eir-owned ‘virtual’ operator will run on Eir’s mobile network.

It is an aggressive pricing move from Eir, which will undercut all other operators in the market, including its own Eir Mobile.

However, it is a sim-only deal, meaning that there will be no phone offers with the network, which is typically a way for operators to get customers.

There will be no restrictions on using the SIM card for a Wifi hotspot. However, after the 80GB monthly data limit is reached, the data speeds will slow.

The move echoes what Eir’s French owner Xavier Niel, has done in other European countries.

I can't see anything on the site about porting numbers. Does anyone know if I can bring my previous number?

Under how to sign up it says "Move or use your new number".

Does any one know what charges aren't covered by the €9.99 monthly fee? E.g. Voicemail, premium rate numbers, roaming. Can't see it any where on their site.

When I signed up it asked me what date would I like to have the account active. It's off the Eir network

It's less than 15 minutes since it went live, you'll be in the first 100k if you do it within the week (I'd say).

The porting question confuses me although it probably shouldn't. I have two users on a Virgin account and want to port one of them. Unsure if should choose postpay multi line or not.

Does anyone know can you order now, and then move number later or you have to decide to port now? Would like to get in on the deal, but would be nice to wait if there's teething issues or surprise charges.

I ported my number, on the signup it asked me when do I want to activate, I selected next Monday as I'm travelling all this week.

Guess most will move from Eir to it to get the 80GB data and cheaper cost.
100,000 customers is a lot for a new entry though.

Edit: They have a sneaky activation fee of €9.99 too. So first month is actually €19.98

Still cheaper than their competitors of Three.ie at €20 for a similar product.

They charge you €5 to get your SIM replaced. So, if your SIM stops working through no fault of your own, they charge you for it. Tight fúckers.

I like the control of paying as you go, not keen on the activation fee, or the possibility of contention for data with so many signing up. Reasonable enough deal but not enough to make me switch from Lyca til I hear more.

How often does that even happen though?

my current plan is €25 a month so...

€25 x 12 = €300

now it's

€9.99 * 12 = €119.88

so €300 - €119.88 = €180.12 savings

with €180.12 I can afford to have my sim break 36 times within a year and still break even.
