I've never once got a premium SMS text in over 20 years.

They don't happen without you having subscribed for something.

Likewise!

Signed up myself, just waiting on the sim to arrive.
Like others I intend to use 2 Sims (dual SIM phone) before porting the number over.

Did a Google search on "phone bill capping" and read that the UK have some policy that enables customers to opt into a cap limit.

Anyone know if similar Policies are in place her in the ROI?

I know you can get a premium text barring applied

can anyone just shove your number into a banner ad and you start receiving premium texts without asking

seems like that happened to me?

2 possibilities...

1. The network "leaks" your number in the http header.

2. They are just sending out blanket texts to every 7 digit number they like.

In any case AFAIK the recipient is supposed to send a confirmation text and that's the problem, what sane person would confirm they want to be scammed.

Those companies are pretending to get confirmation and Comreg are just allowing it to continue.

There are numerous stories throughout boards one of which was that the sender claimed that someone with a dumb phone had visited a webpage and opted in so it's obvious they (text sender) made it up.

Tip for anyone interested...for any 2FA SMS, use a PAYG SIM in a spare phone with zero credit so there's no credit to take.

Got charged an additional 4.58 for calls to Irish landlines?

I thought all calls were gratis.

So, were the calls to normal landline numbers or non geographic numbers such as 1890 and 1850's?

I'm not even going for a port at this moment, I want to see coverage/speeds first.

Exactly the same here! Had scheduled to port on November 10th but as soon as I saw all the porting issues on here I got it cancelled!

I got my first bill also and it’s €20.06 wondered what the 0.06c is and it’s for international text - I know I didn’t text any international but what it is is the sms that is sent when you load up your iPhone it asks this will charge a carrier fee to enable iMessage. I have two numbers - the itemised bill is brilliant shows everything. Over all I am very happy!

Skippy along

Popped in my Sim this morning logged in to my account and tried to move my number but getting " this action is unavailable until your service is activated " am i doing it wrong?

Why do apple not like to acknowledge that they have Irish customers, isn't their European headquarters in Cork?

I actually stayed away from having two sims on the one account, going forward, it can be a pain in the arse when trying to port with a multi line account, especially if you want to keep one number with GoMo or whoever you happen to have a multi line account with

I ordered two GoMo sims - swapped over both original numbers to GoMo no issues - then itemised bill has one heading with my first number and all calls and then the second number with all calls listed. When porting I selected “Pre Pay Registered” and moved both numbers - for the price €9.99 amazing value ain’t it.

I had 2 international texts both for UK numbers , looked into it and looks like it's a sim activating text for my brand of phone , sent in the background without me knowing, i have disabled the find device feature for my phone aswell cos I think there was a text off that aswell , but mainly to do with sim activation and hopefully won't see them again

Possibly imessage activation if it's an iPhone

If it's android...no idea what it's for.

I am talking about in the future, if you decide to take one of your two numbers away from GoMo, it may just cause an issue is what I am saying. In the past, multi line accounts always had to be ported in a different way. Out of interest, do both numbers share the one account number?

I was charged €3.36 for landline calls and none of those were 1890 or 1850 numbers.

Strange, so normal 01, 021, 051 numbers rather than 076 and 0818 numbers?

Anyone get told they have a bill. Login and then when it’s clicked nothing happens?

All users experiencing issues should follow these steps (as per GoMo's own code of practice).

(1) Contact chat initially to discuss issue, if not satisfied request both an escalation & a ticket number.

(2) email GoMo complaints quoting your ticket number.

At least that way you have some record of the actual complaint if you need to go to ComReg.

There's also 0818 and 076

Anyway, a few years ago I got charged for an 1890 number when I had dialled the geographic number that the organization provided. The digits were completely different so it wasn't a dialling error. The provider had mapped their numbers incorrectly. Had to lodge a complaint and go to Comreg.

Got my first bill today, only ordered a sim on the 16th but they charged me from the first. Seems a bit shady, I expected a 4.50ish charge rather than the full 9.99 like 3 and other operators who do a set billing cycle used to do.

You need to read your bill again. I think you will find that the 9.99 is covering the period 1 to 30 Nov and not for Oct. Any additional charges would be out of bundle charges from when you started using the sim to 31 Oct.

I have one log in and then I can select view details for and on the drop down menu both my numbers are there on the print out it shows all calls and sms under each number separately so happy out.

Actually now you say that, there was an 076 and 0818 number in there as well, let me check the mins

Total landline time charged for was 17 mins 20 secs

076 - 10 mins 4 secs
0818 - 3 mins 42 secs

01 number - 2 mins 33 secs (this one also has an 1890 equivalent but I rang the landline version)
01 - 0 mins 54 secs
01 - 2 mins 1 sec

It doesn't add up to 17 mins 20 secs so now I'm confused :P

When you click the view bill it should give you a popup offering to open it or download it.

076 & 0818 are your culprits so, Strangely, eir allowed 076 (VOIP) numbers be used on their bundles but 0818 are treated the same as 1890 and 1850's

Silent night

Just wondering if anyone can help I purchased a sim and meant to keep my own number but received a sim with new number and email today to say I have been billed and I want to port over next week early will I be able to keep my if I use it when asked to give date of change over thanks

Scratch that, it lists all the calls on page 3 which I neglected to look at - was charged €0.91 for the 0818 number (3mins 44secs according to them) and €2.46 for the 076 number so you guys were right, regular landlines are included.
