There should be no issue with incoming mail so long as your settings are correct. The issue might be with sending mail as the Eir SMTP server might not recognise your GoMo as being on its network . You could of course simply connect to Eir webmail through your mobiles browser and work from there .

I'll paraphrase your post to ask my question again

Can anybody tell us if the Eir outgoing mail SMTP server (smtp.eircom.net) will recognise our GoMo mobiles as being on the eir network ?

GoMO confirmed to me that the 45,000 minutes is per month.

Even though there are only 44,640 minutes in a 31-day month!!

I guess the only way you could burn through it was by adding in multiple people to calls all month long!

I don't know, but why is it important. Your mail server and data subscription aren't related.

The eir SMTP server accepts logon from the eir network and rejects logon from other networks.

I am hoping the eir SMTP server will treat the GoMO network as an eir network. If it does I can use my Android and Windows mail clients to send mails; if it does not, I would have to use a non eircom.net email address or use eir webmail for sending.

Does anyone know how much they charge for international calls and texts, and if tethering is permitted (if so, what are the costs)? I couldn't find anything relevant on their website.

I must've read it ten times before posting here... so the international calls and texts are included, that's good!

That would also be good!! I'll see if I can get a definite answer from them - I've had it up to here with Vodafone and their practises.

I do question why people remain to use this type of technology but I suppose everyone has their own use cases.
I wouldn't let something like this be a deal breaker in any way shape or form for numerous reasons.

International calls and texts are NOT included.

EEA roaming calls and texts are included.

Ok, one more question.

Let's say I sign up, and after a few months I cancel. If after a while I wanted to sign up again, would the SIM be reactivated, or would I have to start everything from scratch? And at that point, assuming the 100,000 customers offer hasn't expired/hasn't been taken up in full, will I still be able to avail of the same rates?

So, I'm still asleep.

Any idea as to how much they charge for those, so?

EDIT: NVM, they are included. "Minutes and SMS apply to usage within the Republic of Ireland and EEA zone countries."

I agree that it wouldn't be a deal breaker but what is wrong about wanting to be be able to use your mail clients on android (or iOS) - email is still very important

To clarify...

EEA roaming and international are two separate call types for billing purposes.

Ireland to Ireland - Free (Home call)

Germany to Ireland/France/Spain/EEA - Free (EEA roaming}

Ireland to Germany/France/Spain/EEA - NOT Free {International)

I question why:
People still use Eir/Eircom etc email in the first instance and as a result think they need to be tied to an Eir network to access their email.
I had an eircom address back in the early 00's and technicily I still have it. I've got gmail shortly after it became available. That picks up my eircom mail (not that anyone sends mail there anymore) and I don't feel the need to be tied to any one network amoung many other benefits.

As I said,if it's an issue for folks, fair enough, I just don't the get logic.

Is that right?

I can be in Germany and call and Irish number, free, I understand.
But if I'm in Germany and I call a French number I'm going to be charged an International call rate, no?

Or am I reading that wrong.

If you are in Germany, you are not using your Irish network. So, you are roaming. Calls made while you are roaming within a EU country to another EU country are treated the same as calls made within Ireland.

If you are in Ireland, you are not roaming. So, calls made to other EU countries from within Ireland, are deemed to be international calls and charged accordingly.

That's my understanding.

EEA roaming regulations effectively makes EEA roaming calls/texts within EEA, equivalent to calls/texts within your home country.

Those roaming minutes will be deducted from the plan allowance.

That only applies when roaming in EEA.

When at home, calling other EEA countries is an international call and not included unless your plan specifically includes it, but gomo don't.

Maybe they don't want to hand over all their information to Google?

They don't really need to be tied to any network, once the mail provider doesn't enforce it.
