Are they still 3G, or have they upgraded to 4G?
personally I'd take the 4G GoMo offer over this if it's still 3G.

Nothing to do with it. Just been hammered. Been with them 5 years and they run a good show.

Thank GAWWWD some other network has come on board. Gomo are a disaster to deal with.

They used to be a sub division of O2 who were purchased by Three. So Three? Unless there's been a change.

That who we are all with now on the prepay
Used to be basically for free as we were converting credit to Xbox but can’t do that anymore

Is this bill pay ? Can ya tether ?

Hoboo

Not sure if they'll run their friends program with the offer, order a Sim for a friend and I think you get 10 credit each, could be 20.

Not sure how the mods feel about board members ordering SIMS for each other? I know generally you can't offer sign ups, but in this case both parties earn an equal reward?

Maybe a MOD can clear that up?

Had myself, my siblings and grandparents signed up to them in their heyday. Was a grand wee network.

You just renew every month by debit card..you're not tied into any contract. You can set your membership to auto renew monthly or just dont renew if you please. A very simple crowd but no complaints here for a tenner.

8.99 now I don't even use the 3gb I had nevermind 100gb. Was great for roaming before, even better now.

biebiebie

What's happens of you use the 100GB limit?
Cut off?
Throttled?
Charged extra?
Or ....nothing?

If you think its hard get Gomo on the phone you should try 48, plus they've an awful habit of completely draining your credit depending which way the wind blows that day. I would NEVER go back to them.

irishchris

Was fairly certain these were only 3g or at least they were when I moved from them few months back. Anyone with them that can confirm they are 4g?

There was a post on the 48 community from the mods about launching 4G. They were rolling it out from the 21st

lowbatt07

Whether you can tether is key for me.have the gomo sim in a 4g router without any issues

If it's 4G then the Three network is going to take a hammering.
Let's hope that 48 have properly staffed their support channels for the influx!

I hope this is for real, Gomo reception non existent in my house. Checked the 48 website but still showing original offers. I was with 48 from launch up until Gomo launch and never had a problem with them.

I'm on 48. Customer Service is second to none and draining credit is a new one, never heard of that or seen it mentioned in the community section. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for that.

Yeah, got a text and email last week and automatically updated itself that day.

OP stated "Preparing to launch"

Snotty

Was with them for years, whole family is/was, never any issues

wotzgoingon

I'm still with them. I have a dual sim phone so I have a 3 sim and 48 sim and alternate each month since 3 was 4G and 48 were not. Looks to be some amazing deal though if it turns out to be true.

Doesn't seem real when you compare to their current plans and then the switch to 4G recently.

worded

I’m on voda red with “free” Spotify and 1 hour free calls abroad costing 70PM

I’ve just got out of contract but it’s very difficult to get hold of anyone at Vodafone these days

Option for a call back usually the next day is the only option

What’s the coverage like with these ppl, as good as vodafone ?
Can I port my existing number ?
Can I get an international plan for 1 hour calls abroad?

JTMan

Great offer.

Three recently purchased 48.ie, maybe a rebrand of 48 Months is on the way.

Does a Three locked phone work with 48? Thanks.

amber2

4G rolled out between 21 to 25th November.

I believe it was a marketing ploy to get younger people on board, but not meant to exclude people outside that age bracket.

biebiebie

Just ordered a SIM there.
Have a dual SIM phone so can compare with GoMo.

corcaigh07

GoMo can’t even take my money at the moment and their website is a pig. I also am not a massive fan of being on “E” data so often.

When they cut me off, this is the next experiment

sector_000

The only issue I have with 48 was I couldn't get it to roam in France or Germany this year. Tried & tried. Was on chat to customer support. Gave up in the end

They don't try to police it. In fact, they give good guidance as to what your birth year needs to be, to make it real easy to cheat. I set up accounts for my parents in law years ago.

It would actually be illegal for them to police it - a breach of age discrimination laws.

We've had 48 aims for years we slowly migrated away from it as other better offers have come in, and needs change.

Very reliable network, but data speeds are lagging the other networks. I live in a rural area, so urban areas may be better.
Only problem we had was roaming, says it's included and enabled etc, but a couple of times we used it and we couldn't get coverage abroad (EU).
Anyway, its generally good value at a Tenner, and this is better, just be aware there are limits to the network {based on the old 3G).

Had the same issue in Bulgaria but I think it was more down to my handset than the network My Huawei wouldnt register on the network but my sister in laws Huawei did. No issue with my wifes or brother in laws phones. Three of us were on 48 at the time.

48 Months recently switched to 4G so speeds that you got years ago are not a relevant comparison now.

Any risk of roaming not working in a big no go. Too much of a hassle being in another country and having to chase home provider for support.

mdwexford

I have been with 48 for about 8 years.
Highly recommend it, great value.

Go to the Canary Islands every year and have no trouble roaming either.

Peig Sayers

Would be interested for a spare phone. Don't want to lose my credit with three. Can you keep your credit if you don't use all of it for the month or do you have to top up every month?

Only risk is that people don't know how to use their phone apart from dial and browse, and can't set up their roaming settings properly, its all there on their support section. My missis did it in 20 seconds on her phone without me there, and as lovely as she is, she is completely IT and technologically clueless. Just follow the instructions.

Can't blame a provider for user ignorance and incompetence.
