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

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

Maybe for you but it's working fine for me, and there is no sign of the offer.

Nothing about that offer on their site.

Great to see them all coming down. We have been shafted for years.
