extended until the 15th now

Of course and then it will go to €15 with loads of special offer days where you can get it for €9.99. The special offers will be frequent so everyone who wants to switch will know to wait for them.

thanks for sharing

Sorry, I just meant that I think they will continue to offer it at the same price for the foreseeable future. The deadlines are just a way to get people to sign up ASAP because of fear of missing out.
It's just a guess, I could be wrong but I think it's a fairly logical marketing tactic.

I signed up on 2nd with a port date of 9th, received sim yesterday so went online to update port date to yesterday evening and went without a hitch. All good so far.

Was with 3 for years but final straw was data cost. Rebooted my phone a few times and data switched itself on, which meant it was running in the background without me knowing at €1 per mb. Not 3’s fault but anytime I build up some extra credit to buy something on play store, I would manage to lose it somehow.

OFFER EXTENDED FOR 6 days.

another poster said the same company set up in another country in europe with this style and then went to €15 a month

The operator Free in France (from the same parent company as Eir/GoMo) has 30-day contracts with unlimited calls and SMS (France only) for €2.

Do they have a webchat or an email address? I can't find it.

I have just ordered a SIM, but when I try to verify my account, it says my DOB is incorrect - which it isn't. Possibly I typed it wrong during setup, but I would be confident enough that I didn't.

I can't contact them, as I need to sign to do so, but i can't login until I verify my account.

This is the last chance to get all calls, all texts and all data for €9.99 a month for life with GoMo.

I have a few questions if anyone can answer. I am with 3 on bill pay and now out of contract do I need to let 3 know I am leaving? If I transfer to GOMO today will 3 bill me for the full month of January? Is there a risk in transferring to GOMO that I could loose my existing number?

You shouldn't need to give notice if you're out of contract. No harm in calling them up and giving notice just in case though.

GoMo charge you €9.99 for the sim card manufacturing and delivery when you order. The 1st of the next month will be your first bill for service. You effectively get free service from when you order until the end of the calendar month. Don't know how Three will bill you, if you move before your next billing date chances are you won't get another bill issued.

There should be little to no risk, your existing number stays with Three until it is ported over. You set a time and date to port and follow the instructions. If you follow the instructions correctly it usually ports within 10 mins of the time you set.

Who knows, will just have to wait and see.

TBF, currently, for the vast majority of people, it's not even close to a deal breaker!

Yeah, but only if you sign up for broadband and TV too. The Free mobile offer including data is more expensive than GoMo.

Iliad in Italy (same parent as Eir) charge 7.99 EUR for unlimited calls, texts and 50 GB data.

That said, both Free and Iliad provide clues as to where Eir will take GoMo.

Free and Iliad have done "flash sales" and black Friday offers. I would guess that GoMo will do something similar.

Free have offered broadband and TV as well as mobile, maybe Eir might do the same with GoMo.

Eir have said they have "exciting things" planned for GoMo in 2020, so there are clearly products in the pipeline.

A senior person in a rival telecom company told me that they expect Eir to be very aggressive with customer acquisitions throughout 2020.

No, it's a standalone offer. I paid a €2 direct debit each month without taking any other services.

Has she "data/mobile data" enabled on the phone?
Has she tried restarting the phone.

Happened to herself last week and plane mode on and off worked

I've never needed flight mode more than I have with gomo, everytime I drop to Edge my S7 will never leave Edge until I do the flight mode toggle trick. I have to keep telling myself its only a tenner a month or I would lose the plot.

I moved from 3 prepaid directly across and all was fine.

sometimes if coverage is dodge, plane mode on/off will do the trick

sometimes i go into networks, advanced, and actually take the preferred network from 4G to 3G and that will be a much better signal

should note that this was the case with 3 previously also

Sorry,
I assumed that she had used the GoMo SIM with internet previously without issue.
If she hasn't then the APN settings are most likely the issue.

Did the port take long?

I moved from Tesco and it was done in about 5 minutes. Tesco went dead, swapped sims, and GoMo was up and running with my number.

I'm swapping my dad over, too, and he's prepay with 3. However, i chose to have him port over at 9am on the 7th, and his phone is still with 3, and the number on the GoMo account online is still the 'old' number that gomo sent out with the sim card (rather than updating to the ported number).

Wondering if i should be getting in touch with them or giving them a tad more time with it.

moved my mrs over from 3 payg. she was paying €20 every 28 days to get "free" internet but because most of her work colleagues weren't 3 customers she found that she was topping up practically ever 2 weeks! port went fine at the appointed day and time. has been using it since in Cork City, west Cork, Tipp & Waterford and its been 4G all the way. I was worried that Personal Hotspot on iphone wouldnt be allowed so tried using her phone to tether to my iPad and it worked fine. Ordered my sim and switching next week from 3 30 day sim only. Contacted 3 on twitter to see what was story with canceling my contract, 30 days notice but if I wanted to port my number I'd need to move within the 30 days while number was active. They offered my €20 a month to stay but i declined the offer.

dougm1970

that 28 day top up on 3...thats 13 months per year...or 13 'monthly' payments per year...silly as that sounds.
