Received my sim this morning after getting a dispatch notification late Friday night.

Ported number, straight forward - took about 10 mins. 4g speeds seem to be hovering between 45-55mb at the moment!

No email, nothing. Frustrating.

Received sim a couple of days ago and activated free data. Very poor speed at home, out and about not too bad but not on par with vodafone

Can't make calls but it does pick up calls every where Vodafone does.

I'm out in the sticks in the Midwest area, still not decided if I'll port over or not. Use WiFi at home so data speeds there not vital.

Sim arrived before I went to work. I was in testing on 2 dual sim devices.Redmi Note 5 and Redmi 8

Note 5:
Vodafone Galway city centre
D:119. U:80
48.ie
D:70. U:40

Vodafone ,Galway county east(Athenry,Loughrea)
D:6.8. U:0.78
48.ie
D:22.13 U: 3.13

Redmi 8:
Vodafone Galway city centre
D:109 U: 77
48.ie
D:80. U:33

All results In Mbps with Ookla speedtest app.

Could not believe speed with Vodafone was so $hite even when I had 4G+ on my phone at work.Will port over my kid after work for sure and the rest when our Vodafone bundle expire

This is ridiculous. It keeps telling me I can't order a SIM because I'm outside Ireland.

I've tried on:
- via broadband
- via broadband with Irish VPN
- mobile on wifi
- mobile (on Three!)

And in incognito mode on all of them.

Is their site just knackered? This isn't very confidence inspiring

I had the same issue on Virgin Media wifi, I had to go on mobile data (GoMo) to get it to work. Seems like their geo-IP detection is messed up.

Only thing I can think of is find someone with a different mobile connection and hot-spot off their phone?

Cheers, I know some of the old UPC IPs show up as being in Holland, so figured that might be it.

But if they're owned by Three, and they can't recognise Three mobile data as being in Ireland, think I'll steer clear.

No, broadband and VPN on PC, wifi and mobile data on mobile.

2 orders in the past 3 weeks and still no sim. Amateur stuff.

Kirby2k07

Has anyone had issues porting their number across?

I was with Three on bill pay with contract finished phone unlocked, and every time I try to port it i get the same email "There's been a problem moving your number. You'll need to check you've selected the right account type."

It's weird the first window is "Enter the mobile number you want to move over to 48" followed by the security code and then the window "enter your account number". I presume this account number is my Three account number, which is 9 digits long. However the box requires 10 digits? This didn't work. Added a zero at the front, then the back, both didn't work. Then just reentered my phone number in the account number section as that's 10 digits long. Also didn't work.

Anyone have any similar issues or can help me out? Cheers!

Got a reply from 48 customer service, reasonably quickly in fairness.

Except they just told me to try another browser or another computer.
Despite me telling them in the original mail I'd already tried multiple devices and browsers. Guess I'll be going elsewhere

This was happening to me also.
For me, turned off the VPN (which was set to Ireland, should not have mattered), then closed all browsers, opened Chrome incognito. Finally there was peace.

I've an unused SIM surplus to requirements. If you want to PM me your address, I can stick it in the post.

You'll get exactly the same level of response when you look for service support on coverage issues.
They don't read or care about what you tell them and just hit you with boilerplate responses and then nothing.
You have been warned!

No better lad than myself to stick it to all comers but I've been with 48 for donkeys years, very, very rare ive needed to contact them as their site plus searchable community answers everything but couldn't fault their support myself.

I shouldn't say this as all ye GOMO can f#ck off and not be swamping my 48 but anywho.

Rodney Bathgate

I have had to contact 48 twice in 2.5 years, both times the issue (one my fault not reading up on roaming, the other an issue with porting) was resolved quickly between chat and them calling me re the porting issue.

Cheers. I just got it to work in IE. With the Irish VPN on. Fairly sure I'd tried Chrome incognito last week. Still says I'm abroad in Brave, even after deleting all local storage.
I say "work" - I got as far as entering my address and I've had an animated 48 logo for the last 5 minutes, so no idea if I've ordered a SIM or not.

Hey, really appreciate the offer, thanks a million.
But if I'm having this hassle just trying to get a SIM off them it's not worth the hassle.

The site is under going maintenance this morning may not be working properly.

Kirby2k07

After the maintenance my sim finally swapped over. Realized their "4G" is actually LTE..what's the deal with that? Also would have assumed personal hotspot would be a given in 2020, but doesn't appear to be working at all?

I guess its vodafone in a month for me...

Rodney Bathgate

Personal hotspot works fine for me.

Can I ask how? On an iPhone, I went into cellular settings, selected “set up personal hotspot” and a pop-up tells me “to enable personal hotspot on this account, contact Carrier” .. I don’t remember it being this hard with Three

I had the exact same problem with an IPhone and Virgin Mobile, worked on a Nokia with no problems though.

Initially struggled to get any connection when setting up my sim. Used the following link to ensure I had the correct settings and everything worked as expected:

Just tested 48 sim with the free 1gb and suprised it's killing Vodafone in download and upload speeds around the house. That may be good enough for me.

Does it support 2 factor authorisation messages? Just asking as I signed up to Virgin 10 euro unlimited deal this morning but am in the process of cancelling as I didn't realise they don't support 2FA messages from banks etc. This would be a deal breaker for me as I use them every day

Edit- also same as above hot spot doesn't work on my iPhone 11, it says contact carrier. Will look into that but no big deal, have a work phone with unlimited Vodafone usage and hot-spot is fine.

Edit2 - found answer to 2fa and appears it works great news.

Will wait til my VF credit expires
