I found another way (iphone 11 on iOS 13.5) there and it's after getting rid of ask the carrier message.

Settings - mobile data - mobile data network - scroll down to personal hotspot and insert attached settings

Works 100% for me now and I'm still testing with the 1gb free. Agents online were quick to respond regarding the 2nd month free membership for referral (misses is going to sign up too, handy) and confirmed 2FA bank messages etc are not blocked by them. Good experience so far. Will be porting tomorrow.

For those who switched from GoMo - I tried to move twice today but keep getting this message:

There's been a problem moving your number. You'll need to check you've selected the right account type. For example, have you put in 'prepay unregistered' where it's meant to be 'prepay registered'? If so, you can go back and enter the correct details on the move your number page

On the port page I have an option for Prepay, Billpay and Business/Family. I have tried Prepay and Billpay but neither worked - any ideas?

Another thing I noticed was my Gomo account number was 8 digits but 48 wanted a 10 digit number - I just threw two 0's in front which might not have been the correct option...

Have you tried contacting the live chat? Mine initially came up ''Error - Sorry! this msisdn already exists'' but they said to go out of the app and try again and it should work, which it did.

I did this, same phone, and hotspot can be turned on, my phone can be found by my laptop but once the two connect my laptop is reading "connected, no internet". Then on the actual iphone while I have data, 48 prevents me from switching on my wifi while connecting to hotspot. Does the same thing happen to you?
When I was with Three, iphone wifi had to be switched on along with data in order for the hotspot to work.....

Fine here.

Only time it went down in years was that time someone cut the fibre optic by accident.

Was onto the live chat. After a few minutes and trying different options I had to turn on airplane mode then turn it off and it worked. Strange one!

I think I'm finally done with 3 and thinking of moving to 48, hopefully the 40gb will do me. Do 2fa texts 100% work with these?

Switched yesterday. Decent speeds.

What he said .I bought new phone and I had to set up mobile banks,revolut,amazon,skrill etc.All codes/texts came in fine within seconds.Also speed has improved where I live compare to Vodafone so for 10euro thats the best deal you can get if you have good coverage

I have used at least half a dozen SMS based 2FA systems with them, between banking and other IT systems. Never any issues.

Ordered a sim today. Seems like a really good deal plus it's pre-pay which means it's will stay €9.99.I was on the Go Mo €9.99 deal but every month there was hidden extra charges.

What hidden extra charge?

I was getting charged 30 cent for every mms, while I taught I was sending a text message. Apparently its common if your texting from android to iPhone.
Also I was charged on a ferry for using data, That's the negative with a bill I suppose. I had taught it was capped at €9.99.
Anyway I won't have to worry here as its pre-pay.
Ordered a sim card, I'll let the board know how I get on.

there's a connection fee of €12.99 too. So you're essentially paying twice the first month.

Really happy with 48. SIMs are free to order and I was able to test my connection with the free GB they offer. I've a dual sim phone and find it really handy to keep work/personal call seperate.

I think you are wrong there.
Mms are still not included
https://48.ie/charges/other-call-charges
As its a prepay phone, it either won't go, or you end up in a neg balance, so it's hardly an unexpected charge. And as for the activation fee, that's just the current months bill as the sim is live on receipt.
I have 5 of these sims and the only extras so far are International texts by granny.

Are you taking about gomo or 48? Because all texts are free with 48. Sorry not clear for me in you post

Well good for you. But think I'm right. I will only have to pay €9.99 with 48 as its credit not a bill.

You'll have to buy extra credit if you want to use services outside what's covered for the tenner. Don't really see the difference.

I won't have to buy any extra credit . I won't need to add credit as it won't send and then I can send a WhatsApp etc. It's a great deal 48. If you like Bill good for you. But €9.99 suits me and I'm sure many others on this board.

mms is not classed as a text. It is extra services.

https://48.ie/charges/other-call-charges




MMS is not included in either package. Gomo charges you for it, you need to check what 48 will do.

That sounds right. With gomo all irish calls and texts are included, but MMS is neither. If only I could get granny to stop texting international and use WhatsApp, I could save the 7 cent for each.

MMS are extra. Android by default changes group SMS to MMS even if it just text. This can be changed in the messages settings.

Maritime charges are charged across all networks too.

Bikerman2019

Look at this link
https://48.ie/charges/other-call-charges


Look under premium services. 48 lists MMS as premium services so they are not in your 9.99 package.

You need to ask them if you are prepaid, what happens if you send one. You think you wont have to pay, if that is correct, fine, but chances are they wont allow you to send it.

When you sign up to a contract of 9.99 for data and calls and texts, you cannot complain if they charge you for extra services. Gomo allows you to send it, but charge you. You need to ask 48 what will they do. Don't think they wont charge you for out of package useage. They will find a way.

And it is not a hidden charge, it is in the terms and conditions you agreed to.

Maritime charges are across all networks. However if you have no credit you don't get service. If you are bill with Go Mo or any other network you will get a nasty large bill. 48 all the way for me, don't have to worry about that

It's 30c for mms.
