Gomo 5G?

captainneutron · 12-08-2021 5:22pm #1

Does anyone else pick up 5G on Gomo.

Not long with them and have picked up 5G. Thought it was only 4g

buzz77 · 13-08-2021 12:39am

Device is an iPhone 12, I guess. Are you on €9.99, €12.99 or €14.99? Is Voice over WiFi working as well? There have been reports of 5G since late 2020 but on Android devices and only in certain regions in the country.

captainneutron · 13-08-2021 4:50pm

Iphone 12 pro. On 14.99 plans and wifi calling works great.

Bummer1234 · 24-08-2021 10:26am

Yea Gomo said awhile back they where introducing 5G and Wifi calling to new customers (What you are) and for myself on the old 9.99 package will get it in the future, Still hasn't happened for me yet and can't get wifi calling turned on iphone x.

Where does it mention that Gomo will offer 5g? Cannot see anywhere online where this is mentioned, it would make no sense as its reserved for top tier Eir plans.

Wi-Fi Calling is working perfrct. I am starting to think it was a blip, as it hasn't picked up 5g since in that area.

namloc1980 · 24-08-2021 1:35pm

I am on the original €9.99 plan and have picked up 5G a handful of times in the last couple of months. I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE.

24-08-2021 1:36pm

any chance of Voice over LTE (VoLTE)?

edit - I see that they have this in for new customers but not old ones (pre April 2021 yet)

captainneutron · 24-08-2021 1:39pm

VOLTE Working on my iphone and S21

Nigel Fairservice · 24-08-2021 8:07pm

I pick up 5G the odd time on my Galaxy S20. The signal only lasts for a few minutes.

I bought a 12 Pro Max last week and am a day one €9.99 GoMo subscriber. 5G is turned on in the settings but when out and about I am yet to see the indicator show 5G? WiFi calling will not turn on in the settings?

I was able to get 5G in many places when I had the same SIM in my Galaxy S21 Ultra?

Why are we as long term and loyal customers getting shafted here? Is there an official way to lodge a complaint with GoMo and ComReg about this?

Thanks,

M

What is meant by VOLTE?

Voice over a 4g LTE network instead of 2g GSM or 3g UMTS networks.

Without VoLTE, your phone will be kicked back to 3G (or 2G) when you make or receive a call.

Ned Led Zeppo · 01-07-2022 6:03pm

Surely that only slows down the time you can spend on the call?

LTE (4G) networks are very different to what came before. There’s no support for circuit-switched calls like there was in previous standards. It’s just a data pipe. So VoLTE treats the call as if it were data and sends it over the 4G network. I’ve no experience with 5G (still on an iPhone 8 Plus here) but I’d bet that it’s the same. If your phone or provider doesn’t support VoLTE then it has to bump you back to 2G or 3G to make or receive a call, otherwise it wouldn’t work at all.

Ned Led Zeppo · 02-07-2022 9:36am

What is meant by "Porting"? and APN? Gomo makes it very difficult to join them. I am not bothered

anymore.You are only saving a miserable 5 euro.

Zhane · 02-07-2022 9:45am

Porting means moving your number from your current network to your new network. This is Standard across all mobile networks.

APN is the Access Point Name, which is essentially a address on how your phone connects to a mobile network. In Gomos case it’s data.myeirmobile.ie. This can be managed in your mobile data settings on your phone.

CH3OH · 15-07-2022 7:23pm

Just seen the 5G symbol my phone

fbradyirl · 02-09-2022 7:57am

Are many people getting 5G? Seems strange that it is intermittent.

Micky 32 · 02-09-2022 12:49pm

I’d say it’s a breakthrough glitch. A bit like what i have seen with Vodafone wifi calling. Sometimes in the UK it works despite being geo locked.

Are you actually for real? GoMo make it difficult?

It's as easy at it gets. Set a time to port your number to GoMO, insert GoMo sim card into an unlocked phone. And magic! It just works.

Every network is the same as such and porting required. And in relation to APN, most phones will receive the updated APN form GoMo once you've switched over, so not an issue.

With GoMO since day 1, and majority of family and friends with them now also. And they're all saving their miserable €5 and more even.

You still have not explained what APN is?

Why would I? A poster explained it above for you 9 minutes after your post.

madmoe · 27-09-2022 10:11pm

Got this SMS a few days ago on the GoMo SIM I have in my iPhone. Never ever got it before and have been with GoMo right from the start. Has anyone else ever got this? Must check my September bill at the start of October but never go anywhere near the monthly limit normally! Now the other GoMo SIM that is in my TP-Link 4G router is a different story!!

would you have downloaded the part of the new iOS 16 through your data?...That might have been hard on it this month...

That is a very valid point mate and possibly makes senses as I turn WiFi off a fair bit on the iPhone!

Where do you see that on the GoMo site as I didn't think you could see that detail on their site?

Thanks

tandcapply · 03-12-2022 7:17pm

Anyone heard from gomo re 5g?

Any roadmap?

ednwireland · 24-01-2023 12:15pm

getting 4g+ ,shame I don't get it at home.

Shyboy · 16-02-2023 10:57am

So, can I just clarify...if anyone signs up now to the 14.99 plan, 5G is available or not?

TCP/IP · 27-02-2023 4:21pm

I am on the €14.99 plan and am getting 5G have been on it since it was introduced.

Aquos76 · 28-02-2023 9:33am

5G is only available on the 14.99 plans now, those on the original 9.99 plan and the 12.99 need to upgrade to the 14.99 plan to get 5G. This is obviously GoMo's way of getting people off the older plans now.

shmeee · 28-02-2023 12:52pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120296708#Comment_120296708

Well that answers my question, 2 GoMo sim's here in house and one is the 9.99 plan and other the 14.99 plan. The 14.99 plan has 5g - 4g only on the 9.99 plan. Both phones 5g enabled.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120297526#Comment_120297526

When 5G was in testing mode I had in on the 9.99 plan, but I havent had it for a few months now. I honestly don't know will I bother upgrading, most places I am in have wifi and 4G has always been adequate for my needs.

flazio · 28-02-2023 1:22pm

As above, just came off Vodafone rolling billpay to 48 knowing I was losing 5G, I'm going to stick with it as I think 48 and Clear might respond pretty soon.

eoz · 28-02-2023 2:47pm

I’m on the €9.99 plan and I’ll be sticking with it. It’s only a mater of time before they make standard to all customers. They’re trying to entice us out of the €9.99 deal before they make it standard for everyone.

madmoe · 28-02-2023 3:04pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120298087#Comment_120298087

So, if all the people who are on GoMo 4G move to GoMo 5G then will people like me who are on the €9.99 and intend to stay on it get better reception and have less congestion\slower speeds if you know what I mean?

Thanks,

M

madmoe · 28-02-2023 3:20pm

Can't even get the English text right for this....does not instil much confidence in them!! :-(

All services on the mast still use the same backhaul.

lertsnim · 28-02-2023 5:09pm

Eir/GoMo 5G doesn't work on the Pixel 6 so 4G will do me just fine.

madmoe · 28-02-2023 6:42pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120298254#Comment_120298254

So no difference\magic increases in speeds for us who stay on the €9.99 plan then! :-(

Pass.. I'm quite happy paying a tenner and getting 4G/4G+, even though I just got a S23U

I personally don't see the point in 5G if you generally have access to fixed line/fibre broadband, or don't rely on the phone for heavy streaming etc

Ten Pin · 28-02-2023 8:33pm

If the fair use limit (120GB) remains for 5G plans then it's not much of an upgrade for those on the legacy price.

5G isn't as much of an upgrade for consumers when compared to the upgrade from 3G to 4G/4G+.

There have been posts in recent years showing speed tests around 200Mbps from Gomo 4G+, that's more than plenty on mobile for most people IMO.
