Oh found it. It is for 12 months

Whats 5G speed like is it throttled?

ShatterProof

Any issues with them roaming? 16g is more than gomo/48. Could be handy for people while on holidays.

What network/provider do they piggy back off?

True but it seems like an existing customer can lock in 3 or 6 months at equivalent prices.

It works out @ 7.50 euro a month if you topup by 15euro first month then second month buy bundle.

Do these Lyca offers allow tethering/hot spotting to my tablet to access internet?

You only get the 12 month offer if you order the sim with the bundle. However, you can get the 3 or 6 month offer as existing customer which works out same

What download speeds are you getting?

I'm hoping to use one of these sims in a 4g router for streaming.

You dont understand me if you topup by 15 or 20 euro you get 30 days service & keep the money until the following month to buy bundle but they dont remind you of this when you are up & your credit gets burned up fast if you dont buy bundle on time.

This should explain better :https://www.lycamobile.ie/en/special-offers/special-offers-top-up-offers/

So also get to keep your top up credit as well, can you spend this in Google play store?

Just on the subject of new plans, Tesco also have a new unlimited data plan available for €15 a month:

As a new customer with an emphasis on using for data what would be the best package to signup for?

"Just on the subject of new plans, Tesco also have a new unlimited data plan available for €15 a month:"

Unfortunately the providers are back to their old tricks again, that "unlimited" Tesco plan has Fair Usage of 100GB.

Could you put one of these into a vodafone wirelss wifi?

But sure, don't they all do that?

Frank_1969

I received the sim in the post today and activated the 10 euro unlimited plan after having to contact customer support.. Code is *116* followed by 8 digit pin number in order confirmation email, followed by #.

No data connection available without having data roaming enabled in phone settings.. Speeds are terrible, under 5mbs download..

Tried sim in D Link 4g router but it fails to connect to the Internet.. GoMo sim in same router and location gives download speed of 55mbs.

Safe to say I won't be keeping this.

Data connection working fine for me - I turned off automatic network selection and chose ‘3Ireland’

yes should work as long as the Vodafone wifi isn't sim locked to vodafone.

I tried that, but still get no Internet connection until I enable data roaming. Then, I still only get less than 2mbs indoors... What speeds are you getting?
