Out of interest, where are 48 saying this or what are they saying?

As in will it still be manually changing APN settings or other settings, or automatic roaming be possible?

On 48 yself but strongly considering moving to 3due to the pain of roaming in UK.

Data speeds are also poor.

Has anyone tried roaming with 48 recently? I haven't since August but it was a nightmare then.

i did last weekend. Stayed beside Stansted Airport and for a change it said 4g. Rather than 3g the other 5 times ive been in UK this year. One speed test was decent but it fluctuated and 3g became more common. It worked but in the hotel the poor wifi was more reliable

shineon23

Cheers. Thats great.

And did the roaming kick in automatically or was there the usual messing about with settings?

McSween

Messing with settings. Turning phone off and turning airplane mode on for twenty seconds etc

Cheers,

I'd still be inclined to leave unless they sort out an automatic roaming option.

I got 4G in Spain and France two weeks ago (see https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119630119/#Comment_119630119) but I had to change the roaming profile in the SIM Menu for it to work.

Just back from France. Had no roaming with 48. Was in Gran Canaria in July and also no roaming. No roaming in Gran Canaria last year either. Currently on the look out for a switch. Heading to the UK next weekend and if I have no roaming over there it'll be a pain.

Post mobile is back working properly and I am getting great 4G speeds. 15 for a calendar month.

50Gb suits people with home wifi

My Post Mobile Data speeds are still hit and miss. I'm probably going to port away from it.

Could you use this sim in a mobile router for home broadband ?

Saw this a few weeks ago and decided to move a number to 3.....that was the 9th of September, after about 15 attempts I cannot port my number over from GoMO. Both sides blame the other, now trying to cancel my move and that's just as bad. Frustrating to say the least....

Flinty997

I gave up trying to port to it.

ACAandCTA

Yes, works fine in a 4G home router (SIM card)... 5G routers are pretty expensive still, I'm sure would work in it too.

Just need to make sure your router is unlocked.

Can auto renew be set up for this or do you have to top up every 28 days ?

Just tested 15e three prepaid plan. In phone and 4g router speeds are limited to 10mbs. Most of the day speeds are 5mbs, very slow. And last month on 20e preapid plan I was getting much faster 4g in phone and in router(10-90mbs)

5g is very fast. I am getting between 250mbps and 800mbps.

You can schedule a top up every 28 days on the 3 website or app.

For those on 48, I have been abroad a few times recently.

To get the roaming to kick in I have had to Settings - Sim Applications - When abroad and click automatic update in there.

Might also take a couple of switch on and offs and aeroplane mode on and off.

Definitely a huge pain as I had no idea how to do it first time and had no roaming for 2 days first time.

I was in Lithunia toward and of September and romaing was finally 4G....Was pleasently surprised!

Switching to lyca sim for the home interent at €10 a month for unlimited data. Had been on 48 in a 4G router, speed varied between20 and 100 mb/s, had to switch out the sims every 3 weeks or so when used 100GB. So will be much the same price as the €7.99 per 100gb of 48 data but with less hassle. 5G router arrives tomorrow...they are pricey! Hopefully good performance!

Are three actually charging for checking voicemail????? I merged with my wife on the family deal and looked and saw a charge, we are bill pay 35 euro a month. Absolute lunacy if they are charging for this.

Yep it was on the homepage on my phone... Only for a year, then up to €20. If decent speed though I might stick with it

_Godot_

I don't have to top up every month on the hero plan, do I? I know on months I don't top up, I'd have no service but I want to get the sim and wait on porting my number from 48 as I've got another month service on 48 from the 5th November to the 5th December and I want to get the 3 sim now.

I changed to 3 on saturday. The man in store said just a minimum top within 6 months to keep the lime active. But when 28 days runs out youll be able to receive calls if you dont top up
