48 mobile

Hi all,

Thinking of switching to 48 payg from 3 as they permit tethering.

They are very cheap..so what's the catch, aside of the lack of 5g?

All I can say is that I've been getting it for a long time around Clare and Limerick.

I wonder whether its phone number is printed on the package/SIM card or it is obtained after the SIM card is activated successfully.

EU Directive permits tethering how you consume your data is up to you not the provider

it is on the 3 Network , ask someone for a referral code so you can both get vouchers .

I use it in Limerick and Clare mainly and coverage is good , I did seem to find some black spots in my house but don’t think that is their fault .

When in Ireland they don’t allow tethering but I sometimes use it for tethering abroad with 0 issue .

Zombie thread, 7.99 plan doesn't have 5g anymore. All current plans come with 5g. I tether all the time, works fine.

Can buy separate credit for this, or use a VOIP provider.

Ah OK thanks, good to know. I had another Gomo SIM at the time that had no problem ringing the UK.

international calls/texts use the Tesco International Calling app for Ire/UK residents. Register via your mobile number.

Saves me a fortune, texts from app arrive as sent from your mobile number.

Well undercuts your mobile provider international rates, you can get a top up at Tesco checkout rather than register a debit/credit card.
