    iPhone users will need a special premium tarrif from Vodafone... It will offer 500mb/sec download 100 monthly minutes, international calls charged at a premium rate and walled garden internet that restricts use to Apple approved sites. However thaeywill provide you with a titanium identify card that lets people know that you own an iPhone, in case they didn't realise that in the first place.
    Am I missing something here? What's Vodafone got to do with this?

    You are charged per calendar month, not the day you sign up?

    So if you sign up on Oct 31, you pay 9.99 for just 1 day? That's rough!

    But if you sign up today and choose your change date as Nov 1 then you avoid the Oct fee.

    I'm on the 25euro VM 30 day contract, so need to give them my month notice anyway

    The new French owner of Eir operates a similar popular 9.99 EUR package in France via Free Mobile. The Free Mobile package in France was highly popular. The Free Mobile website might give a clue as to where Eir are going with GoMo.

    iPhone users wouldn't be seen on a lesser brand of network. Vodafone is the best, because they are the most expensive.

    I've got a dual sim unlocked phone. Highly recommended.

    I don't get this. What is a dual sim unlocked phone? How will this work with GoMo?

    I had a eir/meteor payg mobile data sim in a mobile router, 50gb 30 day for €30. Most months the 50gb covered us. A few weeks ago I moved to an Eir payg phone sim in the router when they stated offering fair usage all you can eat data for €20 a month. I guess this new gomo.ie could work very well for me in the router as it should give the same speeds as they use the Eir network. Anyone know yet if the Eir Apn works with the Gomo.ie sim in a router?

    So is the consensus that this isn't €9.99 for your lifetime, but rather €9.99 per contract lifetime, which is 30 days rolling? Very misleading advertising if so!

    You'll be out into a billing cycle, today it's likely to be the 25th of every month.

    If you're on a 30 day contract you don't have to give a months notice. You paid for a month in advance in the beginning so you will be due a portion of that back to you (as long as you've been on the contract more than 30 days)

    Probably - was the same with meteor/eir so I can't see them being any different

    If you signup for this and port your number, do you need to tell your previous provider that you're moving? Assuming you're on a rolling 30 day contract.

    No, I've changed many times, it's done by verifying an SMS

    I might be wrong but I think when the port of the number happens you pay the balance on the last bill and it closes automatically.

    You do indeed.

    You need to give 30 days notice on those rolling contracts.

    Rolling contacts are paid in advance so you can just leave

    Without reading this whole thread, I always was told to stay away from MVNO networks (I live really in the middle of nowhere, I think Vodafone is the only usable network in about a 3km radius of the house). This would be a bad idea for me right?

    I read it as a 30 day rolling contract. Just signed up but won't port number until tried and tested.

    Great idea thanks. I’m doing exactly the same. Sign-up complete.

    Bye Bye Vodafone. It’s been nice knowing you these last 25 years..... ever since my eircell 088

    It's going to have the same coverage as Eir/Meteor

    It's a phone that will use 2 sim cards simultaneously and is not locked to any particular network. In general, you need to buy them directly from manufacturer or retailer rather than from a telecom service provider. Google it.

    MVNO are usually on old o2 network which is pure junk. Eir used to be MVNO on meteor.

    Tempting but ill pass, lasted with Eir for 2 weeks before moving to 3 due to non existent phone and customer service and im fairly happy with them. Hopefully this causes other telecom operators to reduce prices

    Customer Service might be the area that suffers most.

    Personally never had a problem with Eir mobile customer service. Never . Needed to phone then about 3 times in 10 years and not once an issue.

    I bought my current phone with Vodafone. I'm assuming I have to get that unlocked for the SIM to work

    Customer service is kinda irrelevant as it’s a sim only plan. If you not happy move on. Technically you probably have to give 30 day notice.
    But Just sign up to another network and your done. New operator will cancel old one. Might be down a few quid as you did not give notice. But that should be it.

    I have been sim only surfing for years.
