Eir GoMo - €9.99/month SIM only (unlimited calls, texts and 80GB data, 10Gb EU Roam

damien

Eir are bringing out a new offering called GoMo at 1130am today. It's a new mobile virtual network. All you can eat data (really 80GB) for €9.99 a month for the first 100k customers. Calls, texts and all that jazz. 10GB EU roaming data too. You can use it as a hot spot. 30 day rolling contract too. Still waiting to check the very fine print.

A condition of GoMo is that it cannot be used to business or work purposes. It would be against their terms to claim the VAT back.

That sounds bizarre alright. I don't think there's any way they'd know you'd be claiming VAT back either.

Where did you see that in the terms GarIT?

So I got my sim today but it has the wrong phone number on it (I chose to keep my current number and have the verification text). I initially thought they sent me the wrong one and submitted a contact form saying that. I’ve now logged on and see that my account has the same number as the sim I received. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m assuming I’ll have to change the number back to my own and pay for a new sim now if I can’t get them to sort it

Got SIM today, had originally set change over to the 18th, but moved it forward to today, and I moved it forward to 10 minutes from the time I was changing it on the site, but current sim is still working...

I signed up now and set a move date in November, I’m assuming that means I won’t pay for October (aside from the activation fee)??

it now seems the activation fee is the first months fee

whats stopping someone buying this offer and only using the sim for data say in a dongle?

uchimata83

One thing to be aware of in this, and I'm open to correction. Your sim is activated from the day it is purchased, so if you port at the end of november, you will have to pay from today until then for that number. This was the way the old meteor/eir network operated.

If you buy the card with the port date set up for the end of November, then your fine.

They wouldn't, but I'm just saying you can't really complain there is no receipt showing VAT when the service is not available to business users.

Signed up for this myself. Had been paying €30 a month for Three Broadband. However, I only need a few GB a month (motion sensor camera that record locally, so only need to "dial in" if something happens). Happy to pay €10 a month for this.

There's no downloadable invoice there and nothing showing VAT charge etc, which you'd need for accounting purposes. That's all usually displayed in bills, but seems to be nothing available for the initial 9.99 paid

I think people are underestimating how quick this number will be reached, ID Mobile launched a similar deal a few years ago, it was all unlimited for 15e and was half of that for people with a friends and family offer. In the time they existed the only had 40k customers

Not to mention there are about 6 million mobile subscribers in the country and over a million of those are machine-to-machine so you're looking at about 5 million subscribers. 100,000 customers would put them at 2% market share. Getting 2% market share in 2 weeks is not going to happen.

Not really because it's an "activation fee".

3 options are:

Sign up now, use from now - 10 euro now + 10 euro in November
Sign up now, use from November - 10 euro now + 10 euro in November
Sign up in November, use from November - 10 euro then + 10 euro in December (no guarantee deal will cost the same though)

If you sign up now, you're paying until the end of October. So if you're not going to use it in October you will not get any usage for that 10 euro you paid, but they'll probably have more than 100k next month.

Just signed up too, thanks OP.

Only concern is the coverage, possibly. But can always crawl back to 3 if that is an issue!

Rang eir to give notice on my 30 day sim only plan and was told I don't need to give notice and once the number is ported it will cancel automatically?

I'm a bit sceptical.... anyone else get told this? I was under the impression you need to give notice on the 30 day plans.

I signed up for gomo with a future date in November so hoping I wont get charged until then, still haven't received any email from them after signing up yesterday afternoon, this happen anyone else? Only small thing is the lack of wifi calling, I do get a bit of use out of it but its not that big a deal either.

I moved from rolling contract with Eir a few weeks ago and it's just shut down once the new operator takes over. I got a final bill but it was for €0.00. The only thing you need to do is set the port date to around your billing date. I assume if it's too far from that date you'll owe them something.

so kind of is relevant if ur gonna sign up 30/31 oct. better to wait till 1st nov so u don’t pay extra €10

Well yes but there's the risk they'll have more than 100k by then but as others have said it is unlikely.

Anyways it's an activation fee, so it would be charged anytime. The fact it seems to cover the rest of the month you sign up in is a bonus.

I can't see that happening. iD had some great offerings (especially the staff offer for friends and family when they first set up) and by the time they closed down they only had about 50,000 customers.

As far as I recall, that was always the worst in terms of coverage

Anyone in any rural areas happy with their Meteor/Eir network? I know 3G was non existent in parts of rural Tipp on Three, until we moved to Vodafone. Now we get by quite easily

A recent independent report by comreg showed Eir has the best coverage in Ireland

my wife is currently with Eir (non contract) paying €25pm

am i wrong in assuming the service/coverage would be exactly the same as using the same network?

also would her number need to be ported seeing as currently with Eir

A little. I believe Eir still has 2G masts that are available if your connection to 4G and 3G are too weak or unavailable. GoMo will not be providing 2G.

Did you already schedule your move and validate your number via SMS. I put my new sim in my phone before I rescheduled my move. Try sticking your new sim card in your phone and see if that activates your service. My move date was a week away. I changed it to today as I wasn't expecting to received the GoMo sim card so fast.

I haven't received my new sim yet.

The reason I can't move is because I sent it to another address and won't get my hands on the sim for a few weeks..

If you pay for the month in advance how are people charged for out of plan charges?

October's out of plan charges would be added to the 9.99 fee for November, I can see problems here though as they aren't giving themselves much of a time frame, that's the reason why many providers always went with the 5/6 and 7th of the month to issue bills
