Because unlimited in the telco industry means the average consumer could never use that much and so they put limits on it ergo why GoMo does not allow business use

There might be a distinction between "network" and "operator", and for a time, Meteor handsets were sold unlocked. I'll be interested to find out. I hope it works.

Meteor and eMobile/Eir (and now confirmed for GoMo) use the same MNC (mobile network code) code (03, though eMobile also used to use 07) which is the code used for locking a phone to an operator, that is why you could use each others SIM when they were locked.

Motorola always have had weird radio bands on their phones, could that have something to do with it?

Your mobile has nothing to do with your home broadband - if your phone already as a wifi profile set for your VF router then it will still continue work fine.
(unless I am missing something else in the question)

What type of landline call numbers are included? i.e. are 0818 numbers etc included? Thanks.

0818 etc are classed as "national calls", the plan includes calls to "Irish mobiles", and "Irish landlines". National calls cost 30c per minute.

Landline numbers are your 01, 022 etc geographic code numbers.

From what I could find online eir supports 1800 and the phone supports 1800
(found mention of 800 but there's conflicting specs on that)

Im waiting to see that what GoMo are providing is similar to what Eir provides, as its what I expect. So far it seems as that wont be the case apart from some sporadic comparisons which say they are the same.Disappointing really.

Im currently with eir in Dublin... I get between 4-8mb. They aren't that quick as it is...

Still changing to gomo though as its a 20 quid saving each month!

Wrong!!!
All lo-call numbers will, by law from the beginning of December, have to be included in all call packages (most will be phased out over the next 2 years)
Nearly all providers have included them at this point including GoMo

From 1st December 2019 such non-geographic numbers should be included as per Comreg's direction.

It would appear then that this thread is of no use to you. Plenty other threads out there for you to troll.

Eir speeds and GoMo speeds will be similar to each other based on location, traffic and handset.

Eir engineer confirmed today and real world testing in the same building confirmed today in Dublin City.

ComReg has introduced two measures designed to address the cost of using such numbers and also tackle confusion among consumers about the differences between the numbers. The changes being introduced by ComReg are:

Geo-linking Condition: from 1 December 2019, a call to an 1850, 1890, 0818 or 076 [VOIP calls] NGN will cost no more than the cost of calling a landline number. This means that if landline calls are included in your “bundle of call minutes” then NGN calls will also be “in bundle”. No separate charge will apply for any NGN call (unless you have used up your bundle of call minutes).

NGN Consolidation: From January 1 2022, the five NGN ranges will be reduced to two. The 1850, 1890, 076 ranges will be withdrawn and the 1800 (Freephone) and 0818 range will remain. This 3 year period is to allow organisations that use NGNs time to prepare.

So from December, 1850, 1890, 0818 and 076 call will be included in the unlimited GoMO bundle.

Anyone else keep getting these really annoying messages from IonMobile whoever they are? Nearly every half hour.

You've reached your account credit limit, you won't be able to go out of bundle until after your next billing date. To speak to our chat team or view our faqs go to www.GoMo.ie. That's it!

So many people b*tching about the speed not being the same as some other provider
Reality is you probably never even use those speeds except when doing a speed test (like every new GoMo customer is trying to do this week)

yeah, i find the disappointment with 4G speeds by a few on here a bit

Only if you have some mad experiment running on your phone or actually want to use this purely for tethering as a home internet connection, a solid 3G/H+ connection is all you need!

I think that’s been positively confirmed within the thread a fair few times now (i know there are a lot of pages)

From Q&As

"We have an out of bundle cap of €30. This means you can spend up to €30 on charges that are not included in your bundle. This includes Premium Rate Services such as 1890/1850 numbers, any non-standard text messages, Roaming over the EU cap, roaming outside the EU and international calls and texts. We have this limit to protect our customers. If you receive this message, you will not be able to incur any more out of bundle charges until after your next bill".

BTW from December 1, call to 1850, 1890, 0818 or 076 numbers will cost no more than the cost of calling a landline number (i.e. will be in bundle and so free).

People who ordered before 8pm on Tuesday should have their sim by now, I am only basing this on the fact that son 1 ordered his at 5pm on Tuesday, he got his sim yesterday, son 2 ordered his after 7pm Tuesday, he got his this morning and I ordered mine around 8.30pm and I have yet to receive mine yet

I ordered mine at 20:39 on Tuesday. Got an e-mail from An Post a few minutes ago saying that my SIM had been despatched. Hopefully you should be getting the same.

Hi,
Currently an Eir customer on their 9.99(6 month intro offer) ->(15.99 it think soon) 30 rolling contract.
Am based in Galway city and my data usage is usually 1Gb per month, the odd youtube video, mainly download a podcast and Guardian live blog.

Is there anything I should be aware of before porting my current Eir number over? Seems like a fine price - just nervous its too good to be true.

I was looking at some part of the GoMo documentation yesterday (I can’t remember where) and there was a reference to Ion. It struck me at the time that GoMo had done a cut and paste and forgotten to change the name. Based on your post my guess is that it could be a sister company and they are using some shared infrastructure.
