They could be advertising anything. Just look at this image with the tag line 'Simplicity': How does a picture of some gimp with a terrible tracksuit and constipation convey simplicity? Regardless, the price is still great.

People are aware of the brand, and they have a very specific demo. Are the people in this thread that are giving out about the campaign part of this demo they're targeting? i.e. twenty somethings looking for "subscription" pricing (note how bill pay is almost absent from their marketing... it's "9.99 a month..." just like Spotify / Netflix...).

A lot of the interest was from the initial post on this thread which had none of those marketing images. If this was €30 a month, nobody would be interested in it. The marketing images are shíte, that doesn't change whether the offering is good value or not. If they had some other marketing images people would still be aware of it and they would still be signing up for it.

Contacted them numerous times all i have got is 2-3 days delivery time, after that they said up to 5 days now they telling me 5-7 days delivery time. They are a bit of a joke to be honest no support what so ever and cannot tell me if sim is sent or not. My wife ordered hers same day as me but at 9pm and guess what it was delivered this morning. Also both parents ordered on Thursday evening around 9pm also and they have numbers assigned to their accounts and will be with them tomorrow. I'm first to order out of the 4 of us and last to get anything lol pure joke. Equality and all that jazz.

In Italy Iliad launched into a market covering a population of around 60 million, that had recently stabilised after a period of price aggression, with a plan costing just €5.99 per month. It signed up 635,000 customers in the period between its 29 May launch and the end of financial Q2 – thus about a week for 100,000 customers is a reasonable assumption – and reached the 1 million mark within 50 days; it now has 4 million customers and has captured 4.7% of the market, again excluding M2M, regulator Agcom reports. Its €5.99 offer has disappeared, but its 50 GB plan costs just €7.99 per month. It is a stretch to suggest that GoMo will have as dramatic an impact in Ireland. The population is significantly smaller at under 5 million and while GoMo is offering a cheaper plan than those currently on the market, €9.99 is a more measured price level. However, it is a highly attractive plan that will find strong favour and will doubtless trigger a response from the rest of the market. Ireland is getting the Niel treatment and there's not a lot its existing telcos can do about it.
