I want this deal but as I said previously, can't afford for the phone to be out of commission for my line of work . Alternative is to throw the SIM into a spare phone and just tell the people who need to get in touch with me to use the alternate number . I assume , at least, that there are no issues with the number they assign you before the port ? Also , if anyone else wants to reply, what option did they put for pay as you go customers from other networks? Maybe you are correct about that and that is causing the issues. I think there are 4 options when I looked at it last.

I guess I took a chance and maybe some people can't afford to be without their phone. Pity so many people are having such problems because when it works it's pretty good.
TBH the biggest potential issue down the line is going to be contention.

If there were a few instances , you'd put it down to teething issues . Not the case here . They made a bollix of it no matter what way you look at it . Maybe they were willing to face the complaints. But word travels around , great for some , **** for others. It's a brilliant deal but I'd say alot of people never expected the hassle they've gotton over this .
lighthouse wrote: » Thing is if you wait you may miss out on the first 100,000. Why not order the SIM and if you are worried about the porting wait a couple of weeks before you port. I wonder are some people entering the wrong information when you are asked about the type of account you have ie bill pay or PAYG, they use different names for these. There are 4 different options and you obviously need to put in the correct one. Probably doesn't explain all the issues.

Lennyzip wrote: » Yeah thats cool but not ideal for people lets say who need their personal phone for work, etc. I simply couldn't afford to go without my phone while porting issues are getting solved. Also don't have the time to spend on the Chat function either . It would drive me bananas. If it went smoothly I'd jump on it . But there's too many comments here saying it went arse ways which is not a good sign of how they operate.

Granted a lot of people here have had problems but the majority of people that don't have problems don't bother posting here or on the GoMo Facebook page. My SIM came after 6 days and ported in a few minutes the following day. Even for people that are having problems a bit of hassle at the start will soon be forgotten a few months down the line. For 10 yo yos it's a steal in my view

It definetly sounded too good to be true . The savings would pay for my iptv for the year too which would be handy . I wouldn't be as intensive on the data use as I say alot of people are here so I'll wait and see . Will be very interested though to see what they announce once they hit the 100k subs . What's in store after that is anybody's guess .

Ordered last Thursday 17th after lunch time and received the sim today, delivered by an post and I had to sign for it. I did not port my number as I wanted to see if the coverage and quality was up to scratch so I've put the sim into an old phone I had lying around and tried it out today. Call quality appears to be ok, but I only tried a short twenty second call earlier in the day. My main issue is the 3g/4g or lack thereof!! I'm based in South Dublin and all evening I've had an E symbol for data (Samsung Note 4 phone). The speedtests I've ran throughout the day have either not worked at all - 7 times out of 10 or if they have I'm getting around 2.82 down and 0.8 up. I don't care much for the numbers but I'm finding I can barely load a Google search or news site. Is there anything I could do with the settings to check the data? I've already tried several restarts, airplane mode on/off, mobile data on/off and nothing helps. Anyone else experience this in Dublin? I'll keep an eye on it over the next while but I'm not sure if this is a teething issue with the network (wishful thinking as I know they're using meteors old infrastructure) or if this bargain was too good to be true. .
