    My order shows as in progress and I'm fully switched as per this morning.

    I ported last Monday and mine still says in progress, I wouldn’t worry to much about it, if everything is working as it should I’d say just forget about it.

    Quick question - do i leave the old sim in until it goes dead or change to the gomo and wait for porting?

    You leave the old sim in and wait till it shows Emergency Calls only then switch to the new one

    Ported 3 numbers from VM since Thursday, no issues to note.
    Internet seems to be better at my home location.

    No need to put the GoMo SIM in until the port is complete but you can if you want.

    They throttle until the start of your next billing period which is the 1st of each month.

    And definitely no out of bundle data charges?

    No, but I'd imagine if you were to totally tear the ass out of it they could/would apply the fair usage rule.

    ... and I suppose they have no min/max speeds advertised, so you can't complain when you get slow internet?

    For the price I got one to see. It's a useful backup and it is incredibly cheap. But I am getting consistently less than 1Mbit in basically Dublin city centre.

    I hope for their sake they protected the Eir proper network and just allow the GoMo APN a certain percent.

    I'm paying Vodafone €45 for 50Gb so it is many times the cost, but the difference is stunning.

    Anybody know how to check your Data, Call & Text usage so far?

    I cannot seem to find it when I log into My GoMo??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,429 ✭✭✭Kenjataimu


    Ordered 19th and got welcome email last night.

    Sim card numbers have appeared on the website but they're not my numbers so I'm assuming that they'll port over.

    How long have people waited for their sims once the above has happened?

    Ok , may be someone who has an account can help you out . Pity there's no app at the moment .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 560 ✭✭✭chipfox


    Is there a particular APN to use?

    Whenever I lose connection the only way to get it back is to restart my phone. Even disabling and reenabling mobile data won't sort it.

    No idea why this is happening. So far the internet is spotty and cannot be compared to the Eir network. I'll probably cancel soon and stick with eir

    Nothing to complain about here!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 433 ✭✭g6fdyotp5nj2l7


    Lads could someone who understands this stuff tell me if porting is automated or must a person physically do something to initiate it. Sorry if it's a stupid question


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,670 ✭✭✭jonnny68


    Internet is actually faster than Eir getting 101mb download in Cabra can't complain about that.

    Definitely recommend GoMo, the marketing might be cringeworthy with teenagers with garish clothes and ridiculous music but the actual service so far is grand, and other networks will undoubtedly suffer because of this great offer.

    You must physically do something to initiate it.

    Go to your GoMo on-line account and choose the option to "Move my number"

    Oh yeah I understand that much but must someone at gomo or 3 physically do something


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,547 ✭✭✭Gadgetman496

    I don't know for sure but I'd imagine it's automated.

    Gomo will initiate it (eventually:rolleyes:). Keep using your current sim, and when you lose service just replace it with the new sim.

    Thanks. If I was to contact 3 (my current provider) would they know if a port is in progress on my number. All gomo can say is more than likely it is and should go through eventually.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,936 ✭✭✭SmartinMartin


    Bear in mind that their customer service agents have reduced themselves to shrugging and saying "computer sez dunno" in reply to any query.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 258 ✭✭HairMare


    i had advised them moving number, they gave me port date put in sim and voila put in pin number and away you go


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59 ✭✭sean29


    Getting terrible speeds with gomo at home (Clondalkin)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 798 ✭✭✭lucast2007us


    Got text that by sim was dispatched this morning. Typical bank holiday ha but at least I know I'll have it Tuesday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,148 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    Could I suggest that anyone posting data speeds could include who they were previously with and the before speeds. Has anyone noticed a difference of gomo vs eir?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,461 ✭✭✭ando


    Wife’s porting went over fine thankfully this afternoon, all working.. I’m in the clear :P

    Only thing is I can’t log onto her account on the GoMo website, their email system won’t email us any registration details no matter how much I try to register. Anyway, I’m not worrying about this until things settle down with their support, main thing was the porting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 653 ✭✭✭Gonad


    Do you get a text or email when sim is on the way?

    Ordered on 15th and still no sign

    Are you using a Hotmail/MS address? These addresses seem to be unable to receive GoMo emails.
