    Reset network settings then on the phone - test the sim in another phone.

    Will have to try that next time I'm near that phone

    Wondering if there's a way to check usage? Nothing on the account seems to indicate you can. Maybe after the billing period it'll probably generate one's usage.

    Yeah I think it'll appear there after the first month

    It's a bit tough if you're confronted with ~ 250 pages of posts on a small mobile device. I did try reading some but none I saw answered the specific question I posed. I got the answer I needed and no thanks to you and your self espoused helpfulness.

    To be honest, there are dozens of posts in this thread (including the last few pages) directly answering your question about “what the coverage and data speeds are like”. And given the fact that experience will differ hugely depending on time and location, going through the existing posts and seeing what the average experience seems to be would give a much better idea than sticking to the specific experience of the 2 or 3 people who will directly answered a new post with that question.

    Just saying ...

    Into day 11 now of not being able to receive any calls from other networks. Support don’t seem to have a clue. Complaint logged with comreg who from talking to seem to be dealing with a lot of complaints in relation to Gomo

    It'll probably be available online... Can't your phone do that for you? Pretty sure it can, depending on what phone you have...

    I still know people that see no problem in watching video in SD, something I consider almost unbearable.
    I find it hard to watch some 70s films in HD. It just seems wrong for the 70s.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,368 ✭✭✭PukkaStukka


    It wasn't a very specific question
    More specific that your useless and profoundly unhelpful answer was. Thankfully, you and your ilk are in the minority around here.

    You're missing out, the transfer of 2001 from 70mm film to 4k uhd digital is amazing.

    Check you have an APN setup. It should automatically be there but not always.

    Only unhelpful to those truly lazy enough to not bother to read the last few pages of the thread to see if their general query has been asked and answered, which it has many many times. The coverage is the same as Meteor/Eir and speed is dependant on location, signal and which technology your device connects on. Good for some, poor for others

    And your last two sentences instead of a presumptuous expletive blurt that I'm lazy would've been fine.

    You got called out for being downright lazy and are now just making a show of yourself. Others have thanked my posts. We'll just leave it at that.

    After getting a message from support yesterday that my port was 'stuck' I checked the website and saw that I need to reschedule. I've done that now so fingers crossed for 9am tomorrow. I've changed my other half's port for the same time in case that was the issue. We're both on the same account at VM but had seceduled different port times.

    Porting works much better during the week. We've ported 3, mine took 18 hours over the last weekend. The other two took minutes mid week

    Tried to port from Tesco at 1500 today, nothing happened. Went online and submitted another port request

    No you were presumptuous and no stage did you have the decency to acknowledge what I said about wading through 250 pages of pre-existing posts. It's not that easy on a small screen.

    Anyone can like someone else's posts but I see nobody wading inm I've no qualms about calling out a presumptuous smart ass for what they are. Likes or no likes.

    And as I said, the last two sentences in your post twice ago would've been fine. But no, your a high horse alright with a name to live up to and you had to add two and two and get five thinking I was lazy. You're not really that helpful, are you? No, you're quite deluded if you think you are.

    If I were you I'd stop now before making a show of yourself.

    Do it tomorrow, see my post above

    Thread needs a decent mod to shutdown the chatter. This is a BA thread (though you would hardly think it!), take porting issues etc to either Consumer Affairs or Mobile forums, end of!

    Could take it to the talk to eir forum.
    Oh wait...... :mad:

    According to Adrian Weckler in the Indo, he expects the 100,000 subscribers to be hit before Xmas.

    I'd be amazed if they pulled/changed it when it gets to 100k.
    Why would they turn away more customers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,368 ✭✭✭PukkaStukka


    Here's a techie question: is the GoMo data APN the exact same as the Eir one?


  • Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 9,295 Mod ✭✭✭✭Aquos76


    Can Anyone who's successfully ported confirm what the coverage and data speeds are like?

    In fairness, you will need to be more specific, where are you looking to find out about. I’m in Waterford an I’ve excellent coverage and speeds, however I was up in Dublin today and I found certain parts to be very poor and other areas were very good.

    I don't know, why would they take on more customers that are not paying enough to upgrade the network to acceptable levels. It is Eir so you could have a good point.

    Yes.

    Why did they give the option to do it today then

    Asked on the basis that me porting to virtual operators previously was met with very poor performance, even though the "parent" network itself was very good. I hope VMNO's have improved a lot since!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,980 ✭✭✭✭tuxy

    They want people to sign up and foresight is not one of Eir's strong points.

    I think you're the one making a show of himself here. You've offered nothing to this thread and now you're clogging it up trying to justify your failure to do the most basic research.
