Got nothing off VF myself . What gives ?

I'm with them years

all I ever get is constant bullsh1t offers trying to upsell me from spending a tenner to 20

Last week me and the son got 20 credit and loads of data

Port started yesterday morning, my old sim went dead and i switched over. i can make calls and texts with GoMo sim and it is showing up as my ported number however i cannot receive calls or texts.

Has this happened others? If so do you know will it sort itself out or will i need to get onto them? Grateful for any advice

So after porting your number (in order to keep it) you have to go into a BOI branch to change your number associated with your account?? Ummm.

Different network Id

Right.

Between people taking ages to get SIMs, ports going wrong & now news that I have to go into the bank to change over my number... seems like a lot of hassle for the sake of saving €10 a month

Happened me. 13 days later still trying to get them to sort it. Complaint lodged with comreg over them. Gomo couldn’t care less.

Can someone please clarify this...Can I or can I not use the gomo sim card in a dongle for mobile broadband? ?

Kalyke wrote: »

You definitely can.

So is it just a case of simply removing the sim card from my eir dongle and away I go??

my number ported an hour ago, however now I've run into a problem, no internet data at all. Data was working perfectly before the port.

toggle data off, data on,
turn the phone off & then on again,
remove the sim, replace the sim...

Yeah I heard about a few people getting credit from here . But got nothing myself . I was happy enough with VF but when I figured I was probably topping up too early and them effectively getting an extra €20 over the year , enough was enough. And I never had credit to call people as the €20 top up was pretty much just for the data and free VF to VF . Was always conscience of who I was texting & ringing on other networks.

Number ported at 3pm so a 3 hour wait.
I was on Eir prepay at €20pm for the same offer so can compare directly.
Speedtest at 11:30 was 26mb down and 18mb up on eir. Speedtest at 12:30 was 15mb down and 8mb up. I'm switching between H+ and 4g+ now whereas with Eir it was 4g+ 99% of the time. Will give it a few days and see if there's and noticeable difference.

An interesting question is what % of people have problems compared to the thousands who are signing up.
I accept no one should have any problems but at the end of the day what do people expect for a tenner a month. Nobody's forcing anyone to sign up!

Direct message on their Facebook/Twitter GoMo pages.

I've been with Eir a good while now, i went in with eyes open in relation to what to expect i.e. crap customer service....but at €9.99 a month i'm will to accept that.

Ordered my sim last week, yet to be dispatched. Colleague ordered yesterday, and his is on the way....they like to keep you on your toes.

jakdublin · 30-10-2019 04:08PM

Adrian Weckler from the Indo just tweeting about GoMo now. Says complaints coming in and points out that you're paying while you're waiting up to ten days for the SIM but argues that you'll make it up over time and people should know that for a tenner a month, poor customer service is part of the deal.

Sure isn't it better to be shooting the breeze here than always harking on about the weather

Same here, sometimes the data doesn’t kick in after losing signal, simple airplane mode and back job fixes it though. I reckon it’s first time connecting to new masts, but I could be entirely wrong with how mobile networks work...

Had showing order in progress but getting this now FFS

Had this with Eir too, had to hit airplane mode the odd time to get mobile data back but I put it down to having a Xiaomi with only 1 LTE band, obviously that wasn't the issue.

Deep breaths... the login on the website is down currently (for everyone, or at least most people). Shouldn't effect your port... hopefully

lucast2007us · 30-10-2019 04:41PM

I'm on H+ 98 Percent of the time around the house however the speeds are 15 Mbps down.
Was only getting 0.8 Mbps on 3 before the port.

Happy just confused as to why it's saying H+

FYI if you port over and bank with BOI you will have to get your number reauthorised for texting verification bit of a pita

So you are saying that you still have the same number you originally authenticated with (after porting it) & BOI won't accept it?

That would mean anyone changing providers will have to physically go to the bank to re-authenticate even though they didn't have to go there when they originally authenticated.

I wonder what others who ported who are with other banks experienced?

Gooser14 · 30-10-2019 04:53PM

I had the same last Friday and the sim arrived yesterday. Your sim will probably arrive in the next couple of days.

No problem with AIB (or Revolut and Curve)
