No problem with AIB (or Revolut and Curve)

That's good to know (I haven't ported yet but am with AIB)

It just sounds a bit like BOI are being a tad awkward.

You choose a certain airline you get a cheap seat and end up at the same destination as the person flying business class different airline.

I think people expect way to much for €9.99, speed changes and I for one am extremely happy. I do wonder what people are actually doing - I streamed live tv - went on Facebook etc if I want WIFI I’ll connect to it.
For the price and what I now get I’m over the moon.

Don't get me wrong. It is understandable the quality will be lower when compared with Vodafone - the price tag is different. I was just sharing my experience maybe someone else is interested in the actual numbers.
Personally, I have tried all the networks in Ireland traveling a lot and Vodafone is by far the best network overall.

Received sim card after 7 days since ordering, ported in an hour, indoor speeds now 60 downl and 20 upld, so quite superb, 4g everywhere.

My sim arrived late this afternoon. I haven’t put it in to my phone yet but I am already won over. The sim packaging is Amazeballs. I’ve been playing with that for the last half an hour. Very satisfying.

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+

You are connected to the mast at H+ but so many people are connected to that mast that it slows your speed. There's only so much bandwidth that each mast can serve.
That's my theory anyway.

Same package as the Revolut card, and yes, it's pretty clever.

I ported this morning & have had several dropped calls. Driving around Dublin today Coverage drops like a stone & call ends instantly. Few seconds later cover comes back. I haven't had dropped call in 10 years or more. Had 6 today

Do I have a dodgy sim or have others had trouble like this?

califano · 30-10-2019 06:11PM

Completely seamless as it turned out. Signal went off old SIM at scheduled time agreed on signing up and just popped the new sim in and had calls. No mobile until I selected 'Meteor' service from provider list(only service listed) and from then I had 4G gomo.

Sunny!! · 30-10-2019 06:16PM

Arranged port for 4.30pm today hasn't gone through. Is it I applied to late in the day and it will go through tomorrow? Any help thanks in advance.

Dannyman76 · 30-10-2019 06:21PM

Emergency calls only now since before 5 here in West Cork

jarvis · 30-10-2019 06:44PM

So I put the sim in and I’ve only 1 bar of coverage. Date moves from 3G to E.

I’ve put in Meteor apn and rebooted. Same issue.
I’ve down airplane mode and rebooted a few times.
I’ve reset network settings.
Upstairs now I can get 3 bars and it stays on 3G. Speed test download results are all less than 1Mbps.

Am I missing something else to try?

You could just be that you are in a bad coverage area?

Ugh. I hope not!! I live here in Ashbourne!! I had meteor a few years back and I had eir mobile for the first 2 years it launched and it was fine.

You have a 14 days cooling off period from the day you receive the sim if coverage is bad. This will give you the 10 euro back you paid for the sim.

That was why I left Eir. Too many dropped calls and terrible call quality.

If you mainly use your phone for browsing and messages Gomo/Eir will be fine probably and I'd say that's the type of use most people have these days. I still make a lot of calls so I'm stuck with Vodafone.

Gadgetman496 · 30-10-2019 06:55PM

Simply a curious question!

My phone, originally eir never showed my phone number when I went into settings & tapped on "About"

Since I inserted the GoMo sim my 085 number does appear in Settings>About.

Can anyone confirm if their number appears in their phone settings under Settings>About after they ported?

lighthouse · 30-10-2019 06:59PM

Here's a peculiar one. I had Lycamobile for a few years and used it as a WiFi hotspot when on my laptop.
Earlier this year I noticed I had problems downloading emails to my laptop. I tried a load of things to no avail.
I used my laptop recently in a coffee shop, using their WiFi, and my emails were downloading fine, while they still wouldn't download when using my Lyca hotspot.
Since I got GoMo my emails download fine on my laptop while my hotspot is switched on, on my phone.
Strange but true.

My eir and GoMo sims always showed the numbers in About section.

My adult son makes no calls or texts each month. Data only for him. I receive literally dozens of calls every day in connection with my business.

I've switched sim card slots. If that doesn't work I'll try getting in touch with GoMo. If they can't do anything then I'll be porting back to Virgin. I want to exhaust all avenues first though. I am thinking it could be a bad sim as no one else seems to be getting dropped calls.

I seem to recall several reports of bad coverage in Ashbourne earlier in this thread. Try the "search this thread" function.

I’d agree. But it’s also the most expensive

Anyway, a lot of people getting their knickers in a twist here expecting 5 star stay at the ritz for the price of a holiday inn. Personally I just want somewhere to put the head down

It’s only a 30 day contract. If you don’t like it, it’s simple to leave for another network suited to your needs

GF's mother has moved over to GoMo. GF (on Three) can't text her mother. Calls go through fine. Texts can be received from other providers. Anybody had similar? Thanks

Tried Thargor's suggestion of extended off and on again, but this did not do the trick. : (

Anybody else experiencing the same issue?

Strange one.

I ported about a week ago and it shows up as the GoMo number and not my ported number.

Has anyone had a bar put on services outside the basic plan

Can you do it all at once-not keen on going from payg otherwise

...and probably charge you for calls etc.
More importantly though; if you ported will they reverse port to whatever account you had, especially if it's a legacy account.

Wouldn't u have to port. Back. Yourself

mgbgt1978 · 30-10-2019 07:42PM

They cannot port you back to a Legacy Account. That would an issue between the customer and their previous Provider. Nothing to do with Gomo.

Grumpypants · 30-10-2019 07:44PM

So in Galway city on 4G i get 1-2mbps, on the way home i can get 18mbps on 4G, and at home (which is pretty rural) i get 9mbps on H+.

No rhyme or reason to these speeds.

Yes there is, it's to do with distance(signal) from the mast and more importantly congestion.
