    Wouldn't you have to port back yourself?

    Possibly. I was thinking that if the port to GoMo was instigated at time of purchase, then the reverse should (or could) be the procedure.
    Just as well I kept my main number for the time being.

    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.

    Ya I think you miss understand how mobile signals work, there are so many factors to take into account, indoor/outdoor, congestion on the network, distance to transmitter, available bandwidth on that transmitter... Congestion is the main one you'd notice, city = more devices = more draw on the available bandwidth = slower speeds on "faster" connections.

    No but you can port back to whatever company you want. I ported to GoMo this morning. I can port to another company tomorrow morning & under the cooling off period they can only charge me for the day. Not for call or text. They can only charge 1/30 of 9.99. If I have it 10 days then they can only charge 10/30. The 9.99 to set up the account to fully refundable.

    One of the wonderful EU laws imo

    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?

    I ported last Friday. My 085 number is shown here.

    No, you can't do it all at once.

    No, no one has had a bar put on services outside the basic plan.

    My response was to your previous question, you should know what you asked.

    Well exactly two weeks after ordering I still haven't received my sim. No number etc. showing on my account order still showing as in progress.

    Tomorrow it will be officially the 10 working days that they mention under their delivery FAQ.

    As the first billing date is 1st November I'm going to wait until the 2nd before I kick up a fuss about not receiving my sim. As i don't have any account details or number I'm assuming that I won't be receiving a bill on the 1st and should get nearly a full month usage from my activation price of €9.99.

    Mind you I will probably receive bill and then i get to give out loads;););)

    I got my number ported from Virgin Media to GoMo, however my dads number was scheduled to move 8am yesterday morning, it still has not done so, the account says "port in progress" and his old SIM has stopped working, but when we try to call him now (on his original number) it says invalid phone number, we can call him on his temporary GoMo number. Has anyone else experienced this? Tomorrow morning it will be 48Hrs which doesn't seem right, wouldn't mind only we have had a death in the family and he is expecting a lot of phone calls. I spoke to GoMo chat today, they just said they will send an email, haven't received anything yet though.

    Large amount of people with issues porting. It seems to be a lottery whether it’s straight forward or not. Normally if something goes wrong with porting it can be sorted in a day or two. This crowd though are a complete nightmare to deal with when anything goes wrong.

    Hopefully I can get it sorted tomorrow then, there is an option to cancel the port so I thought about rescheduling, but was kind of afraid that would cause more problems (As the number already seems to be deactivated or something)

    The activation price 9.99 is literally to activate the sim. This is a one off payment. The 9.99 per month is totally separate from the activation 9.99. It won't make any difference reporting it tomorrow or in a few days. You won't gain or lose anything either way

    Wouldn't u have to port. Back. Yourself

    When you port your number over to another provider your original account is gone, done and dusted, you can't port back.

    You would have to go back to the original provider and get a new sim/account & only then can you port your number from GoMo.

    No, they bill on the 1st of the month and pull from your card 7 days after that.

    So the number initially programed to the sim stays with the sim memory regardless?

    Do you keep all apps and contact numbers etc when changing over?

    Yes, unless you save contacts on your SIM card, which isn't really done that often anymore. The beauty of Google is that it centralises all of your data in the cloud so it's not device dependant

    Set up 3 accounts today , all billing details etc acknowledged. I got emails to 2 of the accounts confirming but the 3rd one no email, tried to register the email address used to set up the account no email with a link used the forgot email option to send a text verification no code received.

    The first 2 all is ok.!!! Any ideas

    I must've misunderstood, then.

    You can have two SIM cards on each account... Each account needs an individual card associated with a separate email address...

    How do you apply for a second sim/account?

    Do you just signup again using your original details or is there somewhere within your on-line account to do it?

    Is the Max contact capacity for modern day sims still 250 or have things improved on that front?

    Hi, has anyone been able to resolve the issue with not getting any emails from Gomo because of the Microsoft account (Hotmail, outlook, etc.) they used to register?
    Since ordering SIM I have not received any email and it does not send the verification link when I try to register for an online account.....

    Was a simple matter years ago to block international and premium calls and texts outside of a plan

    Don't see why it would be anymore complicated now

    Maybe another poster has a different view

    People still store contacts on Sims?!

    I dumped all mine onto the sim I had before moving to GoMo so I could throw it in a drawer for backup without having to rely on the cloud. Treated the old sim as storage if you will, like a little pen drive.

    You could also keep the old sim in your wallet or purse, in the event you lost your phone or some other disaster befell you, you could stick it in any other phone to get numbers you might need to contact (assuming you couldn't remember them).
