    Anyone can have a different view... It's not common practice to only accept some parts of a contract and ask the provider to exclude certain other parts.

    I'm not aware of any network where this has been common practice.

    Are you familiar at all with getting services excluded or what at you basing your reply on

    It seems like your just expressing an opinion as fact

    Like I said , it always been a simple phone call to have premium and international stuff excluded, I've literally done it loads of times,just asking specifically in relation to GoMo

    People still store contacts on Sims?!

    The latest smart phones still offer the option to show contacts stored on phone, Sim or both. As the sim is a storage device I see no problem with keeping contacts on it.

    Guys, this thread is massive already without discussion of contacts storage, the mobile forum is there for a detailed discussion on that.


    Mobile mod hat on - its best not to use the sim, because it has limits on the amount on contacts, wont hold other details like address, or email etc. Phone/cloud storage avoids this risk, while can be backed up and stored easily if the phone is lost/damaged etc.

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

    Is the original 085 GoMo number still showing in your on-line account or has it changed to the number you ported?

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

    That's what's on my phone anyway. Doesn't make any practical difference so not bothered about it. :)

    When you port your number actually doesn't change. They just map your "ported" number to the SIMs original number.

    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.....

    Exactly this happened to my order 2 weeks ago. I created an account with a gmail email. I ordered 1 sim. The order seemed to go through successfully. 9.99 came off my visa. But... I received no confirmation email from gomo and could not register on the website. I contacted gomo via the web chat option and they said they had no order for my details. They said 9.99 taken from my visa would be reversed once their system realised there was a payment but no valid order. This hasn't happened yet. I will presumably shortly have to start a dispute with visa to get the 9.99 returned. I recommend you contact gomo, see what they say to you.

    This is something that should be in FAQ thread.

    On my phone it shows as 085 number and if I restart my phone it still ask for my sim pin number for the 085 number.

    I just copy it.

    You can change the sim pin back to what it was in the security settings of your phone.

    I'm not sure what issue you mean?

    On android devices, you cant get the sim number but that is nothing to do with the sim pin. You can change the sim pin or disable it via the security settings.

    On iPhone, you can change the number.

    So is it like a re-direct or call forwarding process?

    So theoretically every user ever who ported a number actually has two numbers assigned to their account? Neither of which can be recycled (as they do state side) for the working life of those numbers.

    My first order seemed to crash at payment stage , i got no text or email confirmation, but 9.99 was taken from account, I contacted them and they said order hadnt processed and payment would reverse, which it did in about 4 days

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

    Correct so I ordered 5 SIM cards but no confirmation etc for 2 of them

    Curious as to the source of the APN posted in the FAQS on page 1

    It states - data.mymeteor.ie

    I asked the question through GoMo chat yesterday and they said the APN was data.myeirmobile.ie

    Strange they would use a Meteor APN considering it's long since dead.

    Doesn't seem to matter which is used going by some posts here.

    gomo.ie/contact/

    There's also a facebook page but I haven't looked at it.
    Also @gomoirelandcare on Twitter which seems to give a reasonable response time.

    Maybe it's because of the late hour, but I don't get what you are trying to say here. Why order a second sim & then don't want to pay for it?

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

    I do and GoMo sim was working perfectly with the temporary number as soon as my number ported all data lost

    No response so far, might have to complain to comreg

    My iPhone was the same ported perfectly except the data - went onto boards typed in APN GoMo found the link for settings took about 10 seconds and working perfect. For €9.99 I’m still in shock that I can call who ever I want - surf and not have to worry about anything it’s seriously amazing! I had tested the sim for 5 days previous to porting my own number.

    Shure I did that first but still no joy

    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?

    Any more info on this? I don't understand why this would need to happen
