Eir GoMo - €9.99/month SIM only (unlimited calls, texts and 80GB data, 10Gb EU Roam

I've got two SIMs on my account but in a couple of months I might need to just keep one alive (i.e. only use for recieving calls occasionally) so will only need to pay the €10 for one of the SIMs. Can anybody think of a solution for this unusual situation?

Just request cancellation of the second SIM

Give it to someone in need...

To clarify, if you cancel the second SIM, it'll be disconnected, and you won't be able to use it at all.

If you need a number for occasional calls, just get a PAYG SIM from VF, 3, Tesco etc. Gomo isn't PAYG so to keep a number active requires paying 9.99 every month. If you just give the SIM away, you'll still have to pay every month...unless it's cancelled and then it's of no use to anyone.

Also, if you give away an active SIM, you'll be paying their usage bill for out of plan charges eg premium SMS, international calls etc

Can't. Need to keep the number to recieve occasional work related calls but won't be using it for anything else so no point in paying the tenner a month. From what I can gather, I can cancel the SIM by contacting GoMo but I'd assume that the number will continue and I'll be charged whatever the standard rates are if I wanted to make a call. I'll double check with them when the time comes.

That doesnt seem to make sense. You need the number, but don't want to pay a tenner for it?

To have a number, you must have some sort of network connection... therefore you need to pay someone...

Currently Eir customer . Ordered on the 15th October . Still have not received sim but got a text this morning saying my port will be on 1st November ?

I am in a similar situation, ordered on 16th, no sim yet. Got a txt on 18th saying they are moving my port date to sync with delivery (no indication of what date though.... I had it as 23rd Oct with my initial order). I was on with chat yesterday enquiring about the delay and also confirmed there is no active porting request, to make sure my current service with VM is not suspended. You better clarify your case as you haven't got your SIM yet.

By the way, phoned Eir yesterday for some advice, spoke to two people after holding for ages, was told two different things, both wrong, went into an Eir shop last night and a very knowledgeable woman explained everything.

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

What is your source of this information? There is nothing, that I can see, on the BoI website about the need to re-authorise the ported number. The only reference that I can see is to changing ones number.

Is there an easy way to cancel my contract without having to wait for a response from customer service?

port your number to a different operator

I still have my old number active, was trying out Gomo before porting

then I'd say the only way is contacting gomo directly

Ported this morning. All working grand so far.

Hi guys, I took GoMo and the number will be ported next month, 12.11.19 (i did receive the SIM)
Will I be charged the monthly rate from 12.11 , or straightaway.

straightaway (from the date your gomo service was activated)

Ordered two SIMS for my kids this morning as it'll halve my current spend on their phones while giving them a much larger data allowance (currently on 25gb a month). However as they're pay as you go with Eir at the moment, I don't have an account number which the GoMo website says I need to port their numbers? Anyone ported a pay as you go number to GoMo and what did you need?

thanks
