I'm watching this with interest as the offer seems too good to be true.

I'm on RTG at €20 a month and I'm reluctant to sign up to this offer, I can't incurr extra charges or avail of extra services outside my package, and I'm happy with that, my phone will only ever cost €20 a month.

The Gomo T&C's on the other hand have a few pages worth of extra charges that will arise when you avail of a service outside your plan, you dont seem to be prevented from doing so, as I am on RTG.

I'd be intersted in feedback in the future from anyone who has signed up and has had a few months worth of bills, to see if it's possible to avail of the service for €9.99 a month.

Everyone who signed up will receive their first bill (after the initial signup activation charge) tomorrow.

You would want to be pretty reckless to allow yourself to be caught with those out of bundle charges once you are aware of how they are incurred.

Of course it's possible to avail of the service for a €10 a month. It's like any bill pay plan, just don't use it outside of your allowance and you won't get charged any extra.

Agreed, and even if you were caught out during a drunken bank holiday long weekend & threw all caution to the wind? GoMo restrict any over spend to a Max of €30 so I doubt you would need to enlist the services of MABS

Yerra it took seconds to answer. The 'polite thing' might actually be not to pick a fight.

GoMo state that if you want to use Data outside the EU, you can purchase a 1GB Data add on.

If you did actually want that? Where do you buy it & how much does it cost?

The link they provide for further details doesn't seem to have any option regarding it.

If nobody is polite enough, unwilling or unable to answer your question? There is an option at the top of each page called "Search this Thread" (see Pic)

Hope this helps.

I think I saw something about crazy roaming charges regarding data , stateside . Signed up anyway .

Szero · 31-10-2019 05:34PM

My wife and myself have now ported over, no issues at all, huge saving over Vodafone.

I now want to port over the kids, who are aged 14 and 16. I see you have to be 18 to register so how have people registered their kids? Do I need to do it in my name? I would prefer if it was in their name.

Ten Pin · 31-10-2019 05:42PM

Max bill is €30

AIUI the max out of plan charge is 30 so the max bill is potentially 39.99

https://gomo.ie/billing-usage-and-payment/

Why can’t I make a chargeable call?

We have an out of bundle cap of €30. This means you can spend up to €30 on charges that are not included in your bundle. This includes Premium Rate Services such as 1890/1850 numbers, any non-standard text messages, roaming over the EU cap, roaming outside the EU and international calls and texts. We have this limit to protect our customers. If you cannot make a chargeable call you may have reached this limit. You will not be able to incur any more out of bundle charges until after your next billing date.

For starters you are only allowed 2 sims per account under this offer so you will need to use another name and payment method to sort the kids.

Anyone any ideas I set my number to port on Monday which being a bank hol seems to have caused issues. I used their contact form yesterday morning but no email or call back. Tried to cancel my port and it shows schedule now afterwards but if I try it tells me a port is in progress and if I go back to the page to cancel and hit it and refresh it just keeps telling me it is in progress

Roaming charges outside ones bundle are ridiculous regardless of which provider you are with.

When I'm away I normally buy a throw away sim for the country I'm in.

You can't stop it once it's in progress. Maybe try a DM to GoMo on twitter explaining you situation. It has happened to others here too.

There is a built-in search function which should help to prevent this petty squabbling.

Better value buying a local RTG sim in whatever country you visit outside of the EU.

Vodafone vs gomo.

Half the price and better coverage happy out!

Thank you

O/H switched over on Tuesday, ported successfully but couldnt make calls or send texts, took 24 hrs and multiple reboots of her phone to get sorted
Fast forward to tonight and once again unable to make calls/texts

This is getting ridiculous

I'm aware of that thanks & that's what I do.

I'm just curious as to this add on GoMo refer to because I can't see it anywhere on the site.

My dad has been in the same boat, number started to port on Tuesday 8am, I've spent the past two days talking to customer support, they just keep telling me they will send an email regarding the issue, still waiting for said email. Pretty ridiculous.

eoinf · 31-10-2019 07:17PM

anyone know where to check your usage?

walaw · 31-10-2019 07:43PM

Was scheduled to port at 17:00 but do far nothing, still have coverage on my current SIM. Got the text yesterday to say it would be happening today. From your experience any chance port could still happen or do I need to contact them?

If you log in does it say port in progress?

Ah, that sucks. Maybe give it a while more, but most people I know including myself who successfully ported a number, it only took 15-30 minutes. If it's not done by tomorrow morning get in to support I guess, but they won't be much help unfortunately

Mine was scheduled to port yesterday but it didn't happen until today. Eventually your current (old) sim will stop working, at which point you'll know that the port has worked.

Have you received any email correspondence from Gomo? Any email with no readable content?
