    How does this work? Say you have a Vodafone number and you order a new GoMo number - at a later date you can port your Vodafone number over to GoMo and this takes over from the GoMo number you had been using? Never knew you could do this.

    Yes, and that's what happens with all ports, whether you do it immediately or at a later time. :)

    Anyone who moved from Eir 30 day contracts to GoMo: were you refunded for the advance period (or part thereof) you didn’t use?

    I got nearly €8 back.

    Regarding customer services I has reason to contact Tesco Mobile a few times over the last few weeks . I found them excellent quick response and helpfull I was using web chat which because of my lack of tying skills was a bit fustrating but that was my fault.

    I detected 5G on my Gomo sim in Tallaght in two different locations today. Data didn't work but I wasn't able to stay in the area for long enough to properly test. Will try tomorrow again.

    Wonder if the APN for 5G is different than 2/3/4G. Eir 5G is only available on bill pay with handset. Would need someone with eir 5G plan to check their settings.

    That's what I was thinking but I haven't been able to find any 5G related Eir APN's yet.

    Interesting thanks for sharing, keep us posted if you can use data. Were you connected to a VPN or something maybe that's why it failed?

    Thanks

    I have still a lot of eir call credit. I think I will order a sim and port later.

    Yes, extra charge for MMS as outside the 9.99 bundle.

    By mms do you mean a text ?. The gomo offer states all calls, text, data, and roaming for 9.99 per month. Am I incorrect here ?

    Texts are SMSs. MMSs are extra, as stated here.

    Correct, except for MMS, they are media messages and are not part of the package.

    Hey, just FYI, I needed to sign off for it when it was delivered today, so I missed it.
    I don't know if any of you had a different experience but if you order it, in my case, you have to be in to sign for the delivery.

    Hi folks - does anyone know of a reliable seller on ebay or elsewhere for an unlock code for an Iphone 5 on vodafone ireland network?
    I have tried searching on ebay but nearly all are for Samsung phones or else are looking for extortionate prices - thanks

    I've been trying to port a Three number from Three to GoMo via the GoMo online form.

    It's 'currently porting' for the last 3 days now. Anyone been stuck like this? Should I cancel the port and try again? Or let it be for a bit longer?

    (I ported a Tesco number and it only took 5 minutes, if even that, so this has me slightly concerned).

    Cheers :)

    There are no unlock codes for iPhone. An unlock signal has to be sent by Apple via iTunes. When I used to unlock phones we had an insider in each of the networks that we would bribe to ask Apple to send the unlock signal, that's how most unofficial iPhone unlocking works.

    So got access to it today. 5G speeds are not super but are consistent. There appears to be two towers in Tallaght. One just outside the village is on but not at full 5G speeds. The one in the village centre appears to not be working on 5G even though my phone detects it.



    The speeds in the 5G screenshots are real 5G because as I passed during a speedtest from 5g to 4g speeds dropped immiadiately. looks like Gomo will for now connect to 5G without special APN's.

    That's great news, all I need now is a 5G phone to go with my 9.99 a month plan.

    I mean that's quite common for pretty much any company that uses live chat, they're likely dealing with multiple people simultaneously at a time. Many Irish companies don't have live chat support and most certainly don't have representatives on Boards so I wouldn't judge Eir too much for no longer having their own forum. I also wouldn't judge someone's character based on your lack of patience due to the mistake you made, I would recommend having a breather and trying their live chat service again tomorrow. :)

    Don't go near their live chat service if you value your sanity.

    Used it many times and never got close to getting issue fixed. You tell them your issue and they go off on a tangent about something completed unrelated to what you said!

    Best bet is to just ring Eir on 1901 and pick option most suited to what you need. Do with your ma beside you as probably won't speak to you as not account holder, have account number to hand when ringing.

    Oh that's good I might be in same boat as you must keep an eye out on future bills. Move not scheduled until next Thursday as just moved.

    https://nac.vodafone.ie is what you need. Should get a response back in 2-3 days and the unlock signal 3-4 days after that, that's been my experience anyway.

    Got my sim today and chose to use my previous number which is PAYG from 3. What are the next steps?

    Edit - I logged into my gomo account and it says your number is due to move on the 20th. Can it be moved quicker?

    Yes!

    I had my originally scheduled for the 17th - My sim arrived yesterday, so I logged into gomo account and moved it forward to 10am this morning. Port was done automatically without any dramas by 11am.

    Ordered last week, arrived Tuesday, couldn't port number till Wednesday, set to port yesterday at 8am, still nothing at 10am today was told by Live Chat that it would take 24 hours (sigh) eventually she admitted that port had been "stalled" so new port set at 10:30 today being told it would take another 24 hours so 10:30 tomorrow morning

    Anybody else with such issues? I know the OH was moved in a matter of minutes and a few others on the thread similarly

    Getting quite annoying now
