    It is 2 texts from a 57666 number, just checked the date and it was during Cheltenham week(before the lockdown) therefore highly intoxicated which explains why I don't remember :)

    Cheers both.

    One of these might trigger your memory.

    Anybody else find the speed very slow today, I can normally work the laptop and use the phone but the hotspot stopped working the minute I took a call today.

    Yeah that's par for the course.You generally can't make calls and have the hotspot work simultaneously.

    Is there a setting where that can be changed??

    Not as far as I know, used have that problem a few years ago, had to log on to a remote application, I'd be running stuff, Phone would ring.......take call, drop connection. A dual sim phone gets around it I think.

    In theory, calls and data should work simultaneously in 3G mode.

    Check what shows in the signal indicator when you make a call...does it go from 4G to 3G or 4G to 2G.

    Then make a call when phone is in 3G mode (set this in Mobile Network settings) and check if data is still available.

    Is there a way of seeing a detailed bill. I was charged more than 9.99/

    I had interternational and premium calls barred.

    It is good value.


    Speeds and call.quality can vary

    Doubt it's randomly you're bill will tell you what the charge is for

    Thanks a lot for this, nearly positive someone mentioned Laura Lynn and that explains the 2 small donations :)

    Exactly, Is it now beyond people to check their itemised bills?

    2 texts on my wife’s bill for 30 cents from Niger, how do I block scammers like this for her ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,935 ✭✭✭Ten Pin


    2 texts on my wife’s bill for 30 cents from Niger, how do I block scammers like this for her ?

    30c each or for both?

    The international SMS rate is 15c.

    What specific details are on the bill?

    Is there any SMS record on the phone for the texts?

    Scams are usually in the order of 2.50 x 8 for premium SMS, so 30c for texts seem like it might be a billing error unless something was sent accidentally.

    Either way tell gomo to apply a premium SMS bar to the account.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 828 ✭✭✭BarryM


    I wondered why mine was higher than the usual €9.99, forgot, I sent SMSs to RTE and Newstalk.... complete waste. ;)

    Can you use GoMo sim as a WiFi hotspot in an iPhone?

    My last two bills have extra charges in the amount of €7.50 for three SMS messages to austria. This if I uderstand it relates to scam calls I am getting. An app I am using blockes the call next I get a text message which I only replied one time saying stop. GOMO are telling me that a) when I signed up I used a premium service number when the number I am using is the number that was on the sim card. Now their telling me I opted into premium number options. I do not recall opting for anything other that the basic €9.99 per month. Is this a scam or something. Lets wait a few months then we will start hitting them with charges. I am about tired of this and fully intend to pursue it through COMREG and the comsumer agencies.

    You'll need a complaint reference number for Comreg.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,145 ✭✭✭paddy19


    GoMO have an opt out of premium services in Accounts Details, bar mobile services.

    I can't remember if it was default opt in or opt out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,935 ✭✭✭Ten Pin


    It's opted in by default so you need to request opt out, which is a flaw, Comreg should stipulate that it's disabled by default but then no one would opt in and Comreg wouldn't get any licence fee revenue.

    At the very least they should ban reverse charge SMS so that if a user wanted to enter a competition, they could do so without being blindsided by a scam by unscrupulous companies.

    It's bizarre that Comreg just allow this to continue and it's equally bizarre that there is little to no coverage by consumer journalists of what seems to be a widespread problem.

    Guys, can somebody help me with getting Call Catcher to work ? I had it working last October but I must have changed something in my voicemail settings since then.
    I don't want any voicemail, just a message telling a caller (while my phone is off) that 'Meteor' (I know) call catcher will send a text, etc....
    If I go into my voicemail and press 4 to turn it on I still go straight to voicemail (from another phone, with mine off). If I turn off all diverts the caller just gets the "person you are calling cannot be reached" message, but no mention of call catcher and I don't get a text when I power on again.
    I had this same problem with Meteor a few years ago, but afaik I contacted Customer Care and they reset my voicemail to get it working again.
    I have contacted GoMo's Care Team and all I'm getting is 'press 4 to turn on call catcher'......
