GoMo Experience Great so far

I've two GoMo SIMs on the go, one in the phone & one in a 4g router which I replaced a VM broadband connection with.

Exact same set up since day one and could not be happier!! ;-)

I've definitely found it better than TM for roaming as you had to change some settings in the SIM toolkit to get it to work & occasionally it would replace the working APN with a non-working Belgacomm one. GoMo just worked as soon as I turned the phone on with no messing around.

Was there a problem with the authentication texts from banks earlier on with GoMo? Reason I mention it is that PTSB is working fine after I moved my number from TM.

I read on a boards thread that some people were having problems with unsolicited text messages after switching to GoMo, sometimes premium texts for which they were billed. I got one strange text early on but no sign of being billed for it. Today I got what was clearly a scam text about my Bank of Ireland card being suspended due to a suspicious transaction. Sender's country code was Costa Rica and there was a link to what was clearly a scam website trying to look like BOI. Two texts in a month is no big deal, but I thought I'd ask around before switching a second phone to GoMo. Do they have a problem keeping phone numbers secure? I've never in my life signed up to any text service, premium or otherwise. Anyone else noticing anything?

Thinking of changing my sim only plan from Three to Gomo,
Does anybody know if calls to Tesco mobiles are included? Three charge me 10c per minute
And can I include my wife’s phone? I.e two sims, two phones, one bill

Thanks

All mobile calls within Ireland are included as are landline and 80gb data, I have two sims under the one account.
I think Northern Ireland calls are outside the free package.

I live in a rural area and my reception is generally poor but my GoMo SIM seems to be worse. It's using Eir's network right?
My wife is on Eir and seems to have better reception. We both have the same phone. Anyone else notice this?

Are you referring to voice call reception or data?

WiFi calling is included in Eir's own-branded service, whereas they don't offer it on their GoMo SIMs. If you are in an area of poor coverage, WiFi calling could be providing good indoor voice coverage on your wife's Eir SIM, whereas you won't have this option.

Sick of eir (I know it is the parent) but the cheapest SIM only plan they have is now €30 a month as I've come off intro offers are rolling thr last few years which you can't do now.

Are there any 'tricks' given I'll need to port my number, do I need to choose a date to port when signing up or can I do that once I get the new SUM card? Heard some people got stuck in limbo when trying to port, that could have been teething problems.

Wish I'd jumped when it was a tenner a month...oh well.

You can port anytime from receipt of sim if you wish through your Gomo account, you can select a port date and time.

Hi there

Is anyone having data issues with Gomo? I haven't had any data for the past 2 days?

I've been with Gomo for the last 6 months and never an issue. Usually use about 10-15GB a month - could I have run out? I thought you could get up ti0 80GB a month?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Where are you located? May be a local issue. You get unlimited data meaning they just slow it down when you hit 80gb a month. Have you double checked all your settings? Restarted the phone? Anyone else you know have gomo in your area?

No issues here in North Kildare

Thank you DopeTech! Embarrassingly a restart is all it has taken to fix it! A classic fix!

Sometimes switching airplane mode on and off fixes problems like that too.

I tried that the other day to now luck. I was losing data all together on and off the other day. Seems ok now though.

taking out the sim card (with the phone powered off) for a couple of minutes helps solve some persistant issues.
