    GoMo advertises the 12.99 plan as being that price for life, I can't see any similar condition on the 48 site or am I just missing it? No point switching if it's going to end up more expensive.

    Taken directly from their T&C's

    Hey folks, for the €7.99 deal, is it possible to sign up with direct debit or have the funds taken automatically, or do you have to set a reminder or top up in some way, thus requiring extra work each month than say Gomo where you just get a bill each month and the amount taken from your bank a few days later? Possible to set up a card to auto renew

    Also, are bills provided? Is the VAT displayed on the bills?doubt it, as it's not bill pay

    Given that it's a subsidiary of 3, is it possible to go into a 3 store to resolive any issues, or would that just be for service direct with 3?No, a three shop will do nothing for you.

    So €7.99 for life sounds good and even better if any of the above are the case.

    You'll need to use a different login or else ask 48 to delete your old account.
    I just signed into my old 48 account and changed the email there to another one. Then I was able to create a new 48 account using the email I had previously used on my old account.

    Could I use one of those sims to port back over to get this deal when my monthly top up runs out next week? Or are there restrictions with previous customers
    This will work fine. The only issue is you'll loose out on the free month you'd get if you order a new SIM using somebody else's referral code.

    Also still waiting after 7 days and had to get a customer care agent to order for me. The website kept giving me errors when I tried to order.

    Once the order is placed, an email confirming the order is sent. Once the order is dispatched, the dispatch notice is sent by email. Sim arrived about 2 days after the dispatch notice. For my both sims, the events occurred as above.

    If you have any issues, better you contact customer care. They might help you.:)

    Hey, so I've signed upto this new 48 offer for €7.99 month I like the idea that you can donate some of your data to foodcloud, save it or swap it. Im with gomo to but I've noticed there coverage is gone very bad in some areas where it use be good. Maybe to many people using the mast. Anyway I'm getting much faster speeds with 48 than I am with Gomo.

    Is it good sticking with 48 or do they go sh$t after awhile.

    sim arrived yesterday (got it for my eldest boy , he's 13)
    Speeds are pretty good and plenty of data to keep him going when we are out and about.
    I was with 48 myself years ago and never had an issue.
    Thanks OP.

    Getting another family member to move from Tesco mobile. They have €40 credit, any ideas on how to waste it up? :) I know we have until November but afraid they will pull back from their deal by then!

    Looks like the main downside in moving from GoMo is that you lose the option to make international calls/sms without having to make a further top-up.

    Anyone know if the further top-up expires? I'd make about 4 international calls a year and would like to just make one top-up and leave it in the account.

    What about the price difference though? Is the 7.99 price with 48 fixed for life? Gomos original 9.99 per month is.

    For existing 48 customers who want to avail of this offer what's the easiest network to move to so they can then move back to 48 to get on the 7.99 deal?

    If you scan back through a few pages you'll find a post that suggests the 48months deal is for life as well

    Tesco credit can only be used for add ons and/or out-of-plan services.

    For existing 48 customers who want to avail of this offer what's the easiest network to move to so they can then move back to 48 to get on the 7.99 deal?

    In theory, Lyca, as their SIMs are widely available. Not sure if there's any top up needed on a Lyca SIM to port in / out.

    Eir send out SIMs for free but might also require a top up to port in / out.

    Or else just use the new 48 number and wait until November and see if they extend the 7.99 plan to everyone...if they don't then port away and back to the new SIM.

    If you add money to your account, that does not expire, if you buy an add-on, i.e. extra data, land line minutes etc., that expires the following month I think.

    Great thanks. Looks like the main difference would be an extra 2 euro a month in my pocket then

    An post are delivering them.

    Don't see how it could be linked to a parcel motel account as 48 wouldn't know if the recipient had an account with PM.

    Can anyone comment on the 48.ie speeds around Dublin 5, 13, 17 area?

    I'm currently with GoMo and getting speeds varying from 0.91 to 6-8mbps max which seems pretty poor.

    Anyone having issues getting verification code texts from your bank or Revolut on 48? PTSB won't work for me due to SIM card being changed (number ported) but apparently it will clear after 24 hours.
