48.ie - Was 7.99/month - 100 GB, all calls, all texts, 10 GB EU data - [Now 10.99]

Got one sim for myself that came after a couple of days, tested it out, seemed a bit patchy at the start but as I got out and about the signal was fine.

Like the above ordered 3 sims for family members three weeks ago and nothing, no confirmation mail or anything. Ordered another 3 last week just to be sure and nothing still.

Got onto chat to ask if the sim order went through and they were able to tell me that I ordered 6 sims. 3 on one date and 3 on another.


Maybe they just have a big uptake on the sims and are waiting on stock?? Who knows.


I will say that instead of the recruiter sims I copied the referral link and sent to two family members to sign up that way during the week (Tuesday) and they signed up themselves with their own email and they had their sims yesterday (Friday). Very strange.

Hi folks ,sorry if a stupid question. I just received 3 Sims , what's the best way to proceed . We are all moving our numbers .

Appreciate any help
Thanks

Take one at a time. Yours first, use a referral link to activate your sim. Under settings you can move your number. Then when you have yours set up you can get your own referral link and give it to the other two people to use and activate theirs the same way.

I'm definitely going to try this out - just ordered the sim now so hopefully it arrives.... Thanks OP and everyone else here for drawing my attention to it. I'll be interested to see how good/bad data speeds are - has anyone done a speedtest? They advertise 10MB down which seems similar to what gomo advertise

Plenty of speed tests done throughout the thread. Speeds vary from place to place. Some people are finding in certain places its unusable while others are saying it's far faster than the other networks their are on so it really depends on where you are. When you get the sim you'll get a good idea. If you have been on 3 then expect the same speeds. in some areas speeds definitely go higher than 10MB but more often than not it's probably be lower. It depends what you will be using it for whether it'll suit your needs or not.

48 is using 3's network, so it should be the exact same coverage, speeds ect. I'm not sure what's happening so

Not so I'm afraid, its a virtual network and piggy backs off the 3 network. Basically 3 direct customers get complete priority on speeds, 48 use completely different APN settings. I've warned before, anyone who is on 3 and thinks 48 will work regarding data speeds needs to be very careful. As an example, I currently get up to 40 meg speeds on 3's WiFi network, I also got as much when my phone was with them. Tried a 48 SIM, a few months back, not only were data speeds dreadful, I could not even open up speed testing app, phone calls non existent and texts delayed. 48 is not a network I would recommend if living rural, which I do and very rural at that.

Contract is up with Eir thinking of switching out do people find the porting process?

I found them ok to leave, had a business a/c with them.

I phoned a few times to make sure they were acknowledging that I wasn't breaking contract.

I may have been careful to allow for a month's noticed when choosing the port date (can't remember).

Hi, just signed up and the porting etc has gone well. Trying to buy a membership but the app appears down for me. Is it down for anyone else?

Try buy it via the website. App seems to be a bit hit & miss. Not sure if it's the amount of traffic hitting it or if they are doing maintenance in the background.

Yeah found the app terrible, website is the way to go.

So far on my speed tests I've gotten an average say between 10 - 20, down and around 7 - 12 up on average.

There were times where it was as low as 3 - 6 but rare and times where it went as high as 40 but again rare. 10- 20 down on average which is enough for browsing and streaming a few things without much issue.

GoMo is non existent at my current location basically. For the price, 2 or 3 sims should cover my monthly needs fine until I get broadband in.

Received my sim yesterday. Just evaluating it versus Gomo at the moment before I decide to commit. I've been going about my day doing speed tests in all the places that matter and Gomo has come out on top in all but one instance so far, often being 2-3 times faster.

No deal breaker situations yet. It's just
much more congested than I'd hoped. I really don't want to drop the €9.99 for life offer only to come crawling back out of frustration with Three's network.

Has anyone been roaming with 48 recently? I was on holidays in back in February and Gomo had no signal at all in Russia and barely worked on my stopover in Germany.

Guys having trouble moving from GoMo.in order to port 48 looking for 10 digit billing number and only have 8 digits

Just checked, I have 4 SIMS all have 100Gb 7:99 option

It's so weird I'm using Chrome which avoided any of the site issues too I'll keep trying thanks

Set you membership to Auto Renew and delete your payment card and the renew will take it from the credit on your account. If you had €96 on your account the auto renew will take it every month for a year,

Just hoping I don’t unwittingly use some of the credit with a low call number or dodgy text

Lads...

I've been told because I was with them years ago that I am still considered a existing member so am not entitled to the €8 for new members what the actual fcuk

I left them years ago for 3 and have been with various networks and just ported back

Order another SIM (via someone's referral link if you want). Use a new email address.

Not sure what to do with your number, port that to Lyca temporarily and port back in later...another poster did it that way.

Did you use your previous login or just re use the email on a new account?

I used my old email on new account I think the agent says the system sees the email and considers it an old membership

So I basically I have to go through the whole lot again

Port over to someone else
Order another 48 SIM
Port back again

What a complete and utter disaster

Did you buy a 7.99 membership or were you waiting until after porting?

Was waiting til after porting

I have made a new account with new email and ordered another sim

I have ordered an eir prepay sim

Am I right in thinking when I have both I port to eir sim then port back to the new 48 SIM and account is that ok does everyone think?

- Activate new 48 SIM
- Buy membership
- Port number from existing SIM to Eir (Lyca SIMs are easier to get in Spar, Centra etc). Don't port back to 48 before buying membership, that may have been the problem along with the email address.

Having said that another poster reused an old address but had changed it on the old account before signing up again.

I assume when I port to eir I don't need to buy credit before I port back? Thinking of doing it over a 24 your period
