This is one of the best value prepay packages on the market. Eir's GoMo package obviously might be better for those that want bill pay or more data.

Hi just checking if hotspot is working with 48?

Turned it on the phone but I'm getting an X over the WiFi symbol on the android box when I'm connected

Maybe I'm missing something obvious thanks?

I tried to tether mine- wouldnt allow it- would be an issue for me - so wont be switching over just yet...

I thought 3 didn't work in 2g only mode but maybe i'm wrong

Originally this was the case but certainly at least since the O2 takeover, Three SIMs work in most (but not all older) 2G phones. I've a Three SIM in a Nokia 105 which is as basic a 2G phone as you can get. Likewise, my 48 SIM also works in that phone.

Got my trial SIM this morning but could not log into the 48 portal to activate it. Did a password reset several times using simple and complex passwords. Anyone encountered similar?

Got the SIM and tried it for a week in various devices using the free 1 Gb included. Was able to receive texts and phone calls without any problem, but the speedtest results were truly dreadful!

I'm with Tesco Mobile - which uses the Three/O2/48.ie infrastructure - yet when I ran a set of speedtests using the Tesco SIM then switching to the 48 SIM and running the same test from the same location at virtually the same time of day, the 48.ie data speeds were consistently between 50% and 80% slower??

So: same device, same location, same infrastructure, same time of the day but my two different SIMs consistently gave me massively different speedtest results - can anyone suggest an explanation for this anomaly please, because I cannot fathom it?

This means that unfortunately for me 48.ie seems to be a non-runner.

It seems that 48 is provided with limited bandwidth despite being on the Three system. I have seen a lot of posts from people complaining about the speeds.
At the end of the day it is up to everyone to do their own tests and then decide.

Three were 3G only when they started up. At some point they had a 2G roaming agreement with Vodafone but that ended when Three bought O2. O2s network had/has 2G signal which is still available.

Doesn't need to be 4g for calls and text.

Why would the phone need to be 4G capable if only used for calls and texts ?

Why would you not be allowed hotspot off your phone? Is that a thing?

It used to be an issue a few years ago not to allow tethering but isn't really an issue anymore.

Vodafone are the only provider charging for tethering.

All others allow it and it's straightforward on Android.

IPhone is a bit fussy because APN settings are controlled by the network but that's just a matter of adding/editing hotspot settings.

Will a three locked phone work with a 48 sim?!

Yes!
A number of providers banned/ban it and would cut you off if tethering detected. Don't know if it still occurs

48 seem to be pushing the APN from their side so even if you have it set incorrectly, or have nothing set at all, data still works. However, you'll need it set correctly for roaming or your data will not work when abroad.

This wasn’t the case with my wife on her OnePlus 5T, Ihad to set the APN manually to get her data working

All I can think of is you used the same email address that you might have had with Three of air.

I ordered my SIM on Monday night. Just got an email saying it's on its way. So I'll see what it's like.

I have a field under the module data settings called LTE (Oprional). Should this be filled in?
