hey guys if u miss out by a day after the month ie 24 hours , will u loose the offer

No see from 48 help page.....

What if I don’t buy membership every month will I lose the 7.99 offer?

No we don’t roll like that, if you fancy a break from buying membership then you're free to take one. However if you don’t add membership for 6 months consecutively then you are at risk of your account going into suspension and after a further 6 months of inactivity the account will be deactivated due to non-use.

Tested the speeds now in multiple places side by side with a three.ie sim card, and the 48 speeds are noticably slower.

My 1st month membership has now expired and im debating throwing the sim in the bin and going with Three.

gussieg · 17-10-2020 02:43PM

ive found that too, seems to be under 10mbps like vodafone x. three was faster, but then its 20 a month. will see is it worth continuing. signal gets better out and about.

speed test aside do you find much difference in performace?

low speeds here but constant and does what I want,
eir/gomo would have higher speeds but bigger black spots with poor or no coverage

VF was better but now seems on par 48

DopeTech · 17-10-2020 03:14PM

I've done multiple tests with my 48 sim and a sim from 3 in the same phone and always got virtually the same speeds. they can vary widely but always the same. If one is good then both are, if one has slow speeds then the other will be the same. My house is in an unfortunate spot so only 3g indoors on either network but out and about I usually speeds between 20-40mb.

gussieg · 17-10-2020 03:35PM

well, my 48 simsignal has now turned itself off altogether , which i hadnt yet experienced with either 3 or vf.

Have u correct apn, must be 48months.liffeytelecom.com. not the tesco.liffeytelecom.com that is default one on sim !!

gussieg · 17-10-2020 03:45PM

This happens from time to time, signal lost and returns after a while (up to 5 minutes). This is reminiscent of the "good" ole days of 3 except that required toggle of airplane mode or occasionally a restart.....you wouldn't want to be depending on it for business use.

It's 3gb per membership so 3gb per month. Not worth the hassle if you ask me. I do donate 5GB to food cloud each month though. Every little helps.

faolteam · 17-10-2020 08:56PM

is that all ah feck that

Yes 5gb

bassy · 17-10-2020 09:46PM

great deal,but unfortunately for me the speeds here are woeful about 3 down and not even 1 up at any given time.same here with eir.
but im currently on eir and will change to 48 before 10th november.
i have the eir house fibre here so i dont mind the slow speeds on mobile when im at home.

Avn't xperienced that signal loss but has been down to 2 bars out of 5.Takes up to 90 seconds to register on power up-annoying.

Hi, could anybody give me advice re a samsung phone I bought A70 last Dec. Its overheating at night when not in use. Power save appears to have stopped this. Now phone started switching off several times although no longer overheating and battery not empty.

I have synced and backup contacts and photos to google. I also backed up contacts to samsung.( I have a number of documents on phone but unsure where to store these)Is there anything else I should do before wiping phone for repair. Many thanks.

Can't advise.Did you buy during the Samsung offer last December? Would be interested to hear of solution via Samsung.Plugged into mains at night? Too many apps downloading updates after midnight?

Will the 7.99 option for credit be there for everytime i want to top up or do you have to set up automatic monthly withdrawls from bank ac to get the 7.99 deal-signed up last week

Once you buy it once before November 10th you'll keep it.

Finally got ported over had to give them my account no for my pre pay account.

Eir are not releasing an unlocking code for my dad's basic dumb phone. They say it is unlocked.

It is locked.

They are increasing his call charges

48 would be good for him.
