    I'm just not seeing your point.why you would stick with a more expensive deal because you can buy credit in a store for it. Buying a membership or additional credit on 48 is very straight forward and as you can only use what you have bought you cant get bill shock.

    What is the coverage like with Virgin Media? Currently with Eir and having no issues, only that I'm being charged €30 a month!

    Move to Gomo so, everything the same as you have with Eir for €12.99 p/m

    What's postmobiles performance like? Is it as good as Vodafone?

    Edit: Read the other posts here on a larger screen. Might be worth a punt to jump and try it

    Correct, anyone with a recent report (since they went on 4G) suggests same reception but less data speeds than VF but still more than adaquete. Deal would suit someone where the gomo or 48 deal doesn't suit in terms of service.

    Just received a free sim today. No info with it on how to swap my old number to it. Can't register for the online portal cause they didn't give me the phone number on the new sim. Anyone know how to port?

    From a poster a few pages back, you have to email them and they'll ring you to arrange the port and activate the sim

    I had put my number in too but my old sim still works and it's not swapped over

    EDIT: Ended up calling customer care and they're swapping my number over now. Nonsense that they don't have an online portal to swap numbers like most carriers have

    I put the sim in the phone and called the wife, number came up on her phone. Was able to register then.
    I got an email later in the evening with the phone number and links to top up.

    They're such a small operation that online porting etc isn't worth setting up.

    New number works out of box, the only way to get your old number transferred is to call Post mobile support. I had to wait for nice (no pun intended, switch was made in less than 10 minutes) Indian guy to answer the phone for 40 minutes :-((( With 48 before and now, Post has no advantages to justify 2X price (in my personal experience and opinion).

    I ordered one to swap my number and it came with no info on it. When I put it into my phone, it shows no signal. Called support at around 3pm today and they said they'd swap my old number over but it still hasn't ported yet

    I've spent 10 minutes talking to support guy (all the checks etc.) and after I had wait for ~30 min for actual switch to happen: my old 48 SIM card stopped working and the same moment new Post mobile SIM kicked in (I had to set new APN settings manually to get internet working later). Simple except 40 min waiting for someone real to talk to :-)

    Moral of the story...go to your local post office and sort new sim and port there. A lot quicker

    If you search the Comreg compare site...
    https://www.comreg.ie/compare/#/services

    ....here's the detail for this plan...
    3000 other network texts
    3000 minutes of other-network and landline calls
    300 minutes of same-network calls
    300 same-network texts
    512.0 GB data

    It also mentions FUP of 50GB so 512GB seems to be what they've informed Comreg to be the actual cap to meet the 'unlimited' description or maybe it's a typo?

    This PM plan isn't great for streaming which is probably a good thing the 50Gb is plenty for users who have wifi at home.

    This new offer isn't available to existing PM customers, so that's the reason I need to head back to my old friends in 48, or maybe to GoMo.

    Try 48, you might be tempted to stay with them!

    Yep

    Strange way to do business. Would surely only encourage people to move from them to the more competitively priced 48 or Gomo... Particularly as they have so few customers in the Irish market overall as is.
