GoMo FAQs

Have to agree, my data speeds not great at home (quite rural), but have seperate home WiFi, speeds on gomo in town, more built up areas excellent and call signal despite my rural location, perfectly fine, at €9.99 pm, a steal.

Just a question if I may, you mentioned roaming calls? I thought my package which seems to be the same as yours is unlimited call, texts in Ireland and 80gb data, wasn't aware there was roaming calls?

Would you consider getting a second GoMo SIM and put it in a wireless router!? That is what I have. Instead of your separate home WIFI, how much are you paying for that?

In terms of calls when abroad, considered roaming I guess calls back to Ireland we can make as many as we want, am I right in assuming that? It's the data we are limited to, 10GB I think!?

Ah, I see re roaming, re second sim in router, we're I live there's noway the data speeds would be good enough for my needs. Whilst I've seen spoeds up around 60mb in my nearest town, we're I live, average 5 to 7mb. Current provider 30 to 40mb consistently, I live in slieve bloom mountains, even the crows flying over bring a packed lunch

My 3 wifi only €24 pm for unlimited (750gb), I've a discount

It also includes EEA roaming calls so roaming calls made from within EEA to anywhere else in EEA are included.

Three sounds like the best way to go then for the home WiFi.

Very much depends on location, I've noticed since the summer months a dramatic improvement in speeds, less conjestion. They are offering 5g but again, restricted to availability, honestly, good 4g is more than fine for most users. Don't go by cover maps, absolute nonsense, 3 do a 14 day return offering, testing really the only way to be sure and deal with a shop, online a nightmare if a return within the 14 day's is required, shops won't deal with online purchases.

Last month I made 300 minutes of roaming calls for €9.99 - on my other network PAYG network (3) the charge would have been €150 at 50 cent per minute..

I should have said roaming in the EEA - while roaming in the EEA, calls and texts to other EEA contries including Ireland are included in the GoMo monthly package. The data allowance while roaming in the EEA is 10GB per month. The allowance in Ireland is now 120GB.

A word of caution about roaming outside the EEA. GoMo does not have roaming agreements with operators in all countries e.g. no agreement with Cuba and roaming charges are sometimes higher than charges from other operators. Advice is to check before travelling and decide if another Irish SIM prepay package or a local SIM would be bettter during the trip.

I never knew GO MO increased their ROI data allowance to 120GB. I dont recall receiving a message from them advising this.

Perhaps this is in response to 48.ie?

I'm very happy with go mo and wont be switching to 48.ie to save €2 a month.

Having said that I could not make calls roaming in London and Belfast. I could only receive DATA ( intermittent coverage) and receive calls. GO MO said they changed THEIR settings so this wont happen again but in dubious. Tesco Mobile better for roaming in uk as it's on the better O2 UK network. GO MO / EIR use cheaper EE UK network. I know as I'm a frequent traveller to London

Is anyone else having an issue with Call catcher and voicemail notifications? I'm not getting the text messages anymore - they were working fine up until 10 days ago or so. I didn't change any settings and Call Catcher is still switched on.

I have contacted GoMo with the issue, but haven't heard back from them yet.

Just noticed this as well. It started last week.

My download speed is never even in double digits. I think 6 ish is what i've got. I also dint think theyve increased the data allowance on the old 9.99 a month deal. i logged into the router sim last week and even for november i have texts from them stating what % of the 80GB allowance was used.
my 48 sim arrived yesterday so i might fire that up to compare....

This is why I left GoMo. Cheap is grand but it frustrated me more than it didn't. WHen I was eir prepay, I always got decent speeds, coverage etc. After a few months on GoMo (and same with a family member eir prepay who didn't want a billpay), speeds went very poor, coverage went poor. It wasn't worth it for the sake of a few quid more for reliable decent service.
I know others have no issues but I'm delighted I moved.

Just did this test now.

Might be handy if people gave their approx locations. In Swords (North Dublin) at the moment I'm getting
245Mbps down and 20 Mbps.

I've been using them for about a year I think. Never really noticed a problem.

You could identify the mast with the Cellmapper app.

That would nail it down to one mast.

Unfortunately, even then, it does predict what someone else in the area will get.

Speed is influenced by a large number of factors including location, relationship to mast, obstructions between receiver and mast, load on the mast.

The T & Cs say 120GB and don't distinguish between the two rates so I can't see how they could limit it to the more expensive plan but I will run it up over 80GB in December and see what the story is.

48 was crap me and GoMo is anywhere up to 150G so totally dependent on where you are and the load on the mast.

I'm still on the 9.99 and I went over 100GB last month without as much as the 80% of allowance warning text .

Yes GoMo confirmed.

Thank you for getting in touch!!!

Yes both plans, both 9.99 and 12.99 will now avail of the 120 GB

I hope this helps
