    You haven't exausted your allowance, have you? If not, try switching the phone to aeroplane mode and back again. Or click on "forget network" on the computer where the GoMo connection is listed, then get the computer to check for available connections, select GoMo again and re-enter the password your phone gives you for its network onto the prompt on the computer.

    Re tethering problem from A70 smartphone to windows 7 laptop.

    Thanks for the reply. What comes up on my laptop under " open network and sharing centre" is Samsung A70 no internet access directly under heading "Wireless network centre" it states " Samsung A70 - Connected"

    There is a yellow exclamation mark under the icon at the bottom of the screen.

    I went in to " manage wireless networks that use ( wireless network connection) and removed the Samsung A70 then tried to reconnect tethering by typing in the samsung smartphone password on to the laptop but it still will not connect.

    I can not understand why the go mo tethering suddenly stopped after months of working perfectly.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Does USB and / or Bluetooth tethering work?

    Can you tether to any other device?

    Can you edit the APN type to include DUN or dun in the existing entry, prefix it with a comma.

    Does a restart of either phone or laptop make any difference?

    Is there an option on laptop to release / renew network settings for that connection?

    Try changing the network name and password in phone settings.

    Can wifi channels be set on phone and laptop, 2.4 and / or 5GHz

    Have you accidentally switched on the data saver on your phone? That would prevent it from tethering. Also, are you sure you haven't reached your usage limit for the month, or that the phone hasn't a limit set? Can you access the internet from your phone?

    Also, if you right-click on the yellow triangle with the black exclamation mark (or equivalent), you should get an option that reads "troubleshoot problems". Have you tried that to see if it makes a difference?

    If none of these options work, I'd get in touch with GoMo - the fact that you haven't been billed might mean (pure speculation on my part, though!) that your account has been suspended/closed/whathaveyou/or thar there are problems in general.

    Problem tethering from phone to laptop

    Thanks for the help. I just checked and data saver is off. I'm well within my data limit and phone data is working perfectly.

    "Troubleshooting problems" does not resolve the issue.

    My go mo account hasn't been suspended. Many other customers did not receive their January invoice yet according to boards posters.

    Unfortunately the problem is a nuisance as I relied on tethering which worked perfectly up to now.

    Just out of curiosity, are you getting data coverage on the phone itself, probably an obvious question but just wondered if you've tested data without tethering. Separately I also had a similar issue a while back and resolved it by renaming the hotpot, created new password and the connection issue resolved itself (admitidly on a different network at the time)

    This made me go into the portal and check and I don't have a bill either.

    Usually, it's also taken from my card around the 9th, but nothing there either.

    Me too, very very curious this, I've put a query in as I also noticed chat facility not available either. Last bill generated was December, DD today but none nor pending.

    I got a pleasant surprise this morning, I live in the Slieve Bloom mountains, the only network that appears to have masts in the area was 3.indeed out of the 2 locally, one was only upgraded to 4g before Christmas.

    I use 3 WiFi primarily because no other network had anywhere near the speeds albeit even at that 3 has only improved in the past few months. Bizzarely they've quadrupled upload speeds (perhaps to cater for more working at home) download speeds remain around 19 to 30 megs on a good day.

    GOMO was dreadful re data speed , at best 4 Meg download, less than 1 upload. Calls, texts never an issue, so for €9.99 pm, not rocket science.

    This morning to my shock, some unbelievable speeds on gomo data. Attached, screenshot. I can't explain it, I'm not aware EIR/GOMO share masts. Eitherway great news.

    Try ringing your own number but adding a 5 between the code and the number itself, e.g. 085 5 1234567, then press # as soon as the automated response starts. It should bring you to your voicemail/ settings.

    Hi All,

    Is anybody having issues with dropped calls. It is happening all the time and I have swapped phones to no avail. GoMo support asked to switch off 4g which I did but still no joy. Where do I access the webchat as all I can do is fill out the support form each time I wish to communicate with them?

    I am very happy with this GOMO, 86.8 mbps download, 27.5 upload 17ms ping in East Cork.

    Just a question, for my work I need to receive authentication call from US (just for 5 seconds to click key on the keypad) will I need to pay extra for that or is that free? i.e. is receiving call from US free?

    Can I ask if we can receive verification SMS messages from organisations such as banks and utilities to our GoMo number. e.g. AIB, BOI, permanent tsb and Ulster Bank.

    After the GoMo launch customers reported that they could not receive such SMS messages and I need to know if this is resolved becore I switch my number.
