48.ie - Was 7.99/month - 100 GB, all calls, all texts, 10 GB EU data - [Now 10.99]

The esim is built into the phone itself, Redmi 5 doesn't have one.

Anyone left 48 to An Post Mobile, and noticed an improvement in data?

before I switched to 48 I tried a few sims, and there wasn't much of a difference in speed and coverage. But now I'm on 48, the data seems slow and unreliable. I couldn't use it as temporary hotspot to get my work emails. Its just too slow.

3 own the 48 network.3 is the 2nd largest operator in the Republic-high profile enough.But would Comreg hide behind the legal seperation of 3 and 48?

Thanks for the info. I’ve been with most of the networks over the years and have never had a problem with roaming. Always just connects to a local network.

I’m glad I saw this thread though and I’ve got a Vodafone eSIM set up on my phone for if 48 (likely) doesn’t work.

I noticed the 48 SIM is showing as Proximus (which seems to be a Belgian network) in the SIM settings. Whereas Vodafone shows it’s a Vodafone SIM.

You will get 4G when they feel like providing it.

Does anyone know if there is a way to add roaming data? I’ve used my 10Gb and have tried the spot me and swop options but it doesn’t seem to work.

Thanks. That will be for roaming will it? I do have 85Gb left for the month but have used my 10GB. I swooped some minutes for 3 GB but I don’t think you can use any of that for roaming.

I've not used it myself. I asked previously on Live Chat before I went away and was assured it would work if I ran out of my other roaming bundle. I'm sorry I can't be more help here.

In Luxembourg and roaming is working fine. When I turned on the phone I got a refreshing sim message and a message to reboot phone, data working OK no settings to change, slow about 5 meg but ok.

Phone is a Samsung s20 plus

Setting attached.

How long can you be without a membership before you're cut off?

After midnight or possibly after 11.00pm is ALWAYS a problem

Going into the 7th month no incoming or outgoing service but your account still operates to allow a topup.Not sure when/if account is closed

WIFI is needed to login if membership expires so probably same when data runs out within membership.

Advance purchased membership won't start until current one ends, regardless of data usage reaching limit.

Data in safe can be used within membership timeframe.

There is also 3GB available by swapping 300 minutes for 3 x 1GB, minutes allowance will reduce by 300 minutes but with 10,000 minutes available, it won't make any difference unless you need over 9700 minutes per month.

Just back from a week in Germany, 2 of us on this crock of shite of a network. Fair it's only €8 pm but they do have a legal obligation to provide roam like home. They only now have 2g/edge in Germany and from a lot of research I can see all their German roaming partners have shutdown their 3g networks in the last 6 months and this shower of c***s haven't even put a 4g roaming agreement in place. Gonna switch tomorrow as it was a massive inconvenience not having data, couldn't hire rideshare, scooters etc. Anyone planning to roam with this crowd I'd advise switch or have a backup sim. There is plans all over Europe to shutdown 3g networks all over Europe in the next 12 months, Norway being the next country next month. Can't believe that they're allowed get away with this
