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

Anyone else having problems with this when Roaming in the UK? I'm in NI and all connectivity seems to have been shut down about a week ago.

48 is a nightmare aboard and doesn't work 99% of the time regardless where you are in Europe unless you manually configure the apn settings

Comreg are toothless in general.They can issue small fines(relative to the worth of networks)or shame them into acting,haha

No issue here but that's 7 hours ago.Call divert turned on?

Heading to Madrid at the weekend, what would be the cheapest sim with data to get? Don't wanna risk having no coverage or data with 48

Yeah Vodafone SIM is the best option, even better if you have a phone with an eSIM as you can get it up and running straight away and keep your current SIM active.

I’m keeping a Vodafone eSIM running for travel at the moment. Will decide when things get fully back to normal whether it’s worth changing from 48 or not.

Signup for any plan but topup less than the plan requirement. So signup for €20 plan and topup €10.

Then just buy addon using your €10 credit. Any other usage (calls / sms) will come out of your remaining credit then.

I topup using

apologies if this is in the wrong section but is anyone else having issues with sending/receiving texts with 48 at the moment?

haven't been able to send/receive texts to a work colleague (vodafone) for the last few days, it says the texts are sent but he's not getting them and vice versa. texts to other networks seem to be fine, very strange.

The SMS issue is affecting Tesco Mobile as well, who share the same underlying MVNO infrastructure (Liffey Telecom).

It's a shitshow at the minute.

Also, we can't even leave 48 as porting your number requires...yes, a verification text!

Stuck with them while they try to fix this massive issue. Really highlights their awful communication and support.

Hmm. That's good to know - thanks!

Only issue remaining before porting is the fact I've €90+ in credit with 48! My card all of a sudden stopped working for auto renewal (works with everyone else!) so only way to top up was to have a balance of credit.

I'd assume if I leave I won't see that money again 🙄

Yes! Just tried and I got the 2FA text from Microsoft. Finally.

Still, unacceptable support from 48. Near non existent which is disgraceful given the scale of the issue they were subject to.

More than likely I'll still switch to a new provider given this experience.

Is it possible to find the date and time of a voicemail message on 48?

had that with Vodafone on Saturday 12 Feb '22

Never been that lucky.Always 30 days and I get a reminder text.Maybe if you sign up to auto pay you get special treatment.Wouldn't encourage me to let them help themselves to my cash.

Did a double double check on my sub.I was correct first post it's 28 days I get.Some people are privileged.Using your calculation I get 28 days,always have.

This is from the contract emailed by 48 when SIM is ordered:

"Your membership lasts from the date of purchase until midnight at the end of the same date in the next month (the anniversary date)."

48 doesn't work abroad whatsoever, you could be very lucky to get the APN settings etc to work but it'll drop again and again. Its a nightmare of a network abroad. I switched over to eir, no issues whatsoever now. 48 has let me down in 2 big emergency situations with 0 network connectivity. I was glad to switch and am headache free now. Otherwise in Ireland, they are ok but roaming is non existent.
