Last Chance to get 48.ie 10.99 euro offer - Ends 4 April - 100 GB + All Calls & Texts

I was in Belfast the weekend and roaming would not work at all. Was there in November and no issues so strange. Nothing had changed in between.

Wouldn't trust it for roaming going forward but fine for when in 26.

It seems to be pot luck. Like I think it does work for the majority of customers but there is also an amount like myself who it didnt work for as the problem comes up time and again on 48 threads. I remember at the time when I got home I went looking for answers and there was a thread on the 48 Community forum from just an ordinary customer which had APN settings, iirc these were different from what the default was set to and others said they worked.

I was in Newry today with my other half, neither of us could connect to a roaming network with our 48 Sims. I'm sure it worked for me before. I tried to select a network while there, and all the networks (O2, Vodafone, EE, etc) were all listed as forbidden.

Does anyone know if you have to have received the SIM and activated it by 4th April to avail of this offer, or can you activate it later as long as you have your order in before 4th April?

I’d prefer 20gb and decent roaming. I watched a live football match on sky go earlier this month and it worked at Gatwick. Hoping it works at the end of next month too

Just got an email from 48 saying they are aware of the roaming issue and have troubleshooting steps to follow but are working to resolve the issue.

I tried 48 and gomo, both worked ok but I found reception in countryside poor plus roaming was iffy. Switched to postmobile a year ago and never looked back. Yes it's 15 a month but no roaming issues, great reception and reliable data speeds.

An extra GB on the roaming allowance for anyone on the 12.99 package. Looks like that's it.

200GB for 12.99 is interesting as I went over my 100GB allowance for the first time this month, sim is in a mobile broadband router and I was watching a lot of Netflix and streaming football. It allows you to 'spot' 1GB from next months allowance and have a friend donate you 3GB, I did both of those but the extra 4GB wont be long in going and still have 10 days before it renews back to 100GB. The only option right now is to buy 1GB at 3 euro at a time, I might be wrong but I thought they had a better data add on than that before, something like 10GB for 5 euro?

I also got the same email about their data roaming problem. Good to see they are addressing it as a known problem now. Would be good if others could report back if their fix on the community forums actually works to get roaming set up when abroad.

You can also swap 300 minutes for 3gb data.

Were you able to buy the €7.99 membership?

Thanks. Why pay €20 when you could pay €7.99? I presume you know 48 use the Three masts.

looking at this deal for a 4G LTE router,whats the penalty for going above the 100GB(unlimited data me hoop)!

thanks

I also have it since the 7.99E deal

• 4g speeds are absolutely fine. Should be exactly the same as three as they are using the same network so check out three coverage map if you are concerned. There are some spots in Galway where I get 250Mbit down / 50Mbit up now. I am guessing that's because three is increasing capacity for 5G so it also helps 4G
• Roaming is an absolute disaster. Go to the 48month forum to see how many people have major issues. You often need to change APN settings to get any broadband at all (calls + texts work outright). For roaming they also only give you 3G even if the EU country you are in has 4G which pretty much all do. Even worse in countries where 3G was discontinued to free up capacity for 5G you get only 2G speeds so about 10 Kbit/s. That is the case in Germany already and many EU countries are to follow. That's an absolute nightmare.

So if you don't need your phone in other EU countries 48month is perfectly fine. If you travel often within the EU please consider getting a SIM card for the trip from another provider.

There might be a bright spot however for the roaming part. EU has agreed to extend the 'roam like it's home' for another 10 years and this time they won't allow that you offer less speed in other EU countries compared to your own country. That means if you offer 4G here you MUST also offer 4G in the other EU countries unless it is not available there. That law should take effect middle of this year but if 48month will follow the new regulation or not who knows.

P.S. Just adding 48month forum link with all the roaming issues (sorted from newest) https://community.48.ie/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?q=roaming&sort_by=-topicPostDate&collapse_discussion=true

If you think about signing up now for 12.99 and you travel in the EU I think the GoMo 14.99 deal is much better. Never had any roaming issues (except 48month) and I used about 4-5 providers last few years.
