    So I am with Google unfortunately. No I never wanted to be but that's complicated. I was perfectly happy with my Vodafone number and sim. Anyone when I started using the Google sim at first over a year ago it was OK but now I am restricted on numbers I can call. Why is this? I get the "Not Registered on Network" bullshit like wtf does that even mean?

    It is really annoying. Sometimes I can ring a number and other times I will not be able to ring that number.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Hi


    Anyone know what the roaming I'd like in Germany on this network.


    Was recently in Gran Canaria and it was very poor.


    Thanks

    Worked 100% for me in germany anyway before covid, Worked grand a month or 2 ago in Lanzarote also.

    Did you have bad coverage or what was your issue?

    Very bad data coverage while over there. The son uses them and he was moaning a lot about it any time we left a WiFi zone. I am on three and it was fine.

    Thankfully it is working now on my iPhone 13 Pro Max with GoMo! 🎉🎉🎉



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,409 ✭✭✭madmoe


    Oh how I would love to see that on my iPhone! I saw it many times when I was using a Galaxy S21 Ultra! Never saw it with the Pixel 6 Pro. Which iPhone are you using thanks? I am OG €9.99 GoMo as well with a 13 Pro Max!

    I still can't get OTP from KBC, and possibly other places too. I gave up trying to get it fixed (or moved to revolut) but I think I will have to try in vain to get it fixed again. GoMo throw their hands up and says it not them, senders of OTP say it's the network.


    Has anyone gotten this fixed by the way?

    This is not much help to you but I'm with Gomo & KBC too. The one time notifications from KBC arrive on my phone. Looking back over my history the only time I get them really is when I do a large top up on Revolut. Last transfer I did was on 1st April.

    I was over in Spain last week and I couldn't get the data to work, the calls were working.

    I set the APN to hicard as per Go Mo instructions but it still didn't work

    what have been people's experiences of roaming with Go Mo in general?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,912 ✭✭✭Bummer1234


    What phone you using? I was in spain a few weeks ago with an iphone and worked 100%



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 49 seekenee




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 891 ✭✭✭Cork981


    The APN should be the same when roaming (data.myeirmobile.ie). Hicard is an APN for a completely different network in Singapore called GoMo. It’s the first hit on Google so easy mistake.

    In Bosnia and can’t use my phone without wifi.

    Got texts to say I must go to roamingalerts.com to accept data charges.

    When I click on the link, there’s a message from Eir saying to call 01 4307085.

    Is this real? Seems a ridiculous way of having to use a mobile phone in this day and age.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,198 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    I'm guessing as Bosnia is not in EU, there's no roaming agreement in place and in fact I'd be advising extreme caution as you may get hammered, it may be a blessing your not able to use data. Whilst Gomo separate from EIR it is owned by them and that may be the reason for that message.

    Use WiFi only and turn off your data until you confirm what the situation is, I'd also be very careful making calls and sending texts.

    Is maith an scáthán súil charad.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,264 ✭✭✭✭Zebra3


    Thanks for the advice, but my problem is that I can’t access data. There will be times I need it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,198 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    I understand that but I believe because there's no roaming agreement and roaming arrangements don't apply in non EU countries it's not available because it would be prohibitively expensive, GOMO customer care is terrible at the best of times and chat normally not reachable at weekends. Eir won't assist with GoMo customer enquiries.

    Even if GoMo permitted data ,your bills would be horrendous.

    For a month or so since the vo lte1 showed on phone, I had access to mobile data even when on a call . Assumed was because of that. It was very handy. Stopped working last week so now can't use mobile data when on call. The vo lte1 symbol disappears when on the call. Is there some setting I should change. Did security update in Samsung phone, that's the only change I can think of

    I received my Gomo sim today, should it come provisioned to connect to the network? I am awaiting the port over in a few days but often networks allow access on the donor number until port has completed. Currently the sim is picking up no network on a search.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,879 ✭✭✭Gooser14


    Is it possible that your phone is locked to a different service provider such as Three, Vodafone, Tesco Mobile etc. If it is then you need to request the unlock code, if eligible, from your current service provider.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,248 ✭✭✭GIMP


    Definitely not its a dual sim unlocked handset, I just have no signal on Gomo sim and just wondering if it should already be picking up the network on the temporary 085 number they supply before the port completes?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,198 ✭✭✭✭Dempo1


    The sim should be activated once you put it into your device. The temp 085 number remains active until port your number over. You mentioned its Duel sim, it's not a 3 network duel sim device by any chance 🤔 or did you purchase the phone Sim Free.

    Can you check the go mo sim in another unlocked/ sim free device 🤔

    Tried the sim in another unlocked phone with same result sim card not provisioned, I have contacted them through the website, so who knows if they will respond or not!

    Does anyone have experience with exceeding the 120GB fair usage limit? Currently using a SIM card in my wifi modem and doing a good bit of streaming so wondering what happens if you do go over



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,879 ✭✭✭Gooser14


    The following is from their T&Cs:

    6.4   The fair usage threshold in relation to data usage for the SIM Only Service is 120GB. Should your data usage exceed 120GB in a billing cycle and we consider that other users are likely to be adversely affected, we reserve the right reduce your speeds . We continuously monitor network performance to ensure that the SIM Only Service received by you is not impacted through a minority of users placing high demand on network resources (e.g. large bandwidths over long periods).

    Does GoMo offer 5G at present?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,646 ✭✭✭Micky 32


    I’m thinking of changing to Eir. So what is the current consensus with Eir vs Gomo? Apart from the no 5G or little of it how do both services compare? Are Eir giving priority to bandwidth over Gomo? Are download speeds on 4G the same? Is roaming the same? ( I’m in the USA a lot). I need to decide Eir or Gomo.

    No. But I'd like to know if they plan to. Eir does offer 5G.
