An Post Mobile

These codes worked for my phone but not on a Chinese phone I also tired it on. I manage to turn off call waiting, and voice mail. I had to get on to support to resolve everything. Which in fairness they were helpful with.

Today I discovered An Post Mobile doesn't allow you send an SMS to a 5-digit number. I was trying to enter a competition on Newstalk Radio and discovered I couldn't send a text to 57599.

I phones An Post Support (which is pretty good by the way) and I was told that Vodafone haven't given them this facility, so far. Just something to be aware of.

Yes, I phoned them yesterday and they told me to do a once off top-up which I did (€10) but I still couldn't text to a 5-digit number.

I phoned support again this morning, and they told me that facility wasn't available, but that it may be in the future.

Not maintaining the phone for a child.... I was trying to enter a competition on Newstalk Radio.

Yes, I might as well put in a fiver and have a month in hand. Pity the person I spoke to on day one, wasn't able to give me more accurate advice re the shortcomings of their offering.

First time abroad since moving to post mobile, I assumed I would need a cash topup to cover calls to local (non Irish) numbers, mobile or landline. Amazingly, not so. I could call hotel, etc, on my Irish credit, though these are international calls when at home requiring top up and per minute charges.. So my credit was good for roaming calls to Ireland, and local calls also. Makes sense really, as I was connected to Vodafone NL.

I didn't even have to choose Vodafone. It worked straight up on landing, and seems to treat you like a local Vodafone customer. I even switched on my VPN to my router back home so I could use RTE player and watch the Ireland Wales match (which was geo blocked) with no issues.

I can anyway.

But I don't use it much like that.

I've only done it on Android.

Ah nice to see it wasn’t just me. My iPhone 12 started rebooting while connected to Bluetooth playing music. Only started happening after changing to Post mobile. Completely reset, restored the phone but it kept happening. Ended up changing back to Eir which resolved the problem.

Actually with iOS 15.4 personal hotspot is working for me once i set the APN to isp.postfone.ie 🎉

If you have the same issue as me and want to report it to Apple you can say it is the same issue as my Apple case number 101653234339 👍

The more people that report it the better chance they will fix it.

What phone? Check your APN settings, make sure you're using the Postmobile one, not Vodafone

Very difficult if you've no call credit to ring/text someone. Suggestions;

1. Drop into the post office with the sim, get them to check the number assigned. Bring id

2. Ring a freephone number, ask the person to tell you the number on their caller id. Try Vodafone one, 1800 805 014

3. Ring 999, and ask the same. You might get grief for this!

While there are USSD codes which return mobile numbers, I can't find one for Postmobile.

Haha, result.

isp.postfone.ie is the URL. Put that in url field and try again. It goes in the field labelled APN. The field Name can just a Postfone or Postmobile.

Delete all ports, proxy, Bearer, IPv6, set APN type to default, less is better. Check network mode, sounds like it's set to 2G

Interesting

First test I got 1.5 Mbps retested got 13.8 Mbps now getting 3 again.

On the other phone on Post Mobile we have got like 3 or 4.

Tested a three phone and got 14Mbps.

I wonder is the network having issues

Retested in the garden. On the redmi I got 6 then 24, 13 now 3 again.

On mine a pixel in the garden i got 3, 6 then 9.

I've no idea why that makes a difference.

Obviously I've a dead spot inside. Maybe move around see if it improves.

Last time I had a problem with divert setting the support were actually decent at sorting it out.

1. In theory no, but in heavy traffic a Vodafone customer with a pricier plan will surely get bandwidth precedence over a €15/month MVNO customer

2. Not that I know of

3. Only had to use it when home broadband failed, it worked fine, though slower.

4. Yes, €15 per month with auto topup, per 28 days with PAYG.

5. Don't think you get 5G for that plan.

6. Get a free sim and try it. First month free if switching.

ive been on Vodafone for years , fancied a switch to a cheaper plan and not getting a new phone decided to get an post sim only since they piggy back the Vodafone network.

piggy back is an apt term, nowhere near the same service as Vodafone, constant waiting for pages to load, and constant buffering with music when on the move.

can’t complain for 15euro but for anybody thinking it will be the same as Vodafone because they are on the same network , well it ain’t.

Dial *43# to activate call waiting.

Dial *#43# to read your current CW status and services.

Dial #43# to deactivate CW.

You should be able to set these and other services from the Phone App screen. Press the three vertical dots icon on the top right then settings/supplementary services/call waiting toggle. It sometimes doesn't work, so the code is better.

Switching to a call waiting or adding it in conference always does my head in. My fingers turn into clubs, I usually lose everyone.

I've been with them a year and half. In the last month, I've noticed very poor data speeds. Anyone else getting same?
