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

I travelled this week (to the UK) and was fearful I would have the same issues I had last summer (no voice/data for 8 days!!) but this time I followed the instructions here and before I got to baggage reclaim I managed to get service. The relief!!!

Also on the way back it worked much quicker than usual. I have an iPhone 7.

Has 48 sorted out the EU roaming problems as in switching over to a local network without restarting the phone and keeping everything crossed that it will work?

My young adult kids have used 48 for a long time and travelling a few times in the past year they have given up and relied on wifi. and friends. Not good if travelling alone and have to make a call on arrival at the airport. They have all switched to virgin €5 for 5 months offer as it finds the local provider in seconds.

If you are not receiving calls or texts you are probably outside the 90 day period for renewing your membership since your last membership expired.I think your best option is to contact 48 webchat again and ask if your number is still available.

1. Fair Usage Policy (FUP)

Our fair usage policy will be changing from 10,000 minutes and 10,000 text messages per membership to 5,000 minutes and 5,000 text messages per membership. After the expiry of your current membership, your membership fair usage policy (FUP) will change to 5,000 minutes and 5,000 text messages. All other allowances and limits are unchanged

Strange one?

yeah possibly but its hard to think of many people who would use more than 5,000 texts a month, like that is 166 texts a day when most people are using Whatapp anyway. With calls its almost 3 hours per day on the phone, some people could do that some days but Id doubt theres many doing it every day throughout the month

3. Misuse of 48 Services

Our provisions relating to suspension and termination of 48 services will be updated, where 48 has the sole discretion to terminate or suspend accounts without notice to you if it has been reasonably suspected by 48 that you have violated 48’s terms and conditions. For example, 48 reserves the right to disconnect any SIM cards, if more than 20 SIM cards have been ordered on your account within a six-month period with the same delivery address. We also have the right to suspend or terminate the use of 48 services if we suspect you are using your 48 SIM in a gateway or similar devices.

Oh was this only targeted at the €7.99 plan? I typically use whatsapp for calls and text so it doesn't effect me, I hope they don't reduce the data allowance next.

I'll be interested to see if 48 now start to offer 4G while roaming after the EU regulation came into effect today.

There is a thread already on this over on 48.ie https://community.48.ie/t5/Internet/4g-roaming-new-EU-regulation-1-July-2022/m-p/57977

I would imagine it will depend on when proximus.be implement it seeing that they look after roaming for 48.

If it's still active,that is.Well past the 90 day expiry limit for a topup.I'm in the market for a e7.99 sim too,if available.

Does data roaming not work in Germany ?
