    I'm getting a very annoying problem with incoming calls. I can answer the call perfectly and after about a minute into the call I can't hear anything, the call is still connected but all I have is silence. When I ring the person back the call works perfectly, it's extremely annoying.

    Is the sms message down again?

    Posted this in the "Gomo Roaming in UK" thread originally but said I'd post it here as well:

    Is it correct that if I am in the UK for the year with my GoMo SIM, calls and texts both to the UK and Ireland are free, and I get 10GB data per month (not just 10GB once)? So basically it's the same as in Ireland but with 10GB monthly data limit?

    Hello all!

    Have a GoMo SIM. Credit card number changed recently, twice. Got no obvious error from GoMo but lost connectivity to calls and SMS texts last night - probably due to non-payment but no other notification received that I recall, either text or e-mail.

    Trying to contact GoMO via Chat but getting no response. Am not able to change my credit card number either, failing silently.

    Has anyone a direct number or email that I can use to escalate my issue please?

    LN.

    Anyone ever had any issues changing their number over. My number was supposed to change over onto my new SIM at 10am yesterday but it hasn't... No response to messages sent to their Customer Care yet



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,223 ✭✭✭cavan4sam


    I just ordered 4 sims to change over in a few day keeping my own number... sims arrived in post today with all 085 numbers...

    Are these going to be OK and switch automatically or should they have my original numbers on each one?

    You'll have to port your old number. Make sure the sims work, first. Also, don't port over a weekend, it can take much longer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,223 ✭✭✭cavan4sam


    OK i wonder can I change porting time until a mid week afternoon now or is it too late..

    And re porting.. Is there much to it. Can't see a lot on the website as to what to do



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


    If the date/time you choose for porting hasn't already passed you should be able change the time.

    The facility for booking the porting the number can be found on the website at MyGoMo > Account Details > Move My Number.

    Anyone else having dire coverage for calls/texts/data for the last few weeks? I'm in Galway

    Almost makes you wonder if they are trying to shift people off the €10/month deal. But maybe it's just me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,890 ✭✭✭SCOOP 64


    My sons phone was stolen while he was away, i used my laptop logged on to his Gomo account you can block the sim from here and order a new one, i didn't have any problems, this was yesterday.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,171 ✭✭✭fbradyirl


    Shouldn’t the coverage be the same as Eir? Are you in Galway city? Which type of phone? Are you getting 2g/3G/4g?



  • Site Banned Posts: 2,997 ✭✭✭Markus Antonius


    I heard it should be the same as vodafone (which may be the same as Eir). I live about 20mins northwest of the city but the coverage has been relatively good for the last 15 or so years (vodafone prior to Gomo in 2019)

    Using a 4g Moto g but tried it on different phones and other family members on gomo having similar poor coverage.

    Don't really want to lose the 10/month, but not sure how long I could hold out - it's shocking bad.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,171 ✭✭✭fbradyirl


    Vodafone is a different network. Gomo runs on the Eir network which I believe runs on upgraded Meteor & O2 infrastructure.

    im moving to Gomo this week. I’m south Galway so I’ll let you know how it goes. The wifi calling in my home is the main selling point.



  • Site Banned Posts: 2,997 ✭✭✭Markus Antonius




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


    Eir network only, they have no access to 3, Vodafone or old O2 network



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,171 ✭✭✭fbradyirl


    Oh yes you are right. I remember now that it was Eir that took the Meteor network and it was Three that took O2.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,152 ✭✭✭Morrisseeee


    Cheers, the option to replace SIM is now working on the website, not sure why it took a week to do so!!!

    I just realised I can avail of the Eir Mobile Connect 30 day plan for €9.99 per month, which includes 5G & I believe includes Wifi Calling. Is there any reason to stick with Gomo rather than go to Eir?

    It goes up to 19.99 per month after 12 months, could be a not to.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 734 ✭✭✭babelfish1990


    I have been on this plan for several years. Each year, I call Eir and they renew the €9.99pm mobile plan at the same price. If you don't do this, the price goes up after 12 months. (You have to make the call - you can't renew this rate online) If you are prepared to pay 50% more for GoMo (€14.99pm), they state that you will have the tariff "for life" (but without 5G), and to date they seem to have honored this promise. The Eir Mobile Connect 30 day plan seems like a no-brainer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,171 ✭✭✭fbradyirl


    Ah right that sounds great. Do they also give you a deal on the broadband side to keep it on a lower tariff? I believe the 12 month mobile deal ties with the broadband contract right?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 734 ✭✭✭babelfish1990


    Yes, but in my experience, they don't generally match the steep discount that new customers get in the first year for Broadband. They do renew the discounts on mobile and TV (also €9.99pm), and they have the advantage that you can do multi-room TV without any additional monthly fee (they don't advertise this - you just buy your own boxes). If you are getting TV & Mobile, the full bundle remains very competitive if you re-contract each year.



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


    I'm on my 3rd year getting the discount applied.

    500mb broadband €35, 3 x SIM only@€9.99 and Eir TV with free Apple TV €9.99

    Full 5G, 4G Calling and Wifi-calling. The 30GB roaming allowance is fairly good compared to other operators. Vodafones top PAYG plan at €30 offers the same allowance. (30GB data roaming in Europe)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭Ah-Watch


    @fbradyirl They'll recontract your home broadband bill if you opt for the sim only offer. I'd recommend ringing loyalty first and getting a good recontract price and then order the sim separately, that is if you're already out of contract on your home broadband already. Eirs network has improved big time in my area and blows the other 2 big networks out of the water for data speeds. Never had a good experience with their home broadband though so wouldn't touch them with a barge poll for my broadband.


    Does GoMo REALLY get the same speed as Eir mobile (5G aside)? I tried GoMo at the beginning and the Eir sim out performed it on every speed test but I thought they were meant to be the same speed. I might give GoMo a shot again soon if they're the same.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 734 ✭✭✭babelfish1990


    That's very good! What did you have to do to persuade them to renew the basic Broadband price of €35? I have found them very helpful with renewing the full discounts on TV & Mobile, but I have only renewed with a part-discount on Broadband. Did you have to go as far as cancelling?



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


    I added a mobile on the 11th month which added 12 months to the contract and got to keep my discounts.

    The second time customer care contacted me as someone wanted my unused phone number that was assigned to me, agreed to have it extended again.

    Third time I upgraded from 150mb@€30 to 500mb@€35 which extended it for another 12 months.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,171 ✭✭✭fbradyirl


    Oh wow, I was wondering about that.

    I called them a couple of weeks back as my 12 month broadband was running out. I was paying €35 for 150MB and it was going up to over 70 and I told her I was moving to Sky, so immediately she offered to switch me back to €35 and bumped the speeds to 500MB to match Sky.

    So I am thinking near the end of my first Gomo month (end of Sept), to switch to the Eir 9.99 deal so ill get 5G as well, but I was wondering if the broadband extension would play nice with that and it seems so.

    Did you ever find a solution to this? Has happened me on 2 bills in recent months, first was 4 sms to Sweden all at same time & 2nd bill was 4 to China again at same time, GoMo says it’s malware/ permissions, have iPhone & has been checked & nothing irregular
