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

And cost of living increase by them applied in April each year.2% minimum + RPI increase?

4G in Spain working now

Can anyone advise how to set up/activate my voicemail please?

Calls that I don’t answer never go to voicemail so I miss a number messages.

Thanks

Anyone having general connectivity issues? Signal is dropping dozens of times a day for seconds/minutes at a time.

When I do get signal it's barely functional, ok for a WhatsApp msg but not good enough to load a webpage. Then will go back to full speed randomly.

It hasn't been this bad in ages. Seriously thinking of jumping ship to the €15 three offer, which even though it's technically the same network I can almost guarantee will be night and day better

I'm in Sligo, so not a localised problem then. I'm loath to give up the €7.99 deal but the amount of times I've taken my phone out of my pocket to find it with no signal the last while is ridiculous.

i'm just back from france yesterday , no coverage with 48, tried all the options with apn etc, other friends on gomo were working fine. i have now left 48 after 6 years.

and give up the number

I have a 48 sim that was ordered during the 10.99 offer. I never activated it though so I am not sure if it is activated now would they give you the 10.99 offer or if it would be the current 12.99 one. But if you want it then PM me and I can throw it in the post so you can try it.

ok right, looks like I might be in a jam, its more like 80GB extra I need to get to the end of the 30 days rather than the few you can get by buying or borrowing more. Its in a 4G router and Ive been binging too much on Netflix and football on Now TV

Does anyone know how strict they are on the 200Gb fair use limit for €12.99 sims? (Seriously does anyone know from experience?) After all they do advertise it as "All you can eat". Maybe they'll allow you run 80Gb over one month? Might be worth asking.

And of course you can use data from your "safe". ...or buy "addon" data - but that's relatively expensive.

If you contact them online and ask them to restart the month early, they will (reluctantly) do so but they'll take up to 5 working days. This might work for you if you have that much time left in the month.

But if you're liable to frequently run over the 200 gig monthly limit, maximum flexibility is provided by getting two sim cards, turning off auto-renew, and alternating month start dates at your own discretion.

From experience last month I hit the 200GB limit and it just knocked off the internet full stop at that point so yeah they are strict. In fact I think it was 205GB as I carried over 5GB from the previous month but once that was gone so was my internet.

Im going to hit the 200GB again over the weekend so what I'll do is put my 7.99 phone sim in the router. That has 100GB on it and I only ever use about 5GB of it when out and about on 4G so I will have about 95GB to play with which will get me through to the end of the 30 days. But obviously I wont be able to accept phone calls while the sim is in there so its not ideal. But I can still use Whatsapp on the web so Im not completely uncontactable

But yeah going forward I'll have to consider getting a second sim card for the router to have maximum flexibility. Probably not yet though as the Premier League is on a 5 week break for the World Cup soon so once I get over this currnnt hump I'll be okay until January.

I wonder are there any other networks doing sims for about 15 a month that give more than 200GB fair usage? A 300GB version would really help me out.

You could order the three hero plan sim, but today is the last day to do so. I think it's unlimited.

EDIT: It actually seems to be gone from their website.

Would anyone have any idea why 48 would refund my 7.99 monthly fee?

It came out our my bankaccount on 30th Oct. and I was just looking at my account there and says 48 refund on 7 Nov. 🤔

Not sure...but similar here. Have one of the kids set up with automatic top-up on my revolut card, and got a notification on the revolut app that the money had been reverted as the merchant did not claim it within 7 days. Still has the membership though.
