    so my great data drought is coming to a head, have gotten up to 207GB by swapping calls for data and sharing 3GB from another sim and then subbing another 1GB from next months membership. But now only have 1.2GB left with 5 days still to go. If anyone here has a spare 3GB they know they wont use or carry over would appreciate it being sent on, reply to this and I'll PM you the phone number.

    Going forward I think I'll just have to get another sim and rotate them as 200GB a month is no longer cutting the mustard in the 4G router. Have been binging too much Netflix lately and am just eating the data.

    How is Spain now for roaming? Do you still have to do all the settings?

    Some posters reported getting a refund last month. Did you get one? Maybe it was a mistake and they're processing them again?

    I've two accounts and didn't get a refund on either and was only charged for each one once on 14th and 15th November.

    I had got a txt from 48 last month to say they were giving a free month as the site would be down and if your membership fell due on the site maintenance dates then you would not be charged and would have free membership for the month.


    edit : just contacted 48 there was an issue with their system whereby customers were not debited in October, I’ve two kids accounts one was free the other wasn’t debited.

    I am looking to get a 48.ie sim card for 12.99 euros but looking at the website, I can not see anything about 100GB or 200GB. I only see 11GB? Am I reading correctly you only get 11GB now? I do not want to pay 12.99 euros for only 11GB.

    Thanks

    The €12.99 membership includes 200Gb data. For a free 48 sim with a free months credit follow...

    11gb refers to the amount that can be used outside of the Republic of Ireland inside the EU/UK. The All data (200GB FUP) bit covers the Republic of Ireland.

    Do we have a 5G now? I noticed 5G pop up on my phone in town today, it was only there for a very short time though

    Getting 5g with ages.


    On a separate issue though. Has anyone else noticed their signal doesn't drop out anymore.

    It was happening me several times a day and I haven't noticed it happening anytime in the last few months.

    It's not nearly as frequent, but it still happens in low signal areas and can require a toggle of airplane mode to get signal back for me.

    Random drop outs in high signal areas multiple times a day seem to have stopped though.

    Yes but use refer.48.ie/peterd-1781 to get a free month.

    Hi everyone. Has anyone had a problem not getting verification codes from your bank for purchases or paying bills online?

    I've been a customer of 48 for about a year and have had no difficulties until a few weeks ago, when the code my bank sent by text to me didn't transmit.

    I thought it was a problem at the bank's end but after an extensive investigation at my branch, they verified that the problem was not at their end. However, the very helpful lady there told me that she had heard that 3's customers were not receiving texts from financial institutions. It was a problem there.

    Is 48 a subsidiary of 3? It is quite a hassle as I pay bills etc. online.

    Your advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Yep, 48 are on 3 network. They also had problems sending/receiving SMS shortcodes like 53100

    I'm with 48 since the start of the €7.99 deal and never had a problem with verification codes.

    With them a while now and yes, codes do seem to vanish but my bank (ptsb) seem to come through.


    Looking to change because I'm fed up with the crappy roaming service.

    I was away in November and the roaming was working for the first time since I joined years ago. Took a bit of messing with the SIM toolkit but once it was set to roaming profile and the APN correct it worked for the duration of the trip.

    I was very close to porting away myself as it would never work for me previously.

    I contacted the tech guy at 48.ie and he ran a diagnostic and told me that the problem is with AIB's service provider which may not have 48 on their system.

    I'm happy enough with 48 and do not want to switch, but if it's impossible to pay bills or purchase goods etc. online it's a huge problem.

    Please, can anyone help me solve this dilemma?

    Get another cheapo sim specifically for this.
