    Do 48 let you use your phone as a hotspot ?

    4G is so fast, I don’t think 5G is worth upgrading for. I suppose if you are using it as a hotspot. BTW 5G tends to run your phone battery down faster too.

    now that you say it, my battery was going down faster than normal and phone was quite hot - changed network settings to exclude 5G and phone not as hot to hold

    People who might have problems with data on 48 can try and change there APN settings to 3ireland.ie as 48 piggybacks on the 3 network.

    I have crap data when I go back to my parents and just tried this and it's much better. Could I just leave the 3 Ireland apn settings on permanently? Also, have you got a link to the full settings?

    You can leave the 3ireland settings on permanently if you want to, there should be no disruption to your service. As for a link just search Google for 3ireland APN settings.

    Based on the coverage maps for 4G and 5G, it appears that 5G has far greater coverage. It's becoming frustrating when the signal keeps dropping in the car or on the train. Is this actually the case from anyones experience as that would be reason for me to upgrade.

    No. Their coverage map differentiates between indoor and outdoor coverage for 4G, but 5G only shows if 5G is available in the general area. Besides the fact their 5G is non-standalone, meaning it relies on an underlying 4G signal to work. No 4G = No 5G.

    ported the mother over last week, she’s away tomorrow. If roaming doesn’t automatically happen when she gets there I’ll be out of the will and shunned from the family 🤣

    It probably won't it never has anytime I was in Spain or the UK.

    Send her this

    Make sure that mobile data and roaming options are enabled on your handset

    1. Next check your APN settings are correctly updated on your phone.
      In in order to enter APN settings, go to Settings> Mobile Network> Access Point Names.
    2. Delete the existing APN settings which are already saved to your phone.
      Enter the following APN settings: 

    Name- 48 Internet
    APN - 48months.liffeytelecom.com
    Proxy - Not set
    Port - Not set
    Username - user
    Password - Not set

    Server - Not set
    MMSC - http://mmc1/servlets/mmsMMS proxy - 10.1.11.19
    MMS port - 8080
    MCC - 272
    MNC - 11
    Authentication type - PAP
    APN type - default, supl, mms

    Then save your settings

    • iPhone: Appears within your handset settings. Go to settings > Mobile Data > SIM Application
    • Huawei: Similar to Android and appears as a stand-alone app but can often be located in your tool’s folder.

    Open 48 Sim Menu >> When abroad >> Network selection.

    1. Select Manual
    2. You’ll see 2 options International – Roaming profile and Local Home Profile
    3. Select International – Roaming Profile
    4. Once selected you will see a prompt that says refreshing SIM data
    5. Look at your signal bar, has signal come through

    a ridiculous thing to have to send to a probably quite elderly person just to enable a phone to roam. How 48 are still getting away with this I’ll never know. Regulator absolutely useless

    Can anyone help with enabling hotspot access from my iPhone on my 48 plan? I’m pretty sure it worked initially but can’t get it set up now.

    On a separate matter if someone I Know is abroad it won’t let me call them— any workaround for that. I’m on the €12.99 plan.

    Any help much appreciated

    Seems to be hit and miss. Can confirm the mother who had a week old sim arrived yesterday and it didn’t work.
    Every other network there is zero issues it happens automatically don’t understand how these can’t get it right.
