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

Heading to antwerp in belgium in a few weeks time…anybody have roaming issues with 48 network in belgium?

funny attempt by 48 to get people to move from the 7.99 plan.. got the email yesterday… upgrade to12.99 plan and get 5g… who cares.. don't need it..

Fair enough. You won't beat inflation for the rest of your life on a technicality. 💁‍♂️

They might also decide to close down 48 and relaunch a brand new service, 49. 😁 €7.99 for life means the life of 48, end 48s life and that's that.

Caller, stop giving them ideas!

Sounds like a variation of the supermarkets ploy.Withdraw a product then reduce the size and increase the price.But e10.99 already a price point for 48,so would have to be 13.99,14.99 or more for 49.

Anyone who ordered a replacement sim know how long it took? I'm hoping for quicker than the 5-7 days they say it takes

Banking on 3 cos I'm away for a week, will be a pain with no phone

it should work with your current sim if you're comfortable checking APN settings, and changing to 48months.liffeytelecom.com if necessary

I may have to move onto this package.

I wonder what the motivation behind removing the FUP is? Can't imagine it will do anything for network performance!

I think it is down to new advertising rules around "unlimited":

https://adstandards.ie/guidance-limitless-unlimited/

It came into effect on the 25th April 2024 but with a 6 month period window to make amendments to comply so feels like it is down to this and I would hope the rest of the providers will do the same or at least stopping referring to things as "unlimited".

Agreed. They will just make sure to not use the word "unlimited" anywhere in that plan and be explicit about the limit for that plan.

I was only thinking this last night. I have a US iPhone 15 so no sim tray which prevents me using 48. Vodafone recently changed my bill pay plan with no notice to one far inferior to what I had and it was about the only thing keeping me on Vodafone. eSim will surely be a deal breaker for alot of people in the coming few years or is there an EU requirement to have the option of a physical sim in newer phones?

Eir still doesn’t offer eSIM either. It’s still just Vodafone, Three, and Lyca Mobile. It’s kind of surprising how slow the carriers have been to adopt eSIM here.
