Sky Mobile, coming to Ireland

I know three people now who have switched, no issues and all went smoothly with porting too.

I just rang Sky to cancel, no way I'm going into a 12 month contract with them, if it was 30 days I might chance it.

Cancelling took 45 minutes on the phone, I total I spoke to 7 advisors who each said they would transfer me to the right person, it's a nightmare! I'm in the market for a new Broadband provider but I think Sky is gone off the list of contenders!

Joined Sky. Complete disaster with how slow the network was compared to Vodafone. Very disappointing. Not committing to 12 months of this.

Switched back to Vodafone in 10 minutes in store. Got confirmation of account cancellation straightaway from Sky by email.

Vodafone worked literally as I walked out the store.

Trying to switch last night online with an esim failed.

Let others be the Guinea Pig.

Unlimited everything means nothing if I immediately started using my phone less everywhere.

Ordered mine Friday, arrived today Wednesday. Filled out all the info online and successfully ported. Waited two hours and inserted sim. Updated data info as instructed. Restarted phone. All very straightforward and simple. Better speeds than former provider Vodafone. On 5G permanently and everything loading way faster. Tested 2FA messages successfully. Absolutely no problems and very satisfied with my decision to switch.

Yes. Vodafone supplied S22 Ultra. Toggle switch for VoLTE only showing for sim 2 which Three sim

Tried PAYG esim order online to switch back as I was on the night of day 13.

Vodafone order kept cancelling post order online. Tried twice. Next day in store I'd a choice of porting back to Vodafone with esim or sim. Never needed to speak to Sky at all.

All future Sky Bills changed to 0euro on their portal that day.

Switched over my inlaws today. They were on 2 SIMOs with eir under the same account. I selected multi-line with Sky but the transfer kept failing. I changed it to single line and it went through straight away.

However, Sky are saying the bill is already due for payment when I've only just activated the sims! Is this normal? Ordered a few weeks ago but only just activated the sims

Yes the bill you just got will be from today until around this time next month. They bill for the next month rather than the previous month.

Legend, thanks for that! Completely forgot Sky bill a month in advance. They don't care anyway since their bill is gone to €20 from nearly €60 with eir!

Did you switch 5G on, as seems you have to do manually sometimes - am in same area and have no issues with coverage

When I decided to leave Sky Mobile because of their issues, I tried to switch back to Vodafone. However, the eSIM took too long to set up (partly because it was the weekend), and my 14-day cooling-off period ended on Monday. So, I got an eSIM from Three instead. My 28-day top-up with them (20 euros) will run out on October 18th.

This past month has been really frustrating. The Three network is terrible—I usually get only 1 or 2 bars. Even when I have full bars with 5G, my speeds are just 5 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload. My battery drains quickly, and the iPhone battery app shows "Poor connection" next to cellular and that's the thing that drains the most battery.

When people call me, there’s constant static and frequent dropouts. I knew Three has worse coverage than Vodafone, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad. I don’t understand how people put up with Three, 48, Tesco, Lycamobile, or Virgin unless they don’t realize how poor the service is. I really need good cell service since the Wi-Fi at work is awful.

I’m thinking about switching to GoMo as they offer everything unlimited for €14.99 (as per their new T&Cs). Can anyone weigh in on their recent experience with GoMo? If it's bad, should I just pop into a Vodafone store and grab a SIM card there?
