Sky Mobile, coming to Ireland

I signed up on the 15th of October, not sure if the "including 6.6" clause was removed before or after I signed up. It was definitely there on October 6th, same with Eir, so it must have changed within the last 12 days. Tried Internet Archive but last backup was September 30th.

I know that it says "fair use data limits in this agreement do not apply". But it seems strange it specifically says "including 6.4" and that it used to have "6.6" and now it's gone. When I asked their support they only could confirm the 6.4 part where the 120GB monthly fair usage limit is now abolished for October 1st sign-ups. I asked them about changes and any errors and they mentioned any changes will be made during the week and "It should be updated if the terms are out of date in the coming days they make adjustments as needed to the terms shown."

Maybe they do plan to have unlimited EU roaming but it was just announced way too early? They can do unlimited domestic roaming because they own the network here, but I guess they need to get their roaming agreements abroad in order before committing to something like that?

I have a feeling it was changed on October 14th or 15th, because technically anyone who signed up on 1st of October or after is or was in their cooling off period and also the first month of the contract so maybe they can change the terms because of that?

They reuse numbers here too after a certain length of time - I think it may be 13 months but may be wrong

I have to say things have been by and large fairly smooth for me to date bar no VoLTE and WiFi calling on the OnePlus, but as I said previously, it's not a deal breaker for me at the minute anyway though no VoLTE would be whenever Vodafone switch off 3G.

I may have a very different outlook next week as I'm travelling to Spain for a few days work. Wish me luck!

An Post are on the vodafone network too

Same as the rest then.A previous poster caused me to put the question about Sky and Northern Ireland

For anyone out there who is having difficulty porting their number BACK from sky you may be encountering a similar problem to the one I had and which took a week of frustrating runarounds to solve so I thought I’d post my experience here. There IS a solution!

I originally ordered two sims. I activated one in my phone but did not use the other as it was intended for my daughter once I was happy with reception etc. After a week I decided to switch back to Three as reception wasn’t great. Based on posts read here I rang sky to tell them I’d be cancelling the contract within the cooling off period  ( but not my number) and not using the second sim. Over the next week via web, webchat, phone and person to person I tried and failed to port my number back to Three and, in desperation, eir. They tried multi line and single line ports but nothing worked.They kept on telling me that the sky account number I was providing was wrong.

I rang sky again and after a lengthy, lengthy conversation they finally discovered that in its current guise my number could never be ported anywhere due to a system design glitch on their part. My mobile account contained one activated sim and also recorded the other sim that I had ordered but had never activated. The existence of the “pre-activated” sim meant that my account was neither classified as a multi-line or single-line sim and therefore was incompatible with the porting system that mobile phone providers use. I requested that the pre-activated sim be cancelled (30 minutes later having been transferred to two incorrect departments, the guy in the cancellations/loyalty department surreally tried to upsell me an enhanced tv package before finally agreeing to cancel the sim). Thankfully this worked and my number ported back to three and,so far, I have not been penalised for shading the cooling off period.

Hopefully mine is an isolated incident but if you’re having trouble porting back from sky this might explain it.

I have always found sky good to deal with for their tv package. Quite apart from the localised poor mobile reception, having interacted extensively with telephone customer service from sky mobile and three, Sky’s level of service and understanding was comparatively abysmal and would discourage me from ever using them again.

There should be no need for any of that when it works for eir/GoMo out of the box.

I was with eir during those days but GoMo product steps away from the main company. 30 euro max monthly extra bill (which I've never had), uses same apn as eir so same service and Irish ppl who email u back 7 days a week. Those eir days are gone

anyone else having issues today, seems like there’s intermittent mobile data issues.
