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

Nice! I was trying not to overdo the downloading this month for the first month of no limits but good to hear of someone testing it to the extreme!

I will stop holding back now and use my average 1TB. Lots of things in the queue to download.

@Murt2024 interested in learning about the 5G router you’re using.

What make/model? Price? Did you buy it online?

Asking as I’d be interested in trying it out myself.

How long does it take to get a 48 SIM?

I ordered one on Oct 14, got the acknowledgement email but still have not received it.

Thanks @Murt2024 for info on modem and to @biebiebie for posting the question I was going to ask.

yeah, should have it by now, I'd follow up with them or just order another. make sure to put your eircode on it

You will have to go on 48.ie website and wait for the chatbot to pop up on the right hand side as far as I know.It's my usual way of contacting them.

I was on the €7.99 plan - automatic regular direct debits for years. Then my card recently expired and I was issued a new one. Instead of letting me know the payment request had failed due to the details changing, they just kept silent - pretty deliberate I suspect - and now say my plan has expired and I need a new one. Bummer.

Seems they don't create a regular direct debit authority with the bank, they must enter your card details including date of expiry and pac number every time, which seems like an incredibly dangerous way to do things from a hacking perspective and their handling of card details.

I feel like a right mug for not realising that there wasn't a proper direct debit facility in place.

Update: After writing the above I got an email from 48 saying my payment had failed - this is days later - and among other things, said "update your card details to reactivate your plan"

When I logged into the 48 app and via their website, I was told I did not have an active plan and a prominent buy plan fr €12.99 button was displayed.

Before getting the email I was so tempted to go 'ah feck it' and press it as it seemed inevitable, but I thought I would hold off and try contacting them.

The app proved useless, but l logged into the website and updated my card details, which sent a €0.00 payment request to my bank for authorisation. I couldn't see any option to continue my current plan, only a 'Buy Plan' option under the 'My48 Account' menu. So I tried that, and could scarcely believe my eyes that there were a list of plan options including the original €7.99 for 100 GB one, so clicked on that and went throught the bank payment validation process and of course selected the auto-renew option.

So panic over.

However don't buy the more expensive plans because they won't let you return to €7.99!

Anyone else on the 7.99 plan notice speeds at busy times down to a crawl….or are they throttling to stop streaming?

They give me the option.....

Tried 5g and didn't notice any difference so went back to the 7.99 plan

I'm about to be out of data with 4 days left on the 7.99 plan, anyone know if I can just buy a new plan and have it start straight away?

Try swapping minutes for data, AFAIK it's 100 minutes for 1GB up to a max of 3GB.

So it looks like 48 now allow the sending of premium texts looking at the link below. If so then I know of a few people on 48 who will be delighted they'll be able to enter a certain radio money competition.

It will,also,lead to a crying by some when it's discovered they've signed up to a premium recurring service without realising it.Welcome to the World

Anyone on the €7.99 plan thinking of LEAVING 48 please me know as my friend wants to join and will buy your sim from you.
