Clear Mobile - New 5G 12.99/14.99 Deal 2025?

@moonboy52 I forgot to mention that there’s activation fees so it’s not just €12.99 each to try them.

With Clear Mobile, as others have mentioned, it seems you order the sim and the €12.99 activation covers you until the next month’s billing cycle, so now is probably a good time to join.

I think you can get a free month and a Penneys or Just Eat €10 voucher by getting a referral link also, which I’m sure someone here would give you.

With 48, its a €12.99 activation fee and €12.99pm. There’s also a referral program though which gets you credit that you could use for your next membership and a €10 Aldi, Uber or Penneys voucher. Again someone here on Boards would give you one or I can, just PM me.

So there are ways of getting around the activation fees for both.

Just so you know.

Need to remember VF PAYG plans are for 28 days, so that 13 payments annually, not 12.

That’s true actually you could just get Vodafone for €20. You could also just get an unlimited 5G prepay sim in Three or eir for €20 also.

Great points, folks. Really, really appreciate the input.

Maybe just paying extra, with a VF sim is the sensible way to go.

Assume having two sims is no issue. With VF already. Need to look into it.

Sorry for derailing the Clear thread ☺️

I usualy have around 25 Mb/s as upload for the last 3 month that I'm now using 48 as my main internet provider in my router. I have yet to discover issues with it and I do a lot of Zoom and Teams Video.

Generally, my speed test looks like this with the MSAK test that M-Lab is doing consistently being lower which is due to it testing multi-stream tests which is a better indication than other tests.

Hi guys, any referral link available? I will be joining in few days time but want to order SIM probably today. Thanks

Happened again now...is there any settings which r an issue? Shocking that it does not work at multiple spots...shows 5G signal ! I am Voda APN

It's literally going to settings and selecting an option once u have added it once

Has anyone else run into issues using this providers SIM in a 4g or 5g router? I can't get it to work for data, after messing about with lots of APNs.

Seems to work fine in an Android phone though!

Strange, it seems very temperamental in both my 4g Tenda and 5g TCL router, never had issues with any other provider. Got it working with that APN for a while but certain things wouldn't load and support haven't a clue (prob don't want to help people using routers). Oh well, may have to go back to 48.

I genuinely think this could be a real factor. It works fine on my phones, but not on any 4G/5G modem I've tried. I even tested another 4G Alcatel router — same issue. It’s possible they’ve found a way to detect this with newer SIMs 🤔. Swapped the 48 SIM back in, and it worked immediately.

Yeah as @wassie said above there is multiple ways they could know. Some routers allow you to spoof the TTL.

Is there a MAC cloning option on your router? Maybe you could put in the MAC of your phone to see if that works?
