    This seems too good to be true. My whole family have moved to Vodafone in the last couple of months, as the network is far superior to any other providers, particularly around rural Tipperary!

    Do Eir piggy back off Three?

    I put my daughter on Vodafone X at €20 a month. Surely they'll have to respond to this??

    Not sure if anyone has asked this yet. Any concern about clause 4.5? (Though I know the chances of it happening is very slim). Just curious what people think. I'm sure many people have their numbers for many years and to think that it can be changed at their discretion is a bit troubling.

    4.5 You do not own the Number allocated to you. We can change the Number at our discretion and will not be liable for any loss or damage, direct or indirect, which might arise from such change.

    Specifically VOIP

    I havn't even seen the term VOIP used in years, when I am abroad though I tend to use whatsapp to call home, is that VOIP in this terms?

    Have they figured out a way to bill for this separately to other data usage?

    Sorry, this is probably nothing, but it just struck me as weird and this deal strikes me as a little bit too good to be true... (ever the skeptic)
    076 is the prefix for VOIP numbers in Ireland

    Got my sim this morning. Signature required. But as it will fit in the letter box, some posties will sign for it, or scan it as being left in safe place (if option is allowed).
    It pays to look after your postie at Christmas.

    I wouldn't be surprised to find that in every operator's T&Cs

    Also it might only extend to the 085 number allocated to your SIM. That usually gets overridden when you port your own number in.

    They aren't going to take ownership of your ported number.

    Currently 076 numbers are included in my unlimited plan with Eir simo deal, will be curious to see if that’s the case now with GoMo

    076 is the VOIP prefix but there are also VOIP numbers with prefixes that are usually geographic, and technically people who get their landline service from Virgin are VOIP users. This means that they can't use services like Phonewatch.

    GoMo should clarify where exactly the VOIP rate applies.

    my wife is currently with Eir (non contract) paying €25pm

    am i wrong in assuming the service/coverage would be exactly the same as using the same network?

    also would her number need to be ported seeing as currently with Eir

    Can you port your number over a later date if you choose not to port when initially signing up?
    I'd like to try the coverage before porting my number over.

    Or alternatively, if I choose when signing up to port my number over in a few weeks time, can I try out the SIM in the meantime or would it not work at all until the port date?

    Anyone in any rural areas happy with their Meteor/Eir network? I know 3G was non existent in parts of rural Tipp on Three, until we moved to Vodafone. Now we get by quite easily

    At the moment yes, but try may keep Eir as the premium brand and only offer 5G through Eir.

    Sorry or just bumping up my query ; I am struggling with flue - may even have been answered

    I know some/all suppliers technically disallow hotspotting etc

    but would there be an issue ?

    It's not going to be a problem with the sim, but you'll need to make sure the modem is not network locked.

    I think I answered my own question, their Help & Support page confirms that ur first bill is your mnthly plan plus previous usage.

    Sounds expensive. I think I’ll order pay the initial fee and wait to activate on 1st nov.

    Looks like you are correct about the billing date, however there is still a bit of confusion over the 9.99 activation fee, apparently its now the fee for the Oct bill!
    Hello! Next available customer representative will be with you shortly.
    Representative Mathew has joined the session
    Mathew [10:49:12 AM]
    Hey! Thanks for getting in touch. My name is Matthew. How can I help?
    Mathew [10:50:34 AM]
    I'm sorry, I haven't heard from you for a while. Do you still want to chat?
    You [10:51:36 AM]
    hi
    Mathew [10:51:54 AM]
    Hello, How can I help you?
    You [10:51:58 AM]
    I am enquiring about billing datse please
    Mathew [10:52:22 AM]
    Billing dates will be at the start of every month.
    You [10:52:42 AM]
    If I port my number over this friday, will I be charged 9.99 for the month of Oct or just pro rata up to the 1st Nov?
    Mathew [10:53:24 AM]
    Yes you will be charged for October and then the next Bill will be start of November.
    You [10:54:00 AM]
    So i will be charged 9.99 for a full month despite over half the month gone?
    You [10:55:10 AM]
    So what if someone ports on the 30th Oct, do they also have to pay the full 9.99 for Oct, then another 9.99 2 days later for Nov?
    Mathew [10:56:56 AM]
    Yes this is correct, if this is a problem for you, you can wait until the 1st November to sign up.
    You [10:57:54 AM]
    Ive signed up already, can I delay the porting process and not use the account till 1st Nov?
    Mathew [10:58:48 AM]
    You can choose the date and time of when you would like to port the number within your my GoMo account.
    You [10:59:20 AM]
    Yes, but when do I start getting charged is what Im asking now?
    Mathew [11:00:24 AM]
    So you've already been charged the 9.99 for the SIM, and your next 9.99 will be the 1st November.
    You [11:00:56 AM]
    But what if I use the sim when it arrives tomorrow?
    Mathew [11:01:40 AM]
    It will still be the same if you start using tomorrow, your bill will 1st November.
    You [11:02:10 AM]
    So just to confirm, the 9.99 for the sim is actually the billing fee for Oct?
    Mathew [11:02:30 AM]
    Essentially, yes.
    You [11:03:30 AM]
    Ah ok, that clear things up a bit. I am currently on a sim only deal with Eir, is this essentially the very same plan?
    Mathew [11:04:10 AM]
    We are on the same network as eir, so your coverage and all that will be the same.
    You [11:05:16 AM]
    ok, finally, one other question, 076 numbers are currently taken from my unlimited with Eir, will this still be the same with GoMo?
    Mathew [11:05:54 AM]
    Yes this will be the same, you will get unlimited calls to landlines with GoMo.
    You [11:06:28 AM]
    Ok, thanks for your assistance, much appreciated
    Mathew [11:07:04 AM]
    No problem, thanks for chatting with me today.

    So they say on the site its simple, just pop the new sim into your phone!

    My silly question is, I have a phone from Vodafone, do I have to get them to unblock it? The sim will hardly work straight away.

    Will your number be changed if you port over? I really don’t want the hassle of that. Can’t you keep your number? Confused

    What areas of Tipp?

    From going around parts of Tipp a good bit over the last few months, these are the black spots for Eir Coverage I discovered, again its touch and go coverage and 3G is poor:

    New Inn, outskirts Cahir towards Clonmel, Templetouhy, Dundrum, Upperchurch, Templederry, Kilcommon, Puckaun, Golden, Aherlow, Drangan. Some examples. You will be able make calls and sent sms etc, but some data services are slow or will be very laggy.

    Porting is what the process of moving over your existing number to a new network provider is called

    I'm with or was with 48months. I ordered the GoMo sim yesterday. It arrived today. I changed my "Move My Number" request from next week to today at 11am. I put my new sim card in, turned off my phone and turned it back on at 11:02 and I'm now on the GoMo network receiving calls and text on 4G. Happy customer.
