    The offer is still open until tomorrow.
    My OH wanted to change from 3 where she was paying 60 a month and going out of contract. But 3 offered her a deal to match gomo at 10 / month.

    Not sure its a match, Gomo price is locked to €10. Three will only do it for 12 months very reluctantly.

    I saved €80 p/m by moving from Three to Gomo, a no brainer for us anyway.

    GoMo specifically stated from the start that WiFi calling is not supported.

    Is this the same as using WhatsApp for calls? Daughter on GoMo and can make and receive calls via WhatsApp.

    Hi folks. Advice needed. I have received my new gomo sim. My old 3 service is gone. I log into my gomo account and see I have alert. I type my 3 phone number in that I want to move. What do I do next? Do I have put in another move date, and get a code, put in new sim? Thanks.

    Not quite. It would be a normal call, but over wifi, instead of cellular. You wouldn't need to use Whatsapp/Viber etc. Just the standard dialler on your phone.

    Dumb question am on a rolling 30 day contract sim only with eir.

    If I apply for Gomo before the deal ends and select my porting date for say 33 days time then call eir to serve my 30 day notice, I should ok right?

    Suppose I could cancel eir first, get my last day with them date and apply to Gomo with that for the porting date?

    Heard good and bad things about gomo, just hope I get the good and seamless transfer!

    If you have been with them longer than 30 days then you can port away today. No need to give notice. When you request the port from GoMo, eir will automatically close your account and send you a final bill.

    If you gave notice and waited longer than 30 days they could cancel your account and you'd have problems getting your number back.

    Thinking of using the GoMo SIM in a wifi router. I have very low internet usage so should never come close to the 80gb "limit".

    I have a Huawei B525 router which is not currently tied to any network. Is there anything I need to consider with this approach or should it work out of the box?

    Thanks - AZ

    Put it in a phone first to remove the SIM pin. After that then it should be just a matter of popping it in the router.

    I use mine in a router with no issues. I enter the pin in the admin page (192.1.1 etc whatever it is) I have mine bookmarked as I can never remember it.

    We usually reach the limit by the end of the month so the last day or two we have terribly slow internet so we just hot spot from our phones if needed then.

    But we have gone from €45 and up a month for eir mobile broadband to a set 9.99 a month so its a great saving for the exact same service.

    Just moved a second SIM to GoMo without a hitch.. Got the GoMo SIM in early dec and used it in a router for relatives home from abroad over Christmas.

    Ported my Vodafone number (one of a multi-line) to it without issue today [during business hours] - was only out of service for the length of time it took me to swap sims when Vodafone signal wend dead.
    • Calls incoming and outgoing working very well.
    • Data is as fast as Vodafone was in my location.
    • SMS all good too

    Another happy camper.

    If they don't extend it then it effectively ends today...

    This is the last chance to get all calls, all texts and all data for €9.99 a month for life with GoMo. It is confirmed that a new but also limited time mobile offer will launch early on the morning of Wednesday 15th
    January.

    4G can have real world speeds of 130Mbps or more although gomo doesn't come close to this but it is possible as Vodafone do.
    If gomo can't come close to maxing 4G speeds how important is 5G to you?
    What kind of speed do you need? Does 5G have other advantages that are not related to speed?

    Lower latency and higher capacity. :)

    I don't care too much about 5G myself, but I'm sure there were also people a few years ago who asked why people care so much if their mobile network will include 4g for free in their plan considering how fast 3G currently is, it's all relative. :)

    In some cases if you give eir your 30 days notice Eir delete your number on the 30th day and then it fails to port on the 33rd day.


    I'd move to prepay with Eir and then to Gomo or just don't tell Eir at all and take your number without saying anything.

    Got my sim today but getting Edge on the network.
    And no way it's connecting to YouTube for example.
    Is this a bad sign.
    Any advice as to what I can do with it.

    Have you tried turning it off and on again ?

    😀 Not sure if sarcastic but yeah. Tried searching automatically for network and manually connecting to Eir 3g network. Still get Edge. Or occasionally H with no bars (still no YouTube etc).
    Are there data settings.i need to put in manually

    Where are you based?
    Check here if there is a mast nearby
    https://siteviewer.comreg.ie/

    It's not showing roaming is it?

    In the APN settings, I just got Eircom wap.
    Maybe this is the problem.
    Do I need to import APN settings

    Can I order a sim today and port my number later? Or do you have to click "keep my number" when ordering in order to port your number at a later date?

    I'm going purchasing the sim card now but going to decide when to port at a later date when i receive the sim card.

    Can i just purchase a new sim/new number or do i have to enter my current number and have it validated now to port in the future?
