    Looks like service is back, I can make calls and sent texts but mobile data is not working for me.

    I running dual SIM Gomo and 48. Data dropped out on 48 a little while ago. It shows fill bars with the data set to Gomo, but as soon as I switch data to 48 it drops.

    I've switched off auto renew. I think I'll stick with Gomo.

    I assume when I port to eir I don't need to buy credit before I port back? Thinking of doing it over a 24 your period

    Not sure TBH, probably not.

    Testimony of porting from 48 to Lyca and back with no top up...

    - Activate new 48 SIM
    - Buy membership
    - Port number from existing SIM to Eir (Lyca SIMs are easier to get in Spar, Centra etc). Don't port back to 48 before buying membership, that may have been the problem along with the email address.

    Having said that another poster reused an old address but had changed it on the old account before signing up again.
    I reused an old email address without issue but I haven't ported in a number that was on 48 before. Also, I had to log into the old 48 account and change my email there before I could use use that email signing up for a new account so I don't see how reusing an email that was registered with 48 before could have caused the other poster's issue.

    I'm thinking it was porting in a number that was previously on 48 was their undoing. Hopefully, as you suggest, buying the €7.99 membership before porting in the number will solve the issue.

    Why is it so hit miss :mad:

    Around 3pm I was getting 2mb download speeds and now I'm getting 100mb+.
    I'm on the trial period at the moment but I'm probably not going to switch as speeds are all over the place too much.

    Network is over subscribed, speeds are probably good now as alot of users have no data access.

    Mobile operators down as Three tries to fix network outage

    Adrian Weckler
    September 27 2020 05:11 PM
    Several of the country’s mobile operators are down after Three said that it has undergone an outage.
    Customers of Three, Virgin Media and Tesco Mobile have taken to social media platforms to complain to the operators about a loss of data connectivity.

    Three carries 68pc of the country’s mobile data and is the base network used by four other operators — Tesco Mobile, Virgin Mobile, Lycamobile and 48.

    “We're aware Three customers are experiencing difficulty with loss of service today, we're working to get this fixed as quickly as possible,” a Three customer service agent tweeted today to people asking what was going on.

    Independent.ie has contacted Three and is awaiting a further statement.

    Yes and no, it's fairly accurate but just because you have 4g signal doesn't automatically mean you will have good speeds. I had 4g yesterday while out on my travels and at one stage couldn't load a page. Will give it another few days to see if it's just teething problems with all the new joiners or related to 3's outage. If I'm still facing them problems in a week or two I think I'll be moving elsewhere.

    It's a theoretical map based on mast locations and possibly topography. It doesn't indicate real world connection quality. AFAIK the Comreg map is just an amalgamation of each networks own map.

    Only way to get an idea of each networks coverage is to get a SIM and try it out.

    Nope.
    It’s states I have very good signal on gomo where I live.
    I can categorically state I have no bars and only 600m from a cell tower.

    Constant call Cather texts and voicemail notifications 2 days after the event.

    I swapped to 48 last week. 3 bars, and so,etimes LTE in my kitchen now. I had no bars last week on gomo.

    Quick question. I’ve got an active €7.99 plan. I’ve now also got €8 credit. If I use that €8 to buy a membership will it stack up the membership or with the month start again from today? I’ve 18 days left on my current membership.


    Yes you can buy memberships in advance and stack them. On the Memberships page select the 100GB Membership and there should be an option to pay with your credit.


    Today I used my €7.99 recruit credit to buy a membership for next month and it has appeared as upcoming on the Memberships page (see attachment).

    My daughter used my referral sim and we both got free credit of €8.
    Then she got a message to set up iMessage on the iPhone which is a uk text service and used up 8c. So now she has €7.92 which won’t be enough to buy her next membership.

    - Enter ACTIVATION CODE from the card (6 character code)
    - Select NEW NUMBER

    There should 1GB data to use over 8 days to test it out

    Question before I need to reorder a sim or not.
    Had been a 48 customer before and moved.
    Ordered a sim using friends referral link. Pretty sure I added my email when ordering.
    When it arrives is it possible to change my email address before porting so can avail of the 7.99 offer or should I just order a new SIM now with different email address?

    It took them years to get 4G (2019 vs 2014 for 3) when it was standard on nearly every other network, I wouldn't be holding my breath for 5G!

    16.2 and 8.4 here in Finglas, Dublin 11 just now.
    In the same l0cation last week with gomo I was on E with one bar and couldn’t even take a phone call.

    I use WiFi at home obviously so the signal boost is worth it alone for the call quality.

    Edit - where can I check my settings?
    I noticed on the Speedtest app I was connected to Tesco mobile and eir somehow?
    In my moline data settings on iPhone, they are all blank.

    Dublin 7 and GOMO works ok on phone but in test looks bad compared to other peoples test.

    48 at times went way up but mostly lower.

    I'm just moving one number so I'm not too bothered.

    I am using Chrome browser. Checked the app - looks similar. In both I can Edit card details, not delete the card.

    But found this on their site, so looks like turning off Auto renewal and renewing manually will give an option to either use Credit or Card. Auto renewal will charge Card automatically.

    How to add your membership.

    Login to your My48 on desktop or App.
    Go to >> Membership or in a hurry click here
    If you have an active membership and want to renew this again then select "Buy next membership"
    If your current membership has expired or you want to change to another membership then chose from the available options displayed.
    Once you've selected the membership you want, a new screen will display your purchase summary.
    You'll have the option to pay from your registered card, your available credit balance or you can add a new payment card.

    On the correct APN alright, just that speedtest often identifies Liffey Telecom as Tesco Mobile.

    Anyway, have had enough.

    Ported away this morning and ComReg complaint updated.

    Anyone on the GoMo €9.99 deal I would strongly recommend you stick with it!! 48's customer care is non-existent and they do not monitor their complaints mailbox so if you have anything that cannot be solved by livechat, you're completely screwed.
    ComReg won't take over the handling of any issue until you've exhausted every possible opportunity to get the network to deal with your case first so you'll be waiting weeks rather than days for an ultimate resolution as you need to run down the clock of 48 ignoring you first.
