    They don't seem to have a customer service forum on here so I'll ask here - Anyone else having issues getting any 2 factor authentication type text messages. I've sent a few customer support issues and gotten responses saying it'll be resolved soon.But then it isn't

    There's a thread about it...

    TLDR, Gomo should fix it but can't be bothered, Comreg no help either.

    Is 5G still working? Any more 5G reception/speed reports?

    I got the Galaxy S20 Ultra last week and have gotten 5G in Clondalkin and in town more than a few times. Speeds are amazing!

    How about everyone else?

    Cheers,

    2 SIMs ported from Vodafone and no issue with receiving 2FA SMS messages. Have got AIB, Revolut and some other one (can't remember now)

    Issue could be related to whoever you ported from or lie with eir/GoMo.

    Has anyone somehow got their work VPN working using a GoMo SIM. Mine only works with a 3 SIM card but GoMo it will never connect to VPN, the Three network is diabolical lately but GoMo is very good just can't seem to connect to it for work.

    Is your three SIM a work provided SIM?
    Can you connect to the internet OK on the GoMo SIM (Silly question but I assume you can)

    Depends on what you need, but have you tried connecting to Three on 3G only?

    I sometimes find that if 4g is acting up, 3g can give me 8-10 Mbps.

    And yet 3g is only capable of 3 Gbs. Do you mean HSPA+?

    HSPA+ is an extension of 3G and is listed as 3G in the settings of most phones. And it's hilarious that you made the mistake of using Gbps instead of Mbps when you were pedantically correcting someone else.

    But you can get faster on H+

    Yes an also it shows when you are connected at H+ speeds so there wouldn't be any mistake about which service you are using.
    MY local mast has 3G and 4G but no H+

    See the post above yours. I doubt any phone sold in the last four years has the capacity to select , HSUPA, HSDPA or HSPA+ at the discretion of the user.

    Kind of Covid-19 related and I apologise for that, but when the sim card is delivered do you need to sign for it or will An Post just pop it in the letter box?

    No need for signature. It's a very low value item so in the unlikely event it goes missing they will just send you another.

    TLDR...no sig required by recipient


    Back in the good ole days of October to February, it varied between post delivery staff, some asked for sig, some didn't but they were probably ticking the box as a quasi delivery confirmation.

    Since March An post have said no more physical sig required, postal staff will annotate the delivery slip/handheld device.

    As for the envelope and contents...handle with care!

    Believe the Eir CEO was quoted saying GoMo wont be getting 5g in the distant future. Any thats gotten is most likely a cross of network bands.

    5G may be useful in some dense urban environments but it will probably be a long time before most can take advantage of it. The number of masts they will need because of the short range of 5G will make the roll-out slow.

    The network companies are waiting for the uptake of more and more 5G capable handsets to be produced and purchased before rolling out the high tech masks, selected counties around ireland with high population such as Dublin, Galway , Limerick and Cork will be some of the first counties to see a massive availability of 5g services

    Vodafone 4G was consistently 130 - 140 Mbps in my area.
    I still switched to GoMo, I don't need that much speed on mobile.

    Hi all,

    I got GOMO for the 2 rugrats and all was fine until this month's bill.

    What should have been an e20 bill mushroomed to an e60 bill.

    I checked the details and the rugrats had signed up to a premium text service.

    No info anywhere on how to block premium messages on GOMO.

    Texting PRSMSBAR to 50104 (the same as Eir) may work.

    I opened a call with GOMO and they have blocked premium messages on the 2 phone numbers.

    Is there no cap to the monthly bill to like €30?

    Actually side question a while back someone said they allow 4 sims per account from their twitter page, was curious if they raised the cap too.

    Yes there is, that's why the Rugrats were unable to bankrupt the OP :D

    2 x phones x 2 x Rugrats capped at €30 each = €60

    Are you sure about that? There's a constant flow of posts around boards of people getting scammed by those companies without ever subscribing to anything.

    There are also rules about age checks that those companies are obliged to follow depending on what the content of the service is.

    Have they admitted signing up to the service?

    5G is more about greatly increasing the data capacity overall, across all users, so caps can be higher or even no caps at all and potentially it could be used as a wired broadband replacement. Also much lower latency.

    However those benefits are harder to explain, which is why they push big speed increase numbers, which are easier to advertise and for the general public to understand, but in reality aren't that useful to them.

    No friends or family have her number? You don't have her number? There are thousands of apps that collect your saved contacts and send them off to advertiser's. Even Facebook collects your saved contacts. All you have to do is be in someone's phone who installed a free game or torch app or anything from a less than reputable vendor and then all your contacts get spam for life. Those face changing apps are notorious for it. One of them was even sending all your saved pictures to a random location in Russia.

    We're lucky we are in Ireland and not big enough for people to target. People in the US can be hit with stuff like this as much as 10 times a day.

    On the other hand mine have stopped since I moved to Gomo from Three and kept my number. It's possible some Gomo employee took a list of numbers to sell but it's really unlikely.

Will the Eir blocking number work.

    Log on to your account, click on Contact us, fill in the details and ask them to bar premium sms. They usually reply within a day to confirm.
