    Think the accounts are done by mobile numbers, so you can only have one per account/phone number/email. But shouldn't be a problem to set him up with another SIM card/email. If you refer/"recruit" him too you should also both get a month free - speaking of which, all of you in the thread should be referring each other to get the most out of this. I've just updated the referral thread with my link - you should all use/update this for SIMs to get free months on top of the decent price.

    I am with 48 since the start too. You get what you pay for in my opinion with them.
    I have always found the internet slow when using mobile data but i think it may have been upgraded recently.
    Signal can be a little patchy at times but same with them all.
    Im still happy with it though as its been 10 euro a month for 6 years with not one cent extra taken or overcharged etc.

    Got the dispatch email for free sim. Got my iPhone unlock code yesterday so will pop the new sim in when it comes to unlock. My Vodafone plan doesn't run out for 2 weeks, can I test the new sim in the phone at home/work to see signal and then decide a couple of days after to move my number to that sim or do you have to activate it immediately?

    I also read you can stack memberships- can I pay say 30 euro and not have to worry about topping up for 3 months??

    What's the site like for checking out data used, minutes etc? (Interface /navigation)

    I am on 48months.ie "The Don" package for €20.

    For that I get

    20GB data (4G)
    1000 mobile minutes
    60 landline minutes
    Unlimited Whatsapp (not taken from data allowance)
    Free SMS (there is a charge for MMS)

    I confirmed with them that the 300 minutes they have reduced both packages too, is for both landline and mobile calls, and that whatsapp is now taken from data allowance.

    I see the option to switch minutes for data, but not the other way around. I don't see an option to buy an Add-On for more minutes, either.

    I think I'll stay with my legacy plan for another while yet. I don't need 40GB data, but I think reducing from 1060 minutes per month to 300 is a lot.

    Just click the app and it's all there on front page.

    Well, app is being updated at that min.

    Good app though.

    Is it possible to swap minutes for extra EU roaming data?

    awww crap!! Thought I could use it as a backup sim for text confirmations etc without subscribing!

    Yep, think so, the sim I got (which I haven't yet opened) says it's just included.

    Is it necessary to explicitly cancel with 48 if switching the number away to another provider? The in-laws are switching to Virgin, as the availability of phone support is worth the fiver a month extra.

    Ordered my second sim last Tuesday, received an email late Friday night to say it was on it's way. Not sure if it's for first or second order! Hopefully will have it tomorrow.

    How are they even managing orders? Presumably it's staff working from home?

    Received my sim this morning after getting a dispatch notification late Friday night.

    Ported number, straight forward - took about 10 mins. 4g speeds seem to be hovering between 45-55mb at the moment!

    Received sim a couple of days ago and activated free data. Very poor speed at home, out and about not too bad but not on par with vodafone

    Can't make calls but it does pick up calls every where Vodafone does.

    I'm out in the sticks in the Midwest area, still not decided if I'll port over or not. Use WiFi at home so data speeds there not vital.

    Sim arrived before I went to work. I was in testing on 2 dual sim devices.Redmi Note 5 and Redmi 8

    Note 5:
    Vodafone Galway city centre
    D:119. U:80
    48.ie
    D:70. U:40

    Vodafone ,Galway county east(Athenry,Loughrea)
    D:6.8. U:0.78
    48.ie
    D:22.13 U: 3.13

    Redmi 8:
    Vodafone Galway city centre
    D:109 U: 77
    48.ie
    D:80. U:33

    All results In Mbps with Ookla speedtest app.

    Could not believe speed with Vodafone was so $hite even when I had 4G+ on my phone at work.Will port over my kid after work for sure and the rest when our Vodafone bundle expire

    This is ridiculous. It keeps telling me I can't order a SIM because I'm outside Ireland.

    I've tried on:
    - via broadband
    - via broadband with Irish VPN
    - mobile on wifi
    - mobile (on Three!)

    And in incognito mode on all of them.

    Is their site just knackered? This isn't very confidence inspiring

    I had the same issue on Virgin Media wifi, I had to go on mobile data (GoMo) to get it to work. Seems like their geo-IP detection is messed up.

    Only thing I can think of is find someone with a different mobile connection and hot-spot off their phone?

    Cheers, I know some of the old UPC IPs show up as being in Holland, so figured that might be it.

    But if they're owned by Three, and they can't recognise Three mobile data as being in Ireland, think I'll steer clear.
