GoMo to end €9.99 per month for life offer [Now €12.99]

mrmorgan · 05-12-2019 12:25am

I hear people are having awful problems with them

Frank_1969 · 05-12-2019 12:32am

May have been covered previously,but has anyone exceeded the 80gb per month data allowance..If so,were you billed extra or did they slow down the speed?
Thanks

thenightrider · 05-12-2019 12:38am

Have they sorted out the issue with receiving calls from Vodafone customers?

A lot of people on the Vodafone network can not ring people on Gomo.

Limits will be enforced and data will be reduced to an effectively unusable speed. Limit is very generous anyways, so only those misusing the service will potentially go over it.

Got two calls yesterday from mobiles to my Vodafone that showed up as +353 1 59.....

Gomo?

tommycahir · 05-12-2019 8:56am

Signed up and ordered tuesday morning, had the sim card delivered at 2pm yesterday afternoon and ported over from virgin mobile at 5:45.. (had requested 5:05 but slight delay not a big deal)

Overall happy with service poor 4g in house but have wifi here to compensate for that..

aristotle25 · 05-12-2019 9:05am

Signed up myself, wife and my two parents saving us all over €80 per month in total.

Overall it is working great. A few issues getting one of them ported over from Three but eventually got that to happen. And a few small issues with my iPhone initially where facetime\imessage wouldnt work but got that sorted too.

I know GoMo support is email\message only but it has worked ok for me, I find they are as helpful as any other crowd, be it broadband, electricty, gas or whatever.

Probably the driver calling through the Free Now App or similar taxi booking app which may be routed from a standalone number so as not to give out his personal number.

ordered sims Tuesday, arrived today. Will try porting tonight

Before porting:
1. Compare the phone number of the SIM card received with the number on your GoMo online account.

2. Satisfy yourself that the GoMo signal strength meets your requirements.

I ordered Tuesday aswell and got the SIMs this morning. I have already ported one of the SIMs from eir without a problem.

I just did a speed test of the 4G connection and I'm getting 43.0 Mbps down, 12.8 Mbps up which is pretty much the same as I was getting in previous tests I have run from my location

dos30 · 05-12-2019 4:23pm

I'm currently in contract with tesco mobile for my phone.
Could I order a sim and use it in another device and then when my contract expires in October port my number to the gomo sim?

Yes. But:
1. You would be paying 9.99 per month until then for that service (the GoMo) number.
2. The "other device" would need to be network unlocked.

kaji · 05-12-2019 5:18pm

How do you guys set up your voicemail for GoMo? My phone keeps alerting me that I don't have voicemail set up. I ported my number to GoMo.

micks_address · 05-12-2019 5:54pm

Tried to port one number there. We have three numbers on same eir account. So I'd pick post pay multi line registered?

Tried single line and it failed to port.

Lads, is there anyway to bar premium texts on gomo like you could on eir?

You need to go to chat to do so.
I did it for my kids and wife.

blade1 · 05-12-2019 8:46pm

If I put a gomo sim in my Eir hotshot will it show the usage like it does with the Eir SIM?

The first time I called 171 (pressed the voicemail button on iPhone) it prompted me to set it up.

Post pay multi line is correct.
It can take longer on multi lines.

I done 3 this week on single lines and all ported within 5 mins of the selected time. I then done the 2 on my account from Eir and it took 12 hours.

fryup · 05-12-2019 11:45pm

i'm using it for home broadband....but strictly speaking its not meant for that is it?

do you think they'll clamp down on that?

Well they do allow tethering apparently, but once you hit that 80gb you probably won't work properly...

Probably should get two Sims

80GB wouldn't last too long if using it on laptops and a smart tv using Netflix or Prime, especially if there's more than one person using it.

Nedved85 · 06-12-2019 9:46am

Hi all, I'm on an eir sim only plan. Thinking of moving to gomo. If I choose to port my number, do I need to contact eir to end my current plan or will the port to gomo terminate the plan automatically? I'm happy enough to pay for the notice period of 30 days.

You won’t need to contact Eir, porting will automatically cancel your Eir account and you’ll also receive a refund from Eir from cancellation date to end of your billing cycle in due course.

It all depends on your location on the map, physical building makeup and phone hardware.
See past few posts for the variance.

Source?

Any increase in data or international calls in the new package?

In Italy, iliad, which has the same owner as Eir, increased their price by 2 euro a month, after the expiry of the initial offer, but increased the data allowance and included international calls to 50 countries.

Well if you have a sim already, then you are already paying €9.99, so yes.
