    She may need to change her settings in the SIM toolbox

    I found these settings worked in spain

    If she is on the ireland plus plan her calls to Irish mobiles and Landlines are included

    Did the data network go down from about 21:00 - 08:00 this morning ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 15 windyout


    Gave them a try and never again. If they can't afford to support the service they provide at the (albeit low) price they charge then they just shouldn't bother or should offer a plan they can afford to support.

    There's too much competition at this price point to put up with a network that thinks an offshore call centre empowered to do precisely nothing is sufficient. Eir (good social plan, ****e service), Vodafone (good value now that X is open to all and decentish service from Egypt) and Three (great value for heavy data users in select areas that don't get throttled to virtually nothing and if you don't need help that goes off the script),

    My advice to anyone considering moving to Lyca is to run , then run a little faster and then keep running

    :) I couldn't agree more. I've never experienced support like it (and I'm no spring chicken). When I eventually had enough and tried to leave I had an ordeal trying to get my number back.

    I don't care how cheap they are run a mile because if you ever have to call their support you'll regret having ever heard of them.

    Daughter just landed in France and got this message.

    Is it this price even if she has Ireland Plus plan?

    What was the ordeal you had trying to get your number? Did you not just go to the new provider and tell them you would like your number ported over?

    Whilst in France she is treated the same as being in Ireland except for data cap. Her calls to Ireland are included but to call any other eu country are the rates in the text

    I'm in a complaints process with them so i won't say too much. Yes, you're correct. It should be that simple. Alas it wasn't.

    for US a dual sim phone and use the three uk sim deal - available from mymemory for the US is the best solution

    https://www.mymemory.co.uk/brands/3.html

    (see items with "free roaming")

    Is anyone else experiencing extremely slow mobile data. All family members here are having problems in Meath.
    15 quid for 25GB data is a good price if the network is fast but it's unuseable for us at the moment.

    Seems they're upping it to 50GB for the Ireland Plus package.



    https://www.lycamobile.ie/en/bundle/ireland-plus/


    National S up from 1GB to 5GB too, All in One M 35 -> 70.


    Might explain the slowdown :)

    yes. I'm finding it pretty much unusable at the moment.

    both the latency (ping of over 300ms) and speed has gone to sh1t

    Dublin

    possibly a change by three to lower the priority on lycamobile even further

    large data allowances are rubbish if you can't use it

    the ping value is making things worse than the speed really as a lot of apps won't work at all due to such a high value - should be 80/90 max to work ok really

    My ping is around 300ms but speed is better today back up to around 9M ...maybe they've fixed the issue hopefully. My package is about to expire. Not sure whether to stay with them or not now. Any other good deals out there?

    Do you have to have your broadband with eir to get that deal?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,742 ✭✭✭DopeTech


    Do you have to have your broadband with eir to get that deal?

    No, but if you do have eir broadband or sign up for it now you get the mobile deal for €9.99 instead of €14.99


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,557 ✭✭✭Fingers Mcginty


    Speeds gone to pot again and zero help from lyca mobile ...time to move.


  • Registered Users Posts: 97 ✭✭extrapolate


    Has anyone found out what the issue is? My data suddenly went downhill as well and hasn't come back, over a week now. Is there any way to get a solve with them or is it a known problem they're working on? Would it be any use calling them?

    don't bother calling them as you'll get through to a call centre in India or wherever it is.

    go to lycamobile ireland on facebook and send them a message or post a reply to one of their posts.
