Eir GoMo - €9.99/month SIM only (unlimited calls, texts and 80GB data, 10Gb EU Roam

is_that_so · 15-10-2019 1:41pm

Have this without the fancy name. Price after after 12 months. Happy with it and no danger of hitting local limits.

turniphead · 15-10-2019 1:41pm

I've signed up. It's a 30 day rolling contract so if it turns out to be a bad service then just give your notice and walk away. For €9.99 per month it's certainly worth trialling.

Murof · 15-10-2019 1:42pm

Moaners and whingers everywhere. Don't like it, don't sign up. Signed up myself, it's just as easy to switch back.

Thanks, OP.

Now how to get rid of €50 in existing call credit at Three....

Threepay allow you to use your credit as a form of google pay, i buy ebooks via google play store with unused credit each month

Some people mightn't realise that even if you leave them, your data is still being used by them and shared. Worth knowing before they go to sign up. Nobody moaning.

I just think that is an important bit of information that people should be aware of before signing up.

I didn't. They couldn't pay me enough to sign up. Their politician-like answers about who they share with too... Avoiding the question that they wrote. Even the list of who they share with doesn't yet exist. They could say they trust anyone. Nice earner for them.
Definitely nothing to do with a deterrent for criminals or scammers.

I'd be very surprised if the same/similar wording isn't in the data policies for Eir, Vodafone and 3.

If you use social media, Google, Apple etc then they already have your data and probably a lot more of it.

That's who i'm moving from. Never had a problem with them but more data with this crowd.

15-10-2019 1:48pm

There's also a box that you don't check if you don't want any mails by them or others.

It may be, but they didn't ask me for my passport or ID when signing up. Nor did I give it to them.

I don't use social media nor do I sign into Google on any device. I have mostly degoogled my phone. It's not perfect, but helps.
With all of the EU laws to stop data sharing and help us stay private, no way am I going to start paying a company while they do it.
I didn't mean to start a debate or derail the thread.

I'll step out now. Apologies to the OP and thanks for sharing. I'll keep an eye out for the next offer.

Fair enough, but I would have thought '9.99 for life' when its actually '9.99 for between one month-life' is pushing even loose advertising standards a bit surely?

Yup, I agree.
it's like 'unlimited broadband'
Bullsh1te!

Pacifico · 15-10-2019 1:53pm

I assume the 9.99 activation cost does not include the 1st month service?!

And if the competitors have a better offer i will switch to that.

Would this sim work in a GSM wifi router?

Seems like excellent value at 9.99 for 80 gb

No. Plus sign up now and you only get to the end of the month.

They did if you have a bill pay service tho, PAYG doesn't carry a Kyc requirement.

Google play store allows you to select carrier billing as a payment option for 3 on checkout.
If memory serves there is a €30 per month limit but it's a handy way to get value for credit. Can also be used to subs like spotify

Pretty poor alright. Saw that on the coverage map. Put me off signing up. I'm with eir for mobile broadband and I'm getting 20mb/s. Thought I'd get the same with gomo until I read this. Can see a lot of cancellations or complaints when people start using the service. Could be a case of another Tesco mobile Network, started so brightly and fell apart quickly

The postmobile 3G only would be faster than that. Having said that, those speeds would be fine for most.

I'm on eir regular prepay and you'll get 5-7Mb on 3G in most locations.

The high horse brigade · 15-10-2019 2:13pm

I'm with 48, I don't even get 4G so this is fine for me (I also have dual SIM and Vodafone as my second SIM)

Most people aren’t paranoid like you and don’t care if they have to give ID. I’ve always had to give ID when signing up for bill pay services so I’d question your comment on saying you didn’t. Id be more surprised if I wasn’t asked for I’d as it’s a pretty normal and acceptable thing to be asked for and I (along with the vast majority of people) have no issue providing it.

Doesn't do direct debit using iban but recurring monthly charge to the credit/debit card you sign up with

Switch over completed. Using Eir at the moment so if its the same network for less I can live with that. As it's a rolling contract, its no hassle to switch at least.

fritzelly · 15-10-2019 2:44pm

Thanks OP
Signed up, was on eir prepay 20 a month so this is a bargain

skinny90 · 15-10-2019 2:50pm

signed up there using my revolut. been an eir/meteor customer for nearly a decade. checked for an upgrade and any device I want is 450+ upfront and on 40 euro+ a month.

make sense to try this out and just buy the device

I’ve been with eir for years, since back when it was eMobile and have had zero issue and paid far less than I would have with any of the other operators over that time.

Bluefoam · 15-10-2019 2:57pm

I've signed up... Can't see any negatives... I can make international & roaming calls via WhatsApp anyway.

Is it correct that data is throttled at 10mb/sec, or is that only if you exceed 80gb?

I came here to send this big warning sign for me and I'll be steering clear. Throttling of speed is how they are doing this for 9.99 thanks but no thanks. If it wasn't for the throttling I'd be all over this. You know what they say about deals appearing to be too good.

OK just read the links to max 4g speed three (which I'm currently on) but it doesn't make sense I get more than 10mb on 4g?

No, it's a new regulatory requirement from ComReg. For 4G services they have to advertise the speed as up to 10Mbps even if you can get more.

It's one of the options you have. Others include Driving Licence number, Passport number, etc.

Apparently all the operators (including Eir itself) have this stated on their websites.

Real world is different and sure we'll all found out soon!
