An Post Mobile

Is anybody else having problem with mobile data on PostMobile over the last week?

Not in rural areas, in small towns.

No service whatsoever.

I think the problem may be my APN settings.

I have two.

Vodafone live! live.vodafone.vom
Vodafone MMS mms.vodafone.net

Do I delete these or edit them?




This is from the Postmobile FAQs:

Android Data/MMS settings
1. Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names and delete all existing APN’s.
2. Create a new Internet APN with settings
Name: Postmobile
APN: isp.postfone.ie
MCC: 272
MNC: 01
APN Type: default, supl
Press Menu Key & Save

Sometimes for APN Typesetting you are only allowed choose from a list. If so, choose Internet or default.

Now 15 euro for porting your number over to postmobile or a new number 15 euro with 50gb data unlimited texts and calls

Thats the same deal? 'Unlmited' is subject to fair usage, which means 3000 mins and 3000 texts. Same for data, unlimited meant 50G.

It's not wen u ported over to postmobile on the previous deal it was free now its 15 euro

have they changed with the hot spotting as the son got a new post mobile sim does not hotspot he thought it was the phone so i put my postfone sim in his phone works perfect they must have changed to way it works with a new sim both phones are samsung a21s?

That's odd. Does he have enough credit? Could he be on a tariff that doesn't include data?

its coming up as he has 50gb data but won.t hotspot

Have this problem too since 04 May. Getting 17kbps when Hot-spotting. Lucky to have mi' ol Tesco still pumping.

DID change APN Type from Default to DUN. Didn't help.

I just got a new phone literally the other day, so I've just checked, my hotspot gone again, APN is the one sent by pistmobile, so I deleted 'supl', put in 'dun', that done the trick on samsung s9. Hotspot up and running.

Checked and my hotspot still working fine. No Dun required.

Maybe just deleting supl is sufficient, just leave default. It's not clear how the protocols affect connectivity, other than dun is a legacy protocol to make the phone serve like a Dial Up Network, which is sort of what tethering is.

I can post here , using hotspot, but fast.com says 52Kbps

A possible workaround for hotspot problems is WiFi direct. It's a peer to peer protocol for connecting devices over WiFi without an access point.

One of the devices generates it's own SSID that the other device sees as an access point but it's not the normal hotspot SSID.

Whereas hotspot is a hierarchical protocol, WiFi direct is peer to peer....a bit like Bluetooth but with WiFi speeds.

Whether it works as hoped might depend on hardware. It's in the advanced menu in WiFi settings in android. Both devices need to support it (unfortunately iOS doesn't support WiFi direct).

For anyone with hotspot problems, is Bluetooth or USB tethering working? Have you an older Android (<7) to see if hotspot problem remains?

PM may well say they don't support hotspot but actively blocking it is a different issue.....IMO it warrants a formal complaint....even if Comreg probably won't do much about it.

PM put a notice on the data settings page that indicated they were working on getting iPhone hotspot working....they never said they were going to break Android hotspot....

My settings are default, supl

I assume people are trying to hotspot the phone 4g network data, not the phones Wi-Fi connection data. Try turning off phone Wi-Fi before turning on hotspot. After all. If your WiFi is OK, you wouldn't need to hotspot to another device.

IME hotspot and wifi can't operate simultaneously on android....activate one and the other deactivates.

I don't think that's true. You can share the phones's Wi-Fi on it's Hotspot, it's called WiFi sharing.

Is that via the icons on the main pull down menu or via WiFi settings?

IME, if using the pull down menu, WiFi on turns hotspot off and vice versa.

On a different topic, the Vodafone/Postmobile network has Voice over LTE capability, basically using your LTE data connection for crystal clear voice calls instead of the GSM voice channel. If your phone has 'VoLTE Calls' setting in 'Connections/Mobile Networks', turn it on and try it. I just upgraded my phone, S7 to an S9, and it has this setting, supported by Vodafone. During a power failure when I called ESB, the clarity of the bot's voice was amazing, I'm so used to stuttery mobile sound quality response when my power/voip landline is down.

What's the story with UK and NI roaming? Is it considered EU in terms of allowance?

hello
i ported over this morning to anpost from vodafone , cant seem to set up my voicemail 171 , anyone know why?
problem resolved its working now

ha anyone put an post mobile sim into a 4G router and used it as mobile broadband?

It's for mobile use, not broadband, &#55357;&#56904;&#55357;&#56905;

So you can't get data on your phone?

I’m sure you can but the 50GB FUP is a bit limiting to be using it in that way

But there would be plenty of reasons for doing so even with the limit.

How long does it take to port over when you purchase a sim in the post office?

Mine took 20 minutes the other day to port over to postmobile after bin in the post office

Anyone know if post mobile still do addons, like vodafone where you can buy 5gb add on for 5e, etc. I know they did previously, but can't find any info now!?

Login to myPostmobile.ie, topup/quick topup, or
https://www.anpost.com/Mobile/Top-up-Online
then select topup amount, 0.5, 1, 3 or 6.5 Gb, for €3, 5, 10 or €20 respectively. Far better to to just topup by €15, to restart your bundle, effectively 50Mb for €15, at least that's what it implies. "Top up amount:
Bundle will be applied with top up where applicable"

If I have put 15 euro on it and put another 15 euro on nothing happens till the monthis up then your 15 euro is taken for the new month

And if your 50GB is used up before the existing month is up, does it just leave you without Data till the start of the new month even if you topup by €15? Seems odd. €15 will only buy 4Gb of topup data,

5eur buys 5gb addon on Vodafone, which is much better, price wise, this is a great addon if u dont want/need unlimited calls and texts, every month, and your a relatively light data user, just buy 5gb for a fiver and your sorted for 28days,

How would you be sorted for 28 days? You would still have to topup with a minimum of £20 (cheapest Vodafone PAYG plan), when your plan 28 days expired, the data topup doesn't extend this, else we'd all just top up every 28 for a fiver to keep our phone alive. 5Gb would be more than I'd use in a month, great if I could get a plan for this for €5 per 4 weeks.
