Curious as to the source of the APN posted in the FAQS on page 1

It states - data.mymeteor.ie

I asked the question through GoMo chat yesterday and they said the APN was data.myeirmobile.ie

Strange they would use a Meteor APN considering it's long since dead.

Doesn't seem to matter which is used going by some posts here.

gomo.ie/contact/

There's also a facebook page but I haven't looked at it.
Also @gomoirelandcare on Twitter which seems to give a reasonable response time.

Maybe it's because of the late hour, but I don't get what you are trying to say here. Why order a second sim & then don't want to pay for it?

Check you have an APN setup. It should automatically be there but not always.

No response so far, might have to complain to comreg

My iPhone was the same ported perfectly except the data - went onto boards typed in APN GoMo found the link for settings took about 10 seconds and working perfect. For €9.99 I’m still in shock that I can call who ever I want - surf and not have to worry about anything it’s seriously amazing! I had tested the sim for 5 days previous to porting my own number.

Shure I did that first but still no joy

Did you toggle flight mode on & then off?

So you are saying that you still have the same number you originally authenticated with (after porting it) & BOI won't accept it?

That would mean anyone changing providers will have to physically go to the bank to re-authenticate even though they didn't have to go there when they originally authenticated.

I wonder what others who ported who are with other banks experienced?

Any more info on this? I don't understand why this would need to happen

Good morning,
So when I saw the post by the Op I said its worth a try. Ordered my SIM and setup the account online. Money gone from my account immediately. 4-5 days later a mobile number appeared on the account and about 2 days later a SIM arrived. As it was the Bank Holiday weekend I decided to hold off porting my number across and set it up for 30 at 0715. Checked at 0730 and no signal on my old SIM, changed the SIM to the new GoMo and up and running. I did have a reason to contact them by email and was expecting to have to wait and wait for a reply, but surprised to get a reply within 10 mins and answered the question perfectly. I will now arrange to set the wife on another account.
Last year I was paying about €75 to two providers for two phones, next week it will be €20, that is not bad.
Tested the internet speed yesterday, 57.8 Mb down and 15.6 Mb up.
Hope this helps others with decisions....

I have ported over with my new Sim. I am on the right APN but I am not getting a connection to the internet. I can receive calls. I haven't tried making a call out yet. Any idea why I cant connect to the internet? I am using an Android operating system.

OS isnt a huge thing for connecting to the internet. Half the world is running wit hAndroid phone.
Make and type of phone might be of more importance.

Many pages back someone with a redmi 5 found out here why he couldnt get 4g at times for example.

Hello All,

Anyone out there with order on 16/10 but still haven't got their sim. I was able to contact chat yesterday who acknowledged the delay and said that shouldn't be the case, so promised a straight escalation. Technically it will be 10 working days now.
Not sure how they will bill for November, will they bill me from Nov 1st? They can't, can they?

Thanks

They won't let me log in now. It says my e-mail address is invalid. It was working two weeks ago.

No need to cancel anything with eir.
You'll start getting your invoices from gomo once you move number to them.
After you move number to gomo, you'll receive a final invoice from eir which will be paid by direct debit (in case there is anything due. Could be a refund as well)

FYI if you port over and bank with BOI you will have to get your number reauthorised for texting verification bit of a pita

I'm with BOI and am due to port over to Gomo.
How did you become aware that your number would need reauthorised?
And can any branch of BOI do it?

Anyone more info on this?

Seems to be just a BOI thing. Worst of the banks in Ireland imo.

I've got two SIMs on my account but in a couple of months I might need to just keep one alive (i.e. only use for recieving calls occasionally) so will only need to pay the €10 for one of the SIMs. Can anybody think of a solution for this unusual situation?

If you go into 'account details' on her online account it should have the original PIN and PUK details there.

I just used it there in the last 10 mnutes. Took about 5 minutes .
There was a lot of copy and paste in the replies.

I was told to leave phone off for 10 minutes and try again to see if port completed
