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

Stallingrad

Porting was set for this 9am this morning. Eir SIM died 9am sharp, stuck in the Gomo SIM, restarted and my number and everything seem to be working perfectly right away.

Could not have been any easier!

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?

Give the SIM to someone who wants it and get them to send €10 to your account every month?

Or, get a wireless router/modem that will take a SIM and put it into that for Internet at home?

All the best,

Just request cancellation of the second SIM

Give it to someone in need...

Can't. Need to keep the number to recieve occasional work related calls but won't be using it for anything else so no point in paying the tenner a month. From what I can gather, I can cancel the SIM by contacting GoMo but I'd assume that the number will continue and I'll be charged whatever the standard rates are if I wanted to make a call. I'll double check with them when the time comes.

To clarify, if you cancel the second SIM, it'll be disconnected, and you won't be able to use it at all.

If you need a number for occasional calls, just get a PAYG SIM from VF, 3, Tesco etc. Gomo isn't PAYG so to keep a number active requires paying 9.99 every month. If you just give the SIM away, you'll still have to pay every month...unless it's cancelled and then it's of no use to anyone.

Also, if you give away an active SIM, you'll be paying their usage bill for out of plan charges eg premium SMS, international calls etc

That doesnt seem to make sense. You need the number, but don't want to pay a tenner for it?

To have a number, you must have some sort of network connection... therefore you need to pay someone...

I am in a similar situation, ordered on 16th, no sim yet. Got a txt on 18th saying they are moving my port date to sync with delivery (no indication of what date though.... I had it as 23rd Oct with my initial order). I was on with chat yesterday enquiring about the delay and also confirmed there is no active porting request, to make sure my current service with VM is not suspended. You better clarify your case as you haven't got your SIM yet.

ordered 2 SIMS a few weeks ago with numbers ported from vodafone and both have been working seamlessly. One took 24 hours to allow outbound calling but beyond that very happy.

By the way, phoned Eir yesterday for some advice, spoke to two people after holding for ages, was told two different things, both wrong, went into an Eir shop last night and a very knowledgeable woman explained everything.

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

What is your source of this information? There is nothing, that I can see, on the BoI website about the need to re-authorise the ported number. The only reference that I can see is to changing ones number.

Is there a way to cancel my account without waiting for customer service to respond?

Hi guys, I took GoMo and the number will be ported next month, 12.11.19 (i did receive the SIM)
Will I be charged the monthly rate from 12.11 , or straightaway.

straightaway (from the date your gomo service was activated)

Technically yes, but you can go over that without charge. If you do exceed the 80GB they (GoMo) will simply throttle your speeds until the start of your next billing period which is the first of every month.

Example, if you exceeded the 80GB on the 25th of any month you would be on reduced speed until the 1st of the next month.

Of course it is. What other possible alternative were you thinking it could be?

Partner ported this morning. Number went dead at selected time, took about 15 mins for ported number to work on GOMO SIM. All working fine then.
