damien · 2019-10-15 10:16:56

Eir are bringing out a new offering called GoMo at 1130am today. It's a new mobile virtual network. All you can eat data (really 80GB) for €9.99 a month for the first 100k customers. Calls, texts and all that jazz. 10GB EU roaming data too. You can use it as a hot spot. 30 day rolling contract too. Still waiting to check…

It’s been said many times in this thread but I’ll repeat for confirmation.
I was onto Eir today to give my 30 day notice as I’m on a 30 day sim only plan. They told me I don’t have to give notice as the request from GoMo to take your number will act as cancellation and I’ll receive a bill for balance after that.

Possible to change the time we port our number? Not seeing a section for it on the website.....
Just in case the SIM doesn't arrive in time.

Order is still pending, but number porting is for tomorrow evening. Not really critical anyways, I have another phone number I can use.

They also say that they own your number in the terms and conditions.
This is, and never was, charged by eir

No, but it means they are perfectly entitled not to refund you for the portion of the month you've paid for after your termination date.

Firstly I'm not tech savvy but my wife went into the local Eir shop in Cork to day to enquire about this offer. They told her it would cost €14 to unlock her phone, she is with Vodafone and they weren't sure if she could re use her existing number is that correct

Anybody who has received their SIM got a speed test result with full 4g reception, this is my result on Vodafone

My SIM arrived today so got my side by side results

GoMo with 4 bars of 4G

Vodafone with 5 bars of 4G

It will be interesting to see GoMo with full reception but it's fast enough for anything I'm likely to be doing.

Can't imagine there being issue with her keeping her number, unless someone else is aware of one.

Is this a no brainer for me if I usually pay around €10 every 1.5 months on a PAYG deal with Eir. They do give me 60mb data allowance for 14 days every time I top up:P

That's not much at all but contact VF and they may unlock it for free (if had it long enough)

Once over €150 has been spent with Vodafone on bills, Vodafone should unlock it free of change.

I've always been pre pay. Currently with eir.

But if I sign up with this offer, will I be charged to unlock my phone if I change my mind and go back to pre pay with eir?

There’s a message when ordering now that they’ve been very busy and delivery could take 5 days. I can definitely see them hitting 100,000 this week or next. 5 in my immediate family alone have signed up.

Ordered yesterday late afternoon and still showing as processing but now have a 085 phone number showing on my account along with a sim pin and puk number.

Guess I’ll have the sim in the next day or so. Does it just activate itself on the requested day and time?

Those reported speeds are more than fine, bummer for all the naysayers saying it's only 10Mbs - certainly makes it a viable option for those running a BB router off sim

Really no point in limiting your speed as you just clog up the network for longer impacting everyone else.
