Got my sim yesterday. Only activated it today. Put it into a 4G router. Got 30mbps down and 18mbps up via speedtest.

What APN are you using in the router ?

Cheers

Same here. I haven't received my GOMO sim yet but my phone is not listed as supported by Eir, so I don't expect wifi calling to work for me. If it does, it's a bonus, as I've never had it before.

To be honest, Its not of any major interest to me either, it was just that I was messing about with the phone last evening and there was discussion of it here, and when I checked the option was there and it was automatically set to *enabled*.

I'm more interested in the Data part of the deal, and speeds for me are a mixed bag. At home its pretty terrible, at one of my work locations today though, I was getting 35/45 Mbs in the centre of town. I move around for work a bit,work out of 3 locations at the moment, and I find it handy to tether a laptop of my phone rather than logging into a clients network. My 3 sim seems better so far.

Is yours one of the phones listed here as being supported for wifi calling by Eir: https://www.eir.ie/support/smartphonehelp/?page=topic/wifi/how-to-enable-and-disable-wifi-calling/device ?

My sim should arrive soon will check also. iPhone 8 on iOS 13.1.3. One thing of note even Eir link says not supported on this phone and iOS version on Eir but it as I have it working as I type.

I'm in the West of Ireland and have both 3 and Meteor sims. Data coverage is generally better on 3 outside the towns.

My son who ordered at 6ish just got a mail, I ordered mine after 8 and I haven’t had a mail yet, so mine will probably be Monday now.

Hardtochoose

So at this point I’d have to advise people to avoid porting unless you’re accepting of the fact that if there’s an issue you’re basically stuck with zero help.
I can’t receive calls since porting. Chat have been useless and gave me an email address to contact. No reply from anyone at the email address. I’ll be switching back to my old provider tomorrow.

It's very clear - wifi calling is not available i.e. if your phone has the capability it won't work
Calling on apps will work e.g. whatsapp, google duo etc

People are confusing 2 different technologies

They've confirmed on Twitter that the don't currently support WiFi calling.
Maybe they do but don't realise it.......:D

Ordered mine around 1pm on Tues, still no sign of any progress but just noticed I set the port for the 22nd and not Monday
Maybe they are prioritising for when people are saying their port days should be
Just changed it to Monday, maybe it will get it posted tomorrow

I've never used WiFi calling..

So I am still getting more once it all works out...

Maybe it's working due to the legacy settings and they plan on removing it...?

Yeah, I use it down in County Galway when I'm down there, seems the best at a not unreasonable price.

Here in Dublin, it had improved substantially from about May until late Sept, I was getting mad speeds, up to 150Mbs, now its back to around 35/45Mbs.

Actually, I found the Gomo sim works better on 3G.

I actually have bad eir signal in my house in dublin 11, I have activated WiFi calling and it scrolls across my network bar when at home but my calls are still crap to my mam who is 6 doors down and also on eir.

It has never worked for me so I won’t miss it.
We WhatsApp call each other 99% of the time nowadays.

I'm wondering if they use the same SIM provisioning tool as Eir, and copied over the same settings?

punisher5112

I've had gob****es giving out to me for WiFi not working on the bus when it clearly has labels stating call such a number who 1 gives a fook and 2 I'm driving a bus not in control of WiFi so fook off.

Horses for courses I suppose. I find it great. I have poor coverage ar home and often missed calls. Not any more. I work a lot in hospitals, nursing homes, schools and often had poor or no coverage in them, mainly due to the types of buildings they are but WiFi calling sorted that.
I rarely answer calls on WhatsApp. The quality is generally poor.

It's hard to know. I'm just back from the RWC in Japan. I was warned about the cost of making calls out there and even receiving them. The Eir website says that WiFi calling is not supported while roaming..but it worked over there.

I ordered mine on Tue evening about 1740, got it this morning. Never set a port date.

Was in south Dublin this evening so did a speedtest there... good result compared to what I'm getting in Wicklow anyway.

I’d be surprised if you do. Normally your line rental (for want of a better word) is for the coming month and your out of contract charges are for the previous month.

If you look closely at your bill I bet it says your being billed for the coming month.

Oh yeah, thanks for that. I never noticed!

How did you change the porting date. My understanding is you can't do it till SIM arrives. At least that's what I was told in chat.

Ordered mine at 8:40pm Tuesday. Still nothing on MyGoMo As of right now. Talked to R......on Webchat this morning - “The service level is 5 days but yea, your sim was despatched already”. Talked to M..... on Webchat this evening - “The service level is 5 days so no, your sim hasn’t been despatched yet”

There was a time I’d have got cross, but now I just pity the poor things working in this high stress environment for a few bob more than the minimum wage.

Fortunately I didn’t select to port now. I’ll wait until the initial rush settles and they iron out the wrinkles before taking that step. It’s a great offer and I’m looking forward to saving €300pa.

The networks must be loosing a rake of customers this week

My guess is that these SIMs are doubled NAT'd so I dont know if you would be able to access it remotely. Or maybe the camera send the data out to a central server and you access it that way.

Double NAT would be very unusual unless you used SIM in a wifi router. However for most consumers their wifi cameras will use an app and will contact a 3rd party server (normally in china or AWS) to "Log in", this app & server will take care of establishing a connection to the camera so NAT (or even double NAT) shouldn't be an issue.

NAT would only be a problem if you are directly trying to access the camera via public IP address and port forwarding or some ONVIF app with similar settings. (ie where the camera doesn't reach out to a remote server)
