Maybe they should have a warning on the porting page so that if you select the wrong option you'll be waiting at least 3 days and get told the wrong thing by their support a number of times?

She hasn't been told the wrong thing. She provided GoMo with inaccurate information twice (albeit by mistake).

Did you read the post? I didn't blame them for that obviously.

I'm not expecting a refund! I'd like to use the credit but it's hard to spend €80 in one go!

Sign up now but don't port until you have the credit spent.

Thank you for joining GoMo! We're working through GoMo orders and to make sure your number doesn't move before you get your SIM, we've moved your number move date to sync with delivery. We'll let you know once your SIM is on its way and we'll text you the day before your number is due to move. If the new move date doesn't suit you can reschedule at

Got the same text message

So when they said it would take 24 hours and it didn't, that was the right thing? What's the extreme difficulty exactly?

My contract isn't up until the 26th of November. I can only choose to port as late as the 17th of Nov. Would it be possible to change the port date once signed up? I'm afraid i will lose out on the 9.99 deal if i don't act quick.

You will not lose out on the deal. It's going to take a long time to get 100,000 people on board, if they ever even reach that number

If you have a windows PC & Android phone, they have an app that allows you to send SMS from your PC & see photos on your PC that are stored on your phone... It's a very simple app & much better tha webtext... particularly with unlimited text bundles.

What is the name of the app please.

Sign in to My GoMo and look for a tab on the right hand side of the page.

It's because you're going to get the SIM straight away and it's active with a different number. The porting is handled separately. You'll have an active GoMo account once the SIM arrives, just with a new number.

thanks, the penny has dropped the sim is active the minute you sign for sim..

If like me you have a shedload of 3 credit built up from PAYG then consider texting it all to charity before you switch, loads of options here:

My sim was attempted to be delivered on Wednesday. I was at work, so I switched the delivery address. It still hasn't moved from the local sorting office. Would I be able to pop up and collect it even after the delivery address change?

Chat told me to turn off iMessage and you also need to make sure ''your number'' is the ported number showing under accounts for iMessage etc.

Did you get sorted?
This would be the biggest worry for me personally too.
