    If I order a SIM card will I be able to use the card in a sim operated router box?I don’t need to port my number. Will be using it for internet access only.

    I think that’s been positively confirmed within the thread a fair few times now (i know there are a lot of pages)

    You've reached your account credit limit, you won't be able to go out of bundle until after your next billing date. To speak to our chat team or view our faqs go to www.GoMo.ie. That's it!

    From Q&As

    "We have an out of bundle cap of €30. This means you can spend up to €30 on charges that are not included in your bundle. This includes Premium Rate Services such as 1890/1850 numbers, any non-standard text messages, Roaming over the EU cap, roaming outside the EU and international calls and texts. We have this limit to protect our customers. If you receive this message, you will not be able to incur any more out of bundle charges until after your next bill".

    BTW from December 1, call to 1850, 1890, 0818 or 076 numbers will cost no more than the cost of calling a landline number (i.e. will be in bundle and so free).

    People who ordered before 8pm on Tuesday should have their sim by now, I am only basing this on the fact that son 1 ordered his at 5pm on Tuesday, he got his sim yesterday, son 2 ordered his after 7pm Tuesday, he got his this morning and I ordered mine around 8.30pm and I have yet to receive mine yet :)

    I ordered mine at 20:39 on Tuesday. Got an e-mail from An Post a few minutes ago saying that my SIM had been despatched. Hopefully you should be getting the same.

    Hi,
    Currently an Eir customer on their 9.99(6 month intro offer) ->(15.99 it think soon) 30 rolling contract.
    Am based in Galway city and my data usage is usually 1Gb per month, the odd youtube video, mainly download a podcast and Guardian live blog.


    Is there anything I should be aware of before porting my current Eir number over? Seems like a fine price - just nervous its too good to be true.

    I was looking at some part of the GoMo documentation yesterday (I can’t remember where) and there was a reference to Ion. It struck me at the time that GoMo had done a cut and paste and forgotten to change the name. Based on your post my guess is that it could be a sister company and they are using some shared infrastructure.

    Are you sure that they will be included in bundles as it just says they will be charged at the cost of calling a landline?

    Certain - this has been 2 years in preparation and well flagged by COMREG. Some mobile operators are already communicating. This is from COMREG's site

    ComReg has introduced two measures designed to address the cost of using such numbers and also tackle confusion among consumers about the differences between the numbers. The changes being introduced by ComReg are:

    Geo-linking Condition: from 1 December 2019, a call to an 1850, 1890, 0818 or 076 [VOIP calls] NGN [non geographic numbers] will cost no more than the cost of calling a landline number. This means that if landline calls are included in your “bundle of call minutes” then NGN calls will also be “in bundle”. No separate charge will apply for any NGN call (unless you have used up your bundle of call minutes).

    NGN Consolidation: From January 1 2022, the five NGN ranges will be reduced to two. The 1850, 1890, 076 ranges will be withdrawn and the 1800 (Freephone) and 0818 range will remain. This 3 year period is to allow organisations that use NGNs time to prepare.

    So from December, 1850, 1890, 0818 and 076 call will be included in the unlimited GoMO bundle.

    The ComReg document linked to in post 1391 is pretty clear about this.

    Did you try turning the phone off and on or turn on and off flight mode.

    Apparently, porting is always risky at the weekends for some reason. It may well be different with GoMo as everything seems to be more automated with their porting process.

    Ha, I just checked my emails and I ordered at 20:59 on Tuesday evening, and no I didn’t get an An Post dispatch email tonight, I’m not to bothered as I’m an eir customer so I know full well what to expect. Tuesday or Wednesday next week will suit me fine.

    Just thinking the other possibility is that Ion was a dummy name, used pre launch.

    For anyone curious on what happens if you go above the 80GB fair usage limit, they will throttle your connection speed which "varies depending on how the network is but it could go down to 200Kb" according to their support team.

    May depend on your phone but look for access point (name) under the mobile network config setting

    My sim came next Day after ordering. I originally had it planned to port over next week, but since it arrived fast I could select to port over from the online account.

    The safety net of pay as you go could stop you calling an expensive number ect and no Extra charges.

    I take it I can call any number with this and if it's not Irish I'd pay extra on my top of my 9.99 bill?

    Unless I'm reading it wrong you could be charged up to max €30 extra each month if you are calling for example premium numbers - so not exactly prepay methodology

    Edit for billing T&C
    Usage & connection issues
    I have just received a message on insufficient credit on my account?
    We have an out of bundle cap of €30. This means you can spend up to €30 on charges that are not included in your bundle.

    Which is good, how many horror stories do you hear of people getting bills for 100's of euro due to roaming charges

    Hi,
    currently trying to switch to GoMo, it is asking me for current account number.

    So I have Home landland/ Eir fibre and rolling 30 day contract on mobile all with Eir - I logged onto my account and I only have one account number.

    Is this the number I input? I don't want to mess anything up with my landland/Eir fibre just porting my mobile to GoMo.
