My number switched over last night perfectly. Weird seeing the 4g symbol on my phone, was always H before on Tesco Mobile. Everything works great, internet noticeably faster, delighted!

I got one of two SIMs delivered yesterday but it does not work - I was told to wait 24 hours, so maybe it will start working today.

I didn’t receive my Sim yet but if I decide to switch from Virgin do I need to give them 30 days notice in order to cancel? According to their website the procedure.

My number still hasn't ported from 48, nor has my wife's. It was supposed to happen at 6pm yesterday

Can you sign up without porting and then at a later stage, say about a month later when you are happy with the service, initiate a port?

willah · 19-10-2019 8:45am

Started port at 5pm Friday night and it just ported there at 8.30am Saturday morning. 4g signal in Dublin no problem.

My wife was supposed to port from Tesco but hasn't for 3 days, it's a joke. Been on to support who keep saying wait another 24 hours.

Yes. I ordered a SIM and then when it arrived kicked off the porting process via the website. Less than 4 hours later I was ported over. But you can wait a month if you want and then port.

Porting hours from Eir FAQ - I presume GoMo use the same.

Pay As You Go numbers will transfer within 2 business hours Monday to Friday 9am-7pm. Bill pay numbers with only one number on the account will transfer within 8 business hours Monday to Friday 9am-7pm. Bill Pay numbers with more than one number on the account will transfer within 24 hours Monday - Friday.

I saw someone on here mention about putting this sim into a router. Would it be faster for browsing than current 3 meg broadband to the house (all that's available down home)?

If it would be, could someone a router please?

Put it into a phone and test it out as a hotspot. It probably would be quicker than 3mb but it depends on a lot of things.

I've just tested GoMo again - got 52 down - I now conclude GoMo is better than what I had with eir since I only got 50 with eir last Tuesday

It's called "proof by induction".

Coverage pretty abysmal in Ashbourne. Coverage chart shows solid 4G...however reality is very different. Have tried Meteor APN as well as Eirmobile. Both equally pathetic.
1.2Mb download, 0.2Mb upload.

Also in Ashbourne, no network coverage in the house at all :mad:

Ordered tuesday evenin, its still "in progress" &#55357;&#56850;

Your wife messed up twice so stop blaming Eir

um7y1h83ge06nx · 19-10-2019 9:49am

My port is scheduled to happen at 1001 this morning.

I'm using my current Eir sim. When the port finishes will my connection to Eir completely drop?

I presume it does. Would save me swapping in and out Sims to check progress.

It'll drop and say emergency calls only on your lock screen

Did you try restarting the phones? Mine didnt show anything unti I rebooted it and then it came up sim not provisioned , so I knew it was time to put the new one in.
My provision time was 17:30 yesterday, rebooted around 17:35 and all grand.

Well it sort of works. Number ported, can receive SMS and calls, can use data but cannot send SMS or make calls as apparently I'm give over my credit limit.

SeamusFX · 19-10-2019 10:24am

Can you order an unported sim and port it over to your existing number after receiving it?

Yes you can schedule the port after

biggebruv · 19-10-2019 10:26am

I ordered the other day and choose Friday evening for the port still haven’t gotten a sim yet not a good start

September1 · 19-10-2019 10:26am

It seems that I have to wait for second SIM and only then both of them would become active. A bit annoying but I guess they are overwhelmed with orders, I wonder how soon they will reach 100k subscribers.

100k is still a massive number. They'll reach 10k easily in no time.

Why?

What day did you order?

It won't port till you actually have the SIM so no issues at all there.

Same here. Number ported fine this morning but can’t make calls or send messages. Receiving both fine.

Trying to call out I get automated message saying I’m “barred from making calls”.

Outgoing SMS gets me this:
“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!”

My wife ported her number at same time and all working perfectly... strange

Here's what the chat rep said:

"Hi xxxx, that issue is known. I will escalate this and get it sorted. Resolution forecast is 24 hours. Apologies for the inconvenience."

Haven't had credit issues since I was on prepay nearly 10 years ago. Odd to get this error on postpay.

Wife is due to port on Tuesday, I encouraged her to switch. She'll murder me if she has issues.

But why ask me to pick a time and day if they can’t stick to it.

I asked a family member to hang around the house that day and time cause I was expecting the sim

coolcreen · 19-10-2019 10:56am

I wish to buy a sim with a new number from GOMO and retain my present Vodafone number should the coverage with GOMO be unsatisfactory. We live in a mountainous area where coverage is poor.
Does anyone know if it is possible to port over a GOMO sim to my present Vodafone number after making a purchase of a GOMO sim with a new number? ........difficult question
