No doubt the other providers will come out with something to compete. Think I would much rather wait and see what they have to offer.

Like vodafone and their 1Gb data

Pretty poor alright. Saw that on the coverage map. Put me off signing up. I'm with eir for mobile broadband and I'm getting 20mb/s. Thought I'd get the same with gomo until I read this. Can see a lot of cancellations or complaints when people start using the service. Could be a case of another Tesco mobile Network, started so brightly and fell apart quickly

The postmobile 3G only would be faster than that. Having said that, those speeds would be fine for most.

I'm on eir regular prepay and you'll get 5-7Mb on 3G in most locations.

I'm with 48, I don't even get 4G so this is fine for me (I also have dual SIM and Vodafone as my second SIM)

Thanks, but that makes it sounds like they will increase prices after, say, 3-6 months after they've got us all on board. Did sound too good to be true...

No , they state it’s 9.99 for life.

It may be, but they didn't ask me for my passport or ID when signing up. Nor did I give it to them.

I don't use social media nor do I sign into Google on any device. I have mostly degoogled my phone. It's not perfect, but helps.
With all of the EU laws to stop data sharing and help us stay private, no way am I going to start paying a company while they do it.
I didn't mean to start a debate or derail the thread.

I'll step out now. Apologies to the OP and thanks for sharing. I'll keep an eye out for the next offer.

Most people aren’t paranoid like you and don’t care if they have to give ID. I’ve always had to give ID when signing up for bill pay services so I’d question your comment on saying you didn’t. Id be more surprised if I wasn’t asked for I’d as it’s a pretty normal and acceptable thing to be asked for and I (along with the vast majority of people) have no issue providing it.

Doesn't do direct debit using iban but recurring monthly charge to the credit/debit card you sign up with

Turbohymac · 15-10-2019 2:41pm

These are just regulatory commitments that they are legally required to publish.

I think they are mixing up Mbs and MBs.

Put the tinfoil down

fixXxer · 15-10-2019 2:44pm

Switch over completed. Using Eir at the moment so if its the same network for less I can live with that. As it's a rolling contract, its no hassle to switch at least.

fritzelly · 15-10-2019 2:44pm

Thanks OP
Signed up, was on eir prepay 20 a month so this is a bargain

skinny90 · 15-10-2019 2:50pm

signed up there using my revolut. been an eir/meteor customer for nearly a decade. checked for an upgrade and any device I want is 450+ upfront and on 40 euro+ a month.

make sense to try this out and just buy the device

I’ve been with eir for years, since back when it was eMobile and have had zero issue and paid far less than I would have with any of the other operators over that time.

Bluefoam · 15-10-2019 2:57pm

I've signed up... Can't see any negatives... I can make international & roaming calls via WhatsApp anyway.

Is it correct that data is throttled at 10mb/sec, or is that only if you exceed 80gb?

I came here to send this big warning sign for me and I'll be steering clear. Throttling of speed is how they are doing this for 9.99 thanks but no thanks. If it wasn't for the throttling I'd be all over this. You know what they say about deals appearing to be too good.

OK just read the links to max 4g speed three (which I'm currently on) but it doesn't make sense I get more than 10mb on 4g?

What's the deal with having to give your Passport number or PPS number?

Are you sure that they are asking for a PPS number ? This is illegal.

No, it's a new regulatory requirement from ComReg. For 4G services they have to advertise the speed as up to 10Mbps even if you can get more.

It's one of the options you have. Others include Driving Licence number, Passport number, etc.

Apparently all the operators (including Eir itself) have this stated on their websites.

Real world is different and sure we'll all found out soon!
