Asked to be ported this morning from Virgin Media. Am on the GoMo network but my number from Virgin Media hasnt ported?

Does it take a couple of hours for the number to port?

I am waiting since 8.30am Saturday morning when my VM sim stopped working. My own number hasn't ported and no one can call me since Saturday morning.

I ordered last Wednesday at 12.
On my account I kind now, I can see the 2 numbers assigned to my account, pins and PUK.

I can also see the port date.

I haven’t received the sims yet (unless they came in todays post).

Just to give others an idea on time frames.

I ordered last week, my account says in progress, at least they delayed the number port, as I had wanted to port it today.

I suppose all we can do is wait and hope there is a huge back log which will eventually be sorted!

Anyone else having an issue verifying their email? I ordered a sim last week, forgot to verify my email after making an account, went to do it today and everytime I click the link it just takes me back to the email confirmation page which asks me to put in my email address to send a verification code

The verification code is only valid for 12 hours. You need to submit your email address so that they can issue a new verification code.

Scheduled from VM to GoMo for 9am and I'm now ported. My phone was showing connection still to VM, but turning the phone to airplane mode on for 10 seconds and back on showed a disconnect. Just a matter of putting the GoMo sim card in then and it worked straight away.

Probably asked numerous times already but can someone provide a link to theor live chat please...... cheers

There is no live chat available 24/7 at present, email only.

It's a chat pop up box that appears when they have staff to manage it but at present they are so busy so the chat box isn't appearing.

Have you made any calls? I thought mine had gone through until I called people and the 085 number came up.

When you login to my.gomo.ie the Chat Tab should appear on the right hand edge of your screen.

Myself and OH both signed up the day the deal went live and received our sims in Friday's post. Both changed our moving date to Saturday, no hassle. His move was instantaneous, mine took about 10 mins no issues. Very happy with it so far.

Looking through their FAQ:

Your port will take up to 24 hours to complete from the date and time you selected. If your number doesn’t port after 24 hours, please contact us here

But if you are waiting since Saturday morning?? Maybe they mean a working day 24 hours??

I am still hopeful!

Just got SIM card today, ported now and only getting speeds of 5mbps down and 0.6 up

This is in Dublin 4. Was previously Eir prepay customer also and speeds were way faster in same office.

Is there possible issues with it due to tonnes of people signing up or maybe it's just slow today?

Aquos76

My speeds this morning in two different locations in Waterford, the slower one is 3G

Would anyone guess if Eir will charge calls to GoMo sim same as VF etc?

My aunt is with Eir 100 mins only and now 10 of the people she calls on Eir to Eir mobile, for free have moved to GoMo Ive tried to convince her to move but says the deal sounds to good to be true.:cool:

Aquos76

Get her to make a call and see, when meteor was around calls to eir and meteor were treated as the same and were included ok.

I signed up to GoMo about 3.30pm the day it was announced. I paid with my Revolut MasterCard (even though a few here said you couldn't). Originally set my port date (from eir) to the latest date I could as I was leaving a 30 day SIMO plan. I was able to verify my number and register the account without any problems.

I heard nothing for a few days and no update on my account (no number assigned). I emailed chat Friday daytime and they told me my Sim was with An Post. Later on Friday night my account was updated with an assigned number and Pin etc.

An Post delivered the SIM card this morning, postman rang the bell and handed it in but said he'd just sign for it anyway. I've moved my port date forward to today at 2pm so hopefully it all goes ahead ok.

Throughout the whole process I got no updates, emails or texts from GoMo or An Post. My account page still shows my order as "In Progress". Waiting on the port to happen in the next 20 mins so hoping it goes ok.

EuskalHerria

Did anyone have any issues connecting to 4G after porting? It won't connect to 4G automatically, and when I try to manually on the GoMo 4G network it says forbidden. I am in a strong 4G area and had no issues with two providers previously.

Has anybody ported from Tesco Mobile on a 30 days sim only contract successfully?

If so, what settings did you use?

Have tried single line post pay with account number including CONTR at the start, didn't work, tried same without CONTR at the start, didn't work. Also tried prepaid registered(seemed wrong to me but Tescos suggestion) and it didn't work.

ActingDanClark

Ported number successfully but " barred from making calls"?
Have rebooted

Grumpypants

Ordered two there. Was on the Vodafone Spotify offer at €20, but with that going up to €25 it is cheaper to get this and buy Spotify.

Hi,

I signed up last week and have a port date of 24/10.
Currently with eir, however I am getting cold feet and thinking of going to vodafone prepay. (as vodafone is solid where i live)

My question is, As i have set a port date, can i cancel that and just move to vodafone now? or do I have to wait until the port to gomo goes thru and then port on again.

Sparkrite

Of course you can cancel, all distance selling, including GoMo is subject to a 14 day 'cooling off' period.

Why not just give it a go for a month?

Aquos76

If you are currently with Eir, they surely you are familiar with the network, GoMo will be exactly the same, if you weren’t sure, they why waste 9.99 signing up in the first place.

To answer your question, when your sim arrives it will have a port date on your account, it will just be a matter of going in and pushing that date out further and then cancel your account. Once you get confirmation of cancel, you can then take out a plan with Vodafone and then port your eir number over to them.
