Eir GoMo - €9.99/month SIM only (unlimited calls, texts and 80GB data, 10Gb EU Roam

Pen Rua

Decided to go for it... switching from Three, where I've been for years, with the €20 top up deal. I was considering changing for sometime (tired of running out of credit and not being able to call non-Three people, hassle of topping up and /or all my top up being taken without a notification of internet use), so this came at the right time. Happy enough to try it for a few months.

I can see my number online, but no orders on my account, but no sign of dispatch or delivery. Should I contact support, I don't want to bother then unless its necessary.

New number or porting?
If you are porting and you picked a date later on in the month then GoMo will prioritize sim delivery to people porting sooner.

Ordered last Tuesday evening around 9ish, arrived today. Just changed my port date to today and time to about half an hour from now. We will see how it goes

New number, I didn't bother with porting, though simple sim will be quicker. I ordered 5 days ago.

When I login to account, it looks like I already have a SIM, and billing period has started.

I ordered a gomo sim last Thursday and opted to Port over from Vodafone. Funny I just received a call from a Vodafone rep looking to offer me lots extra calls texts for an increased price from €20 pm to €25 pm.

I never got an option to select when to port over, even though I said I wanted to keep my number. It didn't ask me for my number either.

Port started at 3:35 and ended at 3:45, text from Vodafone saying thanks and everything working fine! Getting speeds of about 20mbs down currently in the bishopstown area in cork, switching between 3/4bars of 4g not full.

Same, I saw this when I signed up "If you want to keep your number, simply pop into your MyGoMo account when your SIM arrives and select a time & date that suits you."

This was different to last week when I was thinking about it & it was asking for a number to port, time and date to change etc.

Got my sim this morning, ported from VM today ported about ten minutes from the scheduled time getting decent 4G speeds haven't tested calls but pretty happy so far

Anyone get confirmation whether they will or wont have 5g when Eir roll it out?
I queried them on Friday but still no reply back from them.

Every article I read noted no decision has been made re this.

Let's say GoMo reach the 100,000, what happens then?

Will they continue to offer the same deal but not for life? or, Will they up the price?

yes

Prob asked already but...

A lot of providers separate social media use from the data bundle, in other words, social media use is not counted against you data cap.

Where do GoMo stand on that?

80gb be very difficult to go through either way

I don't think there is a data cap. If it's the same as eir they just reduce the speed after 80gb.

For reference, I understand that Three's fair usage limit was 60GBs.

mgbgt1978

That's correct. For Three's "All you can eat data" the cap is 60GB.....although similar to Eir and Gomo they won't charge you for exceeding this, just possibly throttle your connection until the next cycle.

Given there are so few handsets available that are 5G ready it isn’t really much of an issue for most for the moment. If I was to hazard a guess, I would say that Eir will keep 5G for their customers in the hope that it keeps some of their customer base from jumping for GoMo. Realistically though, this 9.99 offer is a exceptional good deal as it is.

I would say most of GoMo's targeted demographic will be the highest future 5G users, so will be in their interest to have it in parallel with Eir, or else all those sign up's will jump to the other 5G networks?

I think it depends on demand, if there is high customer demand for technology like there was for 4G, then there will be premium charged for this service and probably not included in GoMo.

Has anyone with a new sim done the commute into Houston on the portlaoise line what's the coverage like?

On eir at the moment it's so frustrating trying to browse on the way to work. I've H and Edge most of the way to Dublin it's so bad I've been thinking of changing. Is GoMo any better?

GoMo are targeted by simple experience at a low cost.

5G will be premium experience at higher cost.

I'm huessing that the higher value experience will be limited to the Eir brand and paid for accordingly, the simple and cheap experience will be through GoMo. They may eventually get 5G... But it may not be immediate.

GoMo uses the Eir network. If Eir is shít then GoMo will be shít too.

Are people even reading up about GoMo?

It actually gives me serious dose of ire reading some comments here.

Same questions about coverage and speeds over and over again.

GoMo uses the Eir Network for calls and texts.

GoMo uses the exact same APN / Data settings for Data Usage.

If Eir is poor, GoMo will be poor.

You are getting a service which is €29.99 from Eir for €9.99 from GoMo. A no brainier if your an Eir customer.

Theres allot of people whining here, but I'm having a great experience so far with GoMo... I had a great experiance with Eir in the past. Vodafone wasn't a pleasant experience & I left them minus a hefty chunk of cash...

If you don't like the level of service, then don't sign up. Otherwise, if it suits you... do

Still no sim an update or test would be nice
