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

lighthouse

I ordered my SIM late last Thursday night, got it yesterday. Changed my port time to 10:00 this morning.
My port was done in a few minutes. Got a welcome text from GoMo, making calls with my old number so happy ooooooooooout :):)

I have to say, so far, doing exactly what I need it to do. SIM card in a router, for responsive CCTV cameras (they save locally, so no cloud storage). Rather than paying €30 a month to Three, €10 a month does the exact same thing!

Probably be moving back to my previous provider

Where I live & work, 2 different towns, just getting Edge or 3G if I'm lucky

Funny, in the town where I live, Eir will be releasing 5G ( I know that's not related, but still )

But I have a dual sim phone and Vodafone is my other SIM, so might hang tough and see what if anything the other
providers come up with to attract back customers?

I have sim a couple of days now, and porting is sheduled to kick off 1st Nov.


Should I just go ahead and port today? Any reason not to??

Go for it, mine just ported this morning after changing my port day yesterday.
No idea why people are having problems. I was with Lycamobile, paying 15e a month in advance. I ported my number from Three a few years ago.
I put "prepay registered" in the section where you picked 1 out of 4 options.
I wonder are people putting wrong information there?
Anyway all good with me especially as my old Lyca balance was up today 🙂🙂🙂

I don’t know what the story was but I had worse data connection that you for the first 3 or so days of this week just after I ported. But it’s now gone back to comparable with Virgin.

That was only a small part of my issue though - my port had stopped or gotten stuck or failed or something, and the customer support folk didn't even try to investigate, just told to me to keep waiting 'a few more hours' and it 'might resolve'. I requested tech support a number of times, ignored (facebook, twitter, chat). I wasn't able to receive calls or texts (OTP for online banking or any other services that send pins via text!), that was the bigger issue, especially with the bank holiday weekend looming and no attempt at investigating the issue (no acknowledgement that there even WAS an issue), that is what put me off

That's fair. I was just chiming in with similar issues, that thankfully got sorted out.

I was the same. A multi line VM account. Took a while to port over, a few hours at least.

Good to hear. No need to panic yet so. Are you happy with the service so far?

I got set up yesterday and all is now working well.



Also one other thing, for iMessage activation... When I ported my number and put the sim in, the number in 'Phone' in the settings was the 085 number that came with the sim. Ensure you change this before activating iMessage. Even it prompts you to activate, hit cancel and ensure you go to phone settings and check the number is correct. Then go to Messages and you can activate iMessage from there and it should use your correct number. Maybe this is overkill, but I've experienced issues before when porting numbers and iMessage, and this method worked for me.

With regards to iMessage.... if you let your service with the other provider go dead first (i.e. no coverage)..... then put in your GoMo sim (which should be now the same number which has been ported over from other provider.... should you have to go to through the steps you described above?

In the situation i'm describing, iMessage would never have been turned off on the phone... just that the sim would have dropped service.

Anybody have any joy getting through to the webchat today? I've had the window open for an hour and nothing yet.

First few days were awful. 0.10 download speeds so couldn’t really use data. But after that sorted itself out it’s been fine. Comparable to VM speed wise.

What happens if I don't get the sim in time for the porting date I chose. I can't see anywhere to change or see the date, it used to be there.

Will the old sim stop working?

Stops working and your screwed until you can setup the new one.

I ordered on Wednesday of last week (16/10) and still nothing. No sign of a €9.99 debit to my card either.

I'd chase it up, but any time I have ever tried to deal with Eir it has been an unmitigated disaster. The last I left them (I had their home broadband package for a year) I swore I'd never go back. I might just let this pass me by if the SIM cards don't arrive; in any case I find 48's 'Guido' perfectly fine for my needs (except that EU roaming is always a disaster - sh1tty data speeds/unreliable or nonexistent network connection...)

Gumbo

I also ordered 2 sims on Wednesday 16th and nothing has arrived.

€19.98 has been debited from the CC, my online account is up and running with 2 numbers assigned to my account but no sims have arrived.

Switched over this morning had both sims old eir and gomo in identical coverage eir sim died 5 mins later all done eir sim off and away we go. Solid 4g in limerick

I'm worried now that my order is being delayed as I payed with revolut. My wife and I both ordered last Wednesday her sim arrived on Monday and she used her visa. I still haven't been assigned a number yet on the website she was given her one on the day after ordering.

Are they basically not dealing with revolut orders and just leaving us hanging?

Hi

Just wondering did you approve the GoMo payment on your Revolut App?

Id guess they'll be at the 20k-30k mark soon, 100k is prob a bit off yet

Ported over this morning, took 10 minutes, solid speeds in Dublin 3, faster than Eir were.

Got 30-40Mb on GoMo and 40-50Mb on Eir, I'm near a cell tower so good signal. In work it could be anywhere from an Edge signal to LTE depending on where I sit, but have WiFi so not an issue.

I'd mostly use data out and about for Google Maps and the like, never have any issues. Only places I've had ****e signal is Wicklow mountains and Kildare Village.

Couldn't port my number as it was after 6 so will try when I'm home today.

sueryan2

Beware - I moved over today and the reception is really awful. My internet won't connect, my whatsapp messages won't send, I am sitting a meter away from a window and had absolutely none of this issues before porting over about an hour ago. The only contact you have with Gomo is to send an email and their response is that they will respond in 24 hours.

This is not a good service.

Pighead

Ok, having tried to get in contact with somebody from webchat for two days now I'm resigning myself to the fact that this is not going to happen before my porting date tomorrow.

My question is will my porting to gomo still go ahead automatically tomorrow even though I can't log into my account? Even though I can't log in to gomo will everything still work? Thanks.

Just a FYI, but my order failed to complete when I used my revolut card. Support team said they don't cater for revolut.

Reordered successfully with BoI debit card.

Yeah, it's odd.
Some people have been able to use revolut but not me.

I wishI could remember where, but I'm sure I heard on the radio during the week that they had 40,000. Maybe it was on the podcast link that's posted somewhere in this thread. It was also suggesting it would struggle to reach 100,000 but it wasn't impossible. The likes of ID and 48 have tried to launch similar products but failed or are failing because they didn't reach their (undisclosed) targets. Whoever was talking about it argued that GoMo might be different as there's a huge marketing push behind it.
