Gomo doesn't work in places for me where eir always worked.
Just a simple comparison in same area with eir I got around 5mbps on 3g with eir and get 0.6mbps with gomo on 3g don't know if its just me.
It's cheaper but it not working properly in middle of city...

That's somewhat disturbing. I wonder if the number of people moving to Gomo has affected the contention ratio in that area. Could Eir users be similarly affected in that area now?

I switched from Eir to GoMo and i haven't noticed any differences with the network here in Waterford, Dungarvan, Kilkenny and Wexford. Also only had "E" and occasional 3G on a trip to ikea a few weeks ago, this was the same with Eir.

Contrary to the thread title, GoMo is not a MVNO.

Perhaps you were using WiFi calling on Eir? GoMo does not currently support WiFi Calling. This wouldn't explain your speed comparison, but it would explain why calls/texts might have worked for you on eir and not on GoMo. Speed comparisons can be very hit-and-miss at the best of times, depending on who else is hogging bandwidth in your cell at a given time.

Its identical for me and my trip to work has dead zones for eir, exact same for gomo.

Trying to port out of gomo but gomo number doesn't receive the otp which is needed to perform the switch. What do I do now??

I'm trying to help someone who's helping someone else transfer their number to GoMo.

They've received the SIM and received the verification text from their old provider in the porting scheduler page, but when they fill in the form and click confirm nothing happens, anyone else come across this? The SIM is showing as delivered in the account, and they've tried a few different port dates. This has been going on for a few days now. They're currently with eir prepay.

Are they trying to do this on their phone?
Maybe try doing it on a PC and try different browsers.

Anyone know how to check data balance? Just curious to know how much I'm using.

Is there any way to disable international calls from GoMo SIM?

its unlimited anyway they just slow you down after 80mb

which would take quite a lot to use up unless you are downloading loads of movies , tv shows etc

:mad: PROBLEM PORTING MY VODAFONE NUMBER TO GOMO :mad:

I have tried multiple times to port my Vodafone number to GoMo. Each time I enter the (correct) details and click the "Confirm" button, NOTHING HAPPENS!. This has been going on for over a month, ever since I received my GoMo SIM, which is lying unused in a drawer!

I have sent messages to GoMo via their website, and on Facebook. No response.
If it is not sorted out this week I am taking it to Comreg!
GoMo are charging me money for a service I cannot use with my existing number.

My problem (until just now) was with Chrome, Firefox & Internet Explorer on my PC, and Firefox, on my phone. . It made no difference what browser I used!

I FINALLY FOUND A SOLUTION:

You have to visit your "account details" page FIRST

https://my.gomo.ie/offer

and then click the "move my number" link at the bottom left of that screen before you key in your details for porting your existing number to GoMo.
It worked!

How to block this? Would I get a refund for this?

First thing send STOP to the number, do that straight away or it'll be on your next bill as well.

Then tell Gomo to bar all premium services on your number.

Contact the provider of the "service" and insist on a refund. They need to show that an AGREE text was sent from your number to comply with their licence.

That's the gist of it, lots of threads about same scam perpetrated on other phone users...

Thanks. Contacted ComReg. Got a reference number. I was requested to contact help@pfi.me with all details and get a refund.

Just be aware that Comreg are a little bit soft on these companies. They licence them to do this and then just let them off into the wild to do what they like...point being that you will need to do most of the work yourself...if the company pushes back and says it's a valid subscription by waffling about IP addresses etc just ask for proof of the AGREE SMS and then ask to speak to their data controller to get a copy of all data they have about you and where they got it (Subject Access Request).

Don't accept anything less than 100% refund
