If you open a VPN via the UK over your mobile data, it connects also, the problem is at Dominoes end.

Has anyone used the SMS option to switch your number over to them? Got the SIM in the post and using SMS would be easiest for me to switch over but just want to make sure it works smoothly.

No. I phoned them to do the port, they were friendly enough but it didn't work until eventually they told me to go the the post office and get a new sim, which was immediately successful.

Missus' 28 days was up on the 29th, got no notification in advance, tried the top up button, brings you to the main site (can't top up there), tried to set up auto top-up and to activate from today's date, of course the drop-down list only allowed to pick from the first to the 28th, which means you can't top up on the 29th, 30th or 31st. I selected the 1st, so she has to wait for a couple of days to get her data back. Ridiculous!

Just select auto top up, register a debiit card. You get the full month instead of 28 days, so thats one less topup per year. I get the notifications for top up by text, well in advance, though I dont have to do anything. I just get another text a few days later to tell me I've auto topped up. I Notice the Quick topup button, you enter your phone no, then all topup options for PAYG plans appear, extra data, mins, etc. I assumr you just select the €15 topup one and it will commence your plan top up on the 29th day after your previous 28.

Extended to 6th April

It isn't clear whether they are referring to the free month or the availability of the 15e price.

IMO, if they increase the price, that effectively halts new customers joining, unless they add extra benefits. 15e price point is just right.

wow another week great:)

deezell

I still have the free €10 ' General cash addon', probably going to expire on my next topup date, 3 months since first paid month. Is there anything this can be spent on?

Yeah, I think so too. I've been able to get a 4G+ connection in a few places around Dublin, which gives An Post Mobile an edge over GoMo.

Is anybody else having problem with mobile data on PostMobile over the last week?

Not in rural areas, in small towns.

No service whatsoever.

Terminator

No problems here. Just switched last week. Very pleased with the speed and connection indoors compared to Three.

three has unlimited data post mobile has not only 50gb

Terminator

Unlimited data isn't much use if the signal is weak.

I think the problem may be my APN settings.

I have two.

Vodafone live! live.vodafone.vom
Vodafone MMS mms.vodafone.net

Do I delete these or edit them?




This is from the Postmobile FAQs:

Android Data/MMS settings
1. Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names and delete all existing APN’s.
2. Create a new Internet APN with settings
Name: Postmobile
APN: isp.postfone.ie
MCC: 272
MNC: 01
APN Type: default, supl
Press Menu Key & Save

Sometimes for APN Typesetting you are only allowed choose from a list. If so, choose Internet or default.

Geuze

I was scared, but I deleted both existing Vodafone APNs.

I added one Postmobile APN.

Mobile data is back.

Thats the same deal? 'Unlmited' is subject to fair usage, which means 3000 mins and 3000 texts. Same for data, unlimited meant 50G.

That's odd. Does he have enough credit? Could he be on a tariff that doesn't include data?

Try editing the APN type in Settings/Connections/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names/ Postmobile to 'DUN', go back to posts #90- https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=115717453&postcount=91

Have this problem too since 04 May. Getting 17kbps when Hot-spotting. Lucky to have mi' ol Tesco still pumping.

DID change APN Type from Default to DUN. Didn't help.

Just in case, try lowercase, 'dun' delete supl

deezell

I just got a new phone literally the other day, so I've just checked, my hotspot gone again, APN is the one sent by pistmobile, so I deleted 'supl', put in 'dun', that done the trick on samsung s9. Hotspot up and running.

TheDriver

Checked and my hotspot still working fine. No Dun required.

Maybe just deleting supl is sufficient, just leave default. It's not clear how the protocols affect connectivity, other than dun is a legacy protocol to make the phone serve like a Dial Up Network, which is sort of what tethering is.

dohouch

Definitely something up. Post mobile customer care, just told me that hot spotting is not officially supported.
