Trust pilot is nonsense really, how many people think about leaving a good review ? Most people are getting what is advertised and are happy.

Oh I know. If people are happy, you won't hear about it. For €10 a month, for life - GoMo could f*** me around for at least 3 years before I would even start to consider whether signing up for it was a good idea or not!

True, it also depends on how you use your phone. Some people are reliant on calls and data for work, these people should be paying for a more expensive/reliable service.

Anyone knows how I can check my current month data usage on GoMo card?

Exactly. Im with 3 well over a decade because of their "All you can eat data" and prior to roaming charges being dropped, their "3 like home" service where I could use my bundle inc data as normal abroad in most EU countries.

But their speeds were slow, coverage was mediocre in my area and the customer service was non existent but the positives outweighed the negatives for me for €20. I was paying €35 P/M before that for a brilliant service, fast data etc.. but with very limited minutes, texts and data. something like 1 or 2GB :eek:

So for €10 I can live with GoMo, even if it is a mediocre service its worth the 50% saving.

Same story as me, the 35 bundle was so limited for calls and texts it was essentially worthless, bills were always 50 or more so I upgraded to the 45 per month offer and it was still piss poor. I'm with gomo about 10 weeks now and not a single problem, excellent speeds, excellent coverage. Tennar a month, its just ridiculous value.

People think they're getting a premium product paying 55 or 65 a month to the likes of Vodafone, they're not.

On the purchase page when it asks what date do you want to move your existing number, sure if i don't know when GoMo will send me their sim in the first place what date are you supposed to put in there? I'm currently on a PAYG plan with 3.

Leave it blank and wait until you receive the SIM and try it out before porting. Porting can be done at any time in the future.

There should be a seting on your phone that allows you to see how much data you use be it Gomo of Wifi.

I’m using GoMo in a router and connect multiple devices, so can’t track for each device, hence asking here.
By the way, internet performance and connection quality is way better than my late Vodafone broadband and saves me 35 euro a month too.

The short answer is GoMo don't let you track your usage they text at 80% used and 100% used and that's it I believe. Your router/device might have some tracking on the admin page otherwise you are out of luck. On the plus side there are no extra charges, it will just get slower for the remainder of the month.

Switched over in October - 2 sims in our house. Absolutely seemless and a great deal. No network issues and €9.99 all in is an amazing bargain!

I applied for a SIM on 23rd December but still no sign, didn't think it'd be this slow. Think there have been at 6 working days since. Hope it arrives tomorrow.

Thanks all, arrived this morning, 12 year old rearing to have first phone up and running so porting not an issue at least.

You can't yet.

Set a data usage counter in your phone settings to start first of each month.

certainly an economical option if 80gb is enough to see you through a month.

there is supposed to be a facility coming I believe to show your data usage (on this thread somewhere) but who knows how long that may take.

that would probably be available through the browser login

although if you are using a router that accepts a sim card there is often a facility to check usage through that.

you would have to login to to the router to set this up - http://192.168.1.1 usually and then enter your username and password. have a look at the manual.

I am able to do exactly that with the GoMo SIM I have in my router, can keep an eye on it easily.

I see they've now allowed an account holder to bar specific mobile services (Maybe it's been there a while but only spotted it today)
Login to GoMo, Account Details - Bar Mobile Services.
Full Network Bar, Bar of Premium SMS's, Bar of Roaming, Allow Premium Calls, Allow International calls are the current options available.

They've been there a few weeks now, but greyed out so you can't actually select any of the options just yet.

That's exactly what I'm doing as well, my VM sub is cancelling on Jan 12th so looking forward to saving ~€50 per month. Luckily I don't stream stuff so the 80Gb limit is fine for me.

Gomo will start billing you once you order the Sim though ,which seems unfair.
Billing should start from when the port goes through.

you can still use the SIM before the port occurs.

At the end of the day, it's the cheapest offer on the market, complaining that it's "unfair" is a bit much.

Its a fee for the SIM so effectively they're not charging for usage in the 1st month.

The only thing that's unfair about this offer, is that we only get one life to use it - and that's not GoMo's fault.

my wife got her sim yesterday...ordered i think last thursday, so it was quick.
put it in her phone...logged on to gomo site at 12.42...set to transfer number at 12.45....checked it all around 12.50 and number had ported and all fine with good coverage.

now ...question....she is going up the north today...stribane, so just over border....but does she have to choose a specific network up there for roaming ?....afraid she'll be hit with charges, especially data if on wrong network.

thanks in advance for any replies

As long as her phone is set to roam there should be no issue, it should automatically switch to EE.

Nope, it happens automagically. EU roaming directive applies until at least December 31st and GoMo has committed to keeping UK roaming free after that.

Hi Guys,

For Gomo mobile internet, are you using LTE or 3G?

Is there a source for this? Eir committed to not bringing back UK roaming charges in either the Irish Times or Independent. I hadn't seen Gomo do it, and their customer service is saying they don't know, but that they can't say that they won't have UK roaming charges from the 1st of Feb 2020 if Brexit goes ahead.

it would be until the end of the transition period (Dec 2020) at least I'd have thought.,

That would be a reasonable assumption. The CS rep I talked to said they don't know. I don't know if they meant that Gomo don't know or that particular person doesn't know. They said it is a possibility that they might introduce roaming charges on the first of Feb.

Essentialy though I didn't get any info, other than they don't have a post Brexit pricing for roaming confirmed to the front facing staff.

Just don't select a move date. You will still get the sim (it will have a GoMo number) and then in May when you want to port over your current number, do it then.

Coolaboy

It wont let me continue and Move date turns red.

Very open to correction here, but as far as I know - you can click the 'get a new number' option, or whatever it's called - and change at a later date, regardless. I'm 99.99% sure on this...

Okay I'm in Keeping the same Number option..

Wait a second though, just in case I'm misreading the situation... you do know that you can click the 'get a new number' and STILL change the number at a later date?

Coolaboy

No thanks for that. Can I not press Keep my number and go live then in May?

MMXX

Coolaboy wrote: »

I'm sure you can, it's just you said you couldn't go beyond Feb. - so I suggested a work-around. I'm sorry, I really don't know too much about this...

Put it like this, I personally clicked 'get a new number' - and when my account got set up, I still had the option to move an old number in place of the one assigned to me, even though I clicked 'new number'.

Can anybody else help here? I feel like I'm confusing things!

Don't go through the "keep my number" process, get a new number and port your old number to this new number in May through your Gomo account.

Ten Pin

Get a new number, this will be an 085 number which the gomo SIM uses.

Keep your number is for porting straight away. Do not do this as it will mess up your 3 contract.

You can get a new number and then port your current 3 number at any time in the future.

Just another bit of advice, which I THINK is correct - and might be relevant when the time comes... when your contract is up with 3, you will have to inform them you want to switch to prepay, this if I'm not mistaken - will mean you have to buy a prepay 3 sim. When you have this done, contact 3 to port your current number, which is tied to a 3 contract - to a 3 prepay plan. THEN, if I'm not mistaken - you should be able to successfully port your number to your GoMo account.

I am totally open to correction on this though...

I don't know for sure, I would guess you wouldn't physically be able to - the system I am thinking wouldn't allow it. So probably, another email/account - or worst case scenario, another email/account AND another payment card?

I'm not sure...

I have two accounts using the same gmail address by just adding a full stop in my name - seen as two separate email addresses by GoMo but not by Gmail.
