48.ie - Was 7.99/month - 100 GB, all calls, all texts, 10 GB EU data - [Now 10.99]

3 working days to receive my sim with the standard postal service. Unlocked my Vodafone phone - A70 through an Ebay seller - straight forward enough. porting my number at the mo, may take 24-48 hours but I have data. Getting 4g at times, but currently showing data as H+, always had either 3 or 4g, so had to look up what it was, seems to be a lower standard to 4g, anyone know if that is the speed they give you with the 1gb free you get to try it out? Testing out on speed testers has not been successful, seems to not be able to find servers, which us weird

I've been with Vodafone for 10+ years and am the guinea pig for a few more that will port if my experience is good. Vodafone will need to get their finger out or they'll loose a lot of customers

I don't think they enable 4g until you buy a membership.

I have 4g showing on mine, still using the free 1GB.

If you have H+ then possibly Three isn't as strong for 4G as Vodafone in your particular area. Although H+ should still provide decent speeds...think 3.5G

Getting another family member to move from Tesco mobile. They have €40 credit, any ideas on how to waste it up? I know we have until November but afraid they will pull back from their deal by then!

Does 48 support hd voice calls? I am currently in gomo, and between gomo, calls are made in hd. There is an hd icon on the call and sound quality is better than normal

Is your phone set to go to wifi if there is no password?

Few more tests in Cork city centre (north side). GoMo was better at night whereas 48 was better early in the morning.

Rock Paper Scissors

I ported from tesco mobile over to 48 and the speeds are dreadful. Getting around 1-2mb. I had 4G with Tesco but only 3G with 48.

Double checked all my APN settings and have roaming enabled.

Have rebooted several times.

I ported 2 days ago and the speed has not improved.

I am using a Xiaomi Mi A2 lite.

Any ideas lads?

Not sure what you mean. I was on the bridge, not close to any wifi, just 4G+ and it was the better speed I have ever seen on LTE.

But in other places speed is lower than what I get with GOMO

Tesco and 48 are on the same network, so speeds should be the same. I realise this doesn't really help

Anyone else still not get their sim? Ordered 11th, dispatched 15th and still not here.

Waiting to get one so I can activate and "recruit" for one of the kids, so I assume it'll be another long wait for that one. Hope they don't pull the offer early.

Ordered a SIM last night to evaluate the service. I was an original Tesco mobile customer way back in 2012 and gave up in despair after a few months. I certainly hope this 48 service is better than that was. I'm a believer in the notion that if something is cheap, its usually for a reason, but I'm prepared to be persuaded otherwise with this.

My OH had awful problems with Tesco mobile a few years ago. I switched from gomo to 48 last week. Early days but no issues so far anyway.

How long can you wait before renewing? I.e. before they cancel service after you've topped up at least once

Have one sim on 48 from GOmo, happy days

In theory, Lyca, as their SIMs are widely available. Not sure if there's any top up needed on a Lyca SIM to port in / out.

Eir send out SIMs for free but might also require a top up to port in / out.

Or else just use the new 48 number and wait until November and see if they extend the 7.99 plan to everyone...if they don't then port away and back to the new SIM.

I switched from 48 to Lyca and back to 48 on same day. No issues and no need to top up the Lyca one, was literally only on it for 30 mins before porting back out.

7.3 Where the 48 Services are suspended because you have chosen not to purchase top up credit or make a chargeable use in respect of your Account for a period of 6 months, we will remove any credit on your Account after a further 2 months and credit will not be recoverable. Your service will then remain suspended for a further 5 months and can be reconnected at any time during this period. When the suspension period ends your service will be disconnected, this agreement will end and your number will be immediately lost.

Tesco from years ago isn't a patch on this. I get 4G now on 48 where tesco would barely give E years ago.

Gomo are promoting at the for life nature of their offering.

Odd 48 are not making similar pronouncements

Not true:


Once you’re on the €7.99 membership it’s yours to keep for as long as your with 48. Just a heads up though if you change to another available 48 plan you won’t be able to avail of the €7.99 membership again. If you’re a lover of the small details see full terms of the promo 👉 https://48.ie/legal/price-plan-details

It's about €7.99 membership, not 100 GB membership or membership with different price.

I agree, 48 seem every bit as reliable as three. Tesco used be a nightmare.

Wasn't Tesco on the O2 network, not Three?

Yeah but they still had problems even when 02 merged with 3. I don't know if it's improved since 3 merged both networks internally at the beginning of the year but before that Tesco were brutal. Sometimes you'd have data but not be able to make a call. While at the same time you be able to make them or vice versa.
