Lads...

I've been told because I was with them years ago that I am still considered a existing member so am not entitled to the €8 for new members what the actual fcuk

I left them years ago for 3 and have been with various networks and just ported back

Order another SIM (via someone's referral link if you want). Use a new email address.

Not sure what to do with your number, port that to Lyca temporarily and port back in later...another poster did it that way and was only off 48 for an hour or so.

Did you use your previous login or just re use the email on a new account?

I used my old email on new account I think the agent says the system sees the email and considers it an old membership

So I basically I have to go through the whole lot again

Port over to someone else
Order another 48 SIM
Port back again

What a complete and utter disaster

Did you buy a 7.99 membership or were you waiting until after porting?

Was waiting til after porting

I have made a new account with new email and ordered another sim

I have ordered an eir prepay sim

Am I right in thinking when I have both I port to eir sim then port back to the new 48 SIM and account is that ok does everyone think?

- Activate new 48 SIM
- Buy membership
- Port number from existing SIM to Eir (Lyca SIMs are easier to get in Spar, Centra etc). Don't port back to 48 before buying membership, that may have been the problem along with the email address.

Having said that another poster reused an old address but had changed it on the old account before signing up again.

I assume when I port to eir I don't need to buy credit before I port back? Thinking of doing it over a 24 your period

Looks like service is back, I can make calls and sent texts but mobile data is not working for me.

I running dual SIM Gomo and 48. Data dropped out on 48 a little while ago. It shows fill bars with the data set to Gomo, but as soon as I switch data to 48 it drops.

I've switched off auto renew. I think I'll stick with Gomo.

Not sure TBH, probably not.

Testimony of porting from 48 to Lyca and back with no top up...

I reused an old email address without issue but I haven't ported in a number that was on 48 before. Also, I had to log into the old 48 account and change my email there before I could use use that email signing up for a new account so I don't see how reusing an email that was registered with 48 before could have caused the other poster's issue.

I'm thinking it was porting in a number that was previously on 48 was their undoing. Hopefully, as you suggest, buying the €7.99 membership before porting in the number will solve the issue.

Why is it so hit miss :mad:

Around 3pm I was getting 2mb download speeds and now I'm getting 100mb+.
I'm on the trial period at the moment but I'm probably not going to switch as speeds are all over the place too much.

Network is over subscribed, speeds are probably good now as alot of users have no data access.

Mobile operators down as Three tries to fix network outage

Adrian Weckler
September 27 2020 05:11 PM
Several of the country’s mobile operators are down after Three said that it has undergone an outage.
Customers of Three, Virgin Media and Tesco Mobile have taken to social media platforms to complain to the operators about a loss of data connectivity.

Three carries 68pc of the country’s mobile data and is the base network used by four other operators — Tesco Mobile, Virgin Mobile, Lycamobile and 48.

“We're aware Three customers are experiencing difficulty with loss of service today, we're working to get this fixed as quickly as possible,” a Three customer service agent tweeted today to people asking what was going on.

Independent.ie has contacted Three and is awaiting a further statement.

Yeah I think I'll stick to gomo.
I have constantly 25-40mb speeds so that's good enough.

Do ye find comreg good in checking mobile coverage?

Yes and no, it's fairly accurate but just because you have 4g signal doesn't automatically mean you will have good speeds. I had 4g yesterday while out on my travels and at one stage couldn't load a page. Will give it another few days to see if it's just teething problems with all the new joiners or related to 3's outage. If I'm still facing them problems in a week or two I think I'll be moving elsewhere.

It's a theoretical map based on mast locations and possibly topography. It doesn't indicate real world connection quality. AFAIK the Comreg map is just an amalgamation of each networks own map.

Only way to get an idea of each networks coverage is to get a SIM and try it out.

Nope.
It’s states I have very good signal on gomo where I live.
I can categorically state I have no bars and only 600m from a cell tower.

Constant call Cather texts and voicemail notifications 2 days after the event.

I swapped to 48 last week. 3 bars, and so,etimes LTE in my kitchen now. I had no bars last week on gomo.

I wonder will there be a 5G add on now that Three have enabled 5G

This form an article back in June

"5G is “also in the plans” for the 48 service, executives say, even though Three has not yet launched its 5G service in Ireland."

Quick question. I’ve got an active €7.99 plan. I’ve now also got €8 credit. If I use that €8 to buy a membership will it stack up the membership or with the month start again from today? I’ve 18 days left on my current membership.

Yes you can buy memberships in advance and stack them. On the Memberships page select the 100GB Membership and there should be an option to pay with your credit.


Today I used my €7.99 recruit credit to buy a membership for next month and it has appeared as upcoming on the Memberships page (see attachment).
