Gomo 5G?

Device is an iPhone 12, I guess. Are you on €9.99, €12.99 or €14.99? Is Voice over WiFi working as well? There have been reports of 5G since late 2020 but on Android devices and only in certain regions in the country.

Yea Gomo said awhile back they where introducing 5G and Wifi calling to new customers (What you are) and for myself on the old 9.99 package will get it in the future, Still hasn't happened for me yet and can't get wifi calling turned on iphone x.

I am on the original €9.99 plan and have picked up 5G a handful of times in the last couple of months. I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE.

I bought a 12 Pro Max last week and am a day one €9.99 GoMo subscriber. 5G is turned on in the settings but when out and about I am yet to see the indicator show 5G? WiFi calling will not turn on in the settings?

I was able to get 5G in many places when I had the same SIM in my Galaxy S21 Ultra?

Why are we as long term and loyal customers getting shafted here? Is there an official way to lodge a complaint with GoMo and ComReg about this?

Thanks,

M

Voice over a 4g LTE network instead of 2g GSM or 3g UMTS networks.

Surely that only slows down the time you can spend on the call?

LTE (4G) networks are very different to what came before. There’s no support for circuit-switched calls like there was in previous standards. It’s just a data pipe. So VoLTE treats the call as if it were data and sends it over the 4G network. I’ve no experience with 5G (still on an iPhone 8 Plus here) but I’d bet that it’s the same. If your phone or provider doesn’t support VoLTE then it has to bump you back to 2G or 3G to make or receive a call, otherwise it wouldn’t work at all.

Porting means moving your number from your current network to your new network. This is Standard across all mobile networks.

APN is the Access Point Name, which is essentially a address on how your phone connects to a mobile network. In Gomos case it’s data.myeirmobile.ie. This can be managed in your mobile data settings on your phone.

Are many people getting 5G? Seems strange that it is intermittent.

Are you actually for real? GoMo make it difficult?

It's as easy at it gets. Set a time to port your number to GoMO, insert GoMo sim card into an unlocked phone. And magic! It just works.

Every network is the same as such and porting required. And in relation to APN, most phones will receive the updated APN form GoMo once you've switched over, so not an issue.

With GoMO since day 1, and majority of family and friends with them now also. And they're all saving their miserable €5 and more even.

Why would I? A poster explained it above for you 9 minutes after your post.

Yes, a family member got this at about 104gb.

That is a very valid point mate and possibly makes senses as I turn WiFi off a fair bit on the iPhone!

I’m on the €9.99 plan and I’ll be sticking with it. It’s only a mater of time before they make standard to all customers. They’re trying to entice us out of the €9.99 deal before they make it standard for everyone.

Can't even get the English text right for this....does not instil much confidence in them!! :-(

Eir/GoMo 5G doesn't work on the Pixel 6 so 4G will do me just fine.

Pass.. I'm quite happy paying a tenner and getting 4G/4G+, even though I just got a S23U

I personally don't see the point in 5G if you generally have access to fixed line/fibre broadband, or don't rely on the phone for heavy streaming etc

+1. depend per user and how its used , i have "eaten" this 120GB in three days for home(router) setup with Eir SIM. great when it last, then is not anymore... 5/1Mb cap.

Which phone was that on please?
