    So, can I just clarify...if anyone signs up now to the 14.99 plan, 5G is available or not?

    5G is only available on the 14.99 plans now, those on the original 9.99 plan and the 12.99 need to upgrade to the 14.99 plan to get 5G. This is obviously GoMo's way of getting people off the older plans now.

    Well that answers my question, 2 GoMo sim's here in house and one is the 9.99 plan and other the 14.99 plan. The 14.99 plan has 5g - 4g only on the 9.99 plan. Both phones 5g enabled.

    When 5G was in testing mode I had in on the 9.99 plan, but I havent had it for a few months now. I honestly don't know will I bother upgrading, most places I am in have wifi and 4G has always been adequate for my needs.

    As above, just came off Vodafone rolling billpay to 48 knowing I was losing 5G, I'm going to stick with it as I think 48 and Clear might respond pretty soon.

    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.

    So, if all the people who are on GoMo 4G move to GoMo 5G then will people like me who are on the €9.99 and intend to stay on it get better reception and have less congestion\slower speeds if you know what I mean?

    Thanks,

    M

    All services on the mast still use the same backhaul.

    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

    If the fair use limit (120GB) remains for 5G plans then it's not much of an upgrade for those on the legacy price.

    5G isn't as much of an upgrade for consumers when compared to the upgrade from 3G to 4G/4G+.

    There have been posts in recent years showing speed tests around 200Mbps from Gomo 4G+, that's more than plenty on mobile for most people IMO.

    Hmmm

    the same T’s and C’s appear to apply to both 9.99 and 14.99 service, and the original sign up states:

    “You’ll get all the data, calls and texts you need so go enjoy!”

    it doesn’t make a distinction between 4G and 5G service.

    this seems to put loyal early adopter customers at a disadvantage….

    The official line is if original customers want to avail of 5G services then its requires an update of our existing plan to a more expensive plan.

    Given that GoMo now has 5G for 14.99 is there any advantage of going with Eir Sim Only 14.99 over the GoMo plan? Am I correct in thinking both have the same FUP of 120GB on the plans? I used Eir WIFI calling abroad before and it worked grand, does GoMo allow you use WiFi Calling abroad for no additional charge? GoMo mention the expected 5G speeds would be 50Mbps but I see several people are getting much higher?

    We moved house recently and Vodafone and 3 are pretty poor and was thinking of picking up an Eir Sim but could maybe get a GoMo one instead now?

    No, because the Eir €14.99 plan won't stay at that price.

    "GoMo allow you use WiFi Calling abroad for no additional charge?"

    Maybe someone can confirm either way but Gomo WiFi calling terms say that EEA roaming WiFi calls to non-Ireland numbers that are included when made via mobile network are charged for at international rate when made over WiFi.

    From Wifi calling terms...

    "11. If you are roaming in the EEA and using GoMo WiFi Calling, your usage will be deducted from domestic standard call and SMS allowance as described in your SIM Only Service. Calls made to Irish numbers will be charged from your domestic plan allowance.

    Calls made to the roaming country within which you are staying in or to any number outside of Ireland will be charged at standard international rates from Ireland. If you prefer to pay standard roaming rates for these calls, you have to disable GoMo WiFi Calling."

    I've only once seen 5G once on my phone, back in 2022 (I'm on the 9.99, 5G phone).

    Anyone else other than @ExoPolitic getting 5G recently on the 9.99 plan?

    From a phone POV I believe so, if you search "Preferred Network Type" in the settings of an Android you can set it to stay on 4g, however nothing you can do about the price plan.

    What' do you mean "upgrade"?

    The €14.99 plan has 5G, you don't need to apply for it again if already on it. Or select anything on GoMo account.

    Just turn 5G on, on your phone. Most phones anyway you select 5G/4G/3G/Auto so it select's best available network.
