Don't sign up with 48.ie if you will…
Don't sign up with 48.ie if you will need to access the internet abroad. I am a developer and I sometimes need to check on our online systems while abroad so when I signed up with 48.ie I did it on a second SIM and a second handset so that I'd have my current phone as a backup. The first day I arrived in Hungary, I realized I had no internet on the 48.ie phone so I spent a couple of hours with the help of my other phone looking up help pages and community groups and finally got it working by changing some APN settings. This shouldn't be necessary, if I was a non tech person with no backup phone, I wouldn't have been able to fix it. Already my conclusion would have been that this is not a service i should rely on for roaming purposes. I have been mainly using my backup phone since but now a couple of days later i decided to test the 48.ie phone again and low and behold there was no internet service available on it again. The APN settings are still the the way I left them. I couldn't be bothered spending any more time trying to get it to work. I will just cancel it when I get home. It was cheap lesson, only cost me €10 for one month. From my own experience and reading the experience of others On-line, I would recommend to anyone considering 48.ie for roaming to stay as far away from them as you possibly can.
