The worst operator I've ever used.

The worst operator I've ever used. The internet is absolutely unstable. The speed is 0.2mb/s and this is 4g coverage? According to diagnostics, it feels like they're "scattering" it across different servers, like some kind of parasite. Ping is crazy. +- normal internet only at night. I don't recommend it

False Advertising Buyer Beware.

False Advertising Buyer Beware. You have to purchase a plan by contract before you get your free month and then you have very little data as they say it's a FAIR USAGE POLICY. Absolutely A Disgrace. It Looks like a great deal but it's not. Beware.

PATHETIC

Absolutely terrible. Indescribably useless. Data rarely ever works, and if it does, it’s 3g. There is no roaming despite what they say. I’ve tried everything and even got in contact with 48 to fix the issue and still nothing works. On top of that, you are not able to call non Irish numbers. UK, Spain, America etc. Complete joke. I don’t understand how something can be so useless. I am not usually the type to leave reviews and complain about things, but holy god 48 is terrible. The price is good, but the quality of services needs a serious overhaul.

48 Renege on Fixed Price for Life Promise

Service is generally good value on the €7.99 package BUT 48 are now changing to a 4 WEEK plan… 48 are now changing to a 4 WEEK plan instead of a monthly plan. This is a price increase of one EXTRA PAYMENT per year. Is this legal? the package we signed up to said fixed price for life....

48 are now changing to a 4 WEEK plan instead of a monthly plan. This in effect means a price increase. 4 weeks EXTRA PAYMENT per year. The regulator should not be allowing 48( Three.ie) to do this!

Absolute rubbish company 48mobile

Absolute rubbish company 48mobile, data never works abroad. I have never been able to use my data abroad. No customer service . And they sneak another Month into the year with there new charge rate ie every 4 weeks. I thought they advertised 10.99 a month for life ..surely there has to be a regulator ..you just get an email and that's it .. another month charge ...and there is nothing we can do...Dreadful company..if I could give minus 5 stars I would..will be moving as soon as I can ..

48.ie have changed their billing period to every 4 weeks instead of monthly. This is a very covert way of effecting a price increase (i.e 13 charges per year instead of 12). When I raised this issue with them through their online chat, I was cut off. I now don't have access to the chat feature on my account!

Good value if you use it in Ireland

Good value if you use it in Ireland. Coverage is fine. Internet is generally good. However, roaming is a nightmare. I've travelled most of Europe since July last year and have had to recreate my APN settings in each country. This is unacceptable, even for a budget carrier. In Scotland and Northern Ireland roaming just wouldn't work at all.

Useless abroad

It's only good if you're in Ireland, when you go abroad you're fcuked! It says 10GB in Europe but it doesn't work anywhere! You might just leave your phone at home

I joined 48 Mobile on 8/5/23 and to date I cannot receive calls to my phone. 48 are blaming Three for not porting. They are totally incompetent about solving my issue. Avoid at all costs.
