Good quality of Internet and calls
Good quality of Internet and calls. Good price for service. Live support chat is very useful and quiet quick to response. The only one bad thing - app for the IOS. It's pretty laggy.

If there was a zero star rating thats what I would give 48..just came back from EU and nothing worked..didn't even work when I flew into Dublin..got onto a so called customer care desk..no call just typing the answer..he/she asked if I could try my sim card on another device...omg...this is run by a group of dopes..if worked on your phone abroad then you must have an old phone...do not change to 48 if you are to go abroad as you may be left lost, without directions is not ideal.
Stick to a phone company with a store - took weeks for the sim to arrive (meanwhile I was paying high pay as you go rates as you need to get off your previous plan to port). The number never ported, I was told there was an 'error'. Wish I had just paid the extra $ for a phone company with a store that could get it sorted asap as I've paid the difference 10 times over at this point.

I have been a 48’ie customer now for almost 6 months. During that time I have used 48’ie abroad ie roaming and in Ireland. I found the roaming service to be flawless once one manually switches ones device to roaming! Regarding speed I have not experienced a drop in service and the transmission speeds are excellent. My €12.99 subscription rolls over effortlessly when I am abroad. I have unlimited megbs when in Ireland and so far 48’ie have continued with their terms and conditions and when they say unlimited 5g they do actually stick to unlimited 5g! I don’t understand the negative feedback from some reviewers on TP…. Maybe 48’ie should advertise more and highlight their excellent service
The connection is poor, especially in bad weather, and it is necessary to contact 48 Mobile to try to resolve "signal loss" issues. They provide very little information, advertising unlimited internet for just €12.99, but it's actually misleading advertising because there is a limit on the internet, which they don't declare. Speaking with the operators, they clear their conscience by saying, "the limits will be removed from September." Meanwhile, for years they have been robbing us of our money, making us believe the internet was unlimited! They are hypocrites and scammers! 😡
I am very happy with this network. Its a brilliant service, and a great price.
Completely & utterly useless if you are outside main cities. Completely and utterly no roaming AT ALL, even in Northern Ireland. They say their €12.99 plan is UNLIMITED…. it is not, there is a MAXIMUM 200gb data cap. False advertising, useless coverage, no roaming, no customer service and in short IT IS A CON JOB. Save your money and buy from a provider that is the primary supplier, not a second rate piggy back wannabe. Vodafone/Three/Eir are the ones to be with. 48 should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
The data over the last week or so has been horrendous. Nothing loads, constantly dropping. Usually it’s fine but if this persists it will be time to change.
SIM delivery - 2 days Account setup - fast Phone number transfer from Virgin Media - 30 minutes (automatic) 5G speed - 100-220 Mbps in Cork Phone calls - works Texting -works EU Roaming - pending tests Three.ie is behind this company, should have good coverage in Ireland - pending testing
On July 14, I topped up my member ship for 10.99e, and my bank account was deducted three times for 10.99e. Every time I chat with an operator, they can't identify me, even though I've been their customer for many years. Since then, I can't get my money back, there's no competent customer service at all, it's frustrating!!!!
Changed from 3 to 48 which are run by the same network. Roaming is not good you have to be very tech savvy to get it to work by changing all different settings and then when u get home change them back. Sorry I changed over it was worth the extra €7 a month I was paying on 3. Also loads of other problems with them. Nothing is easy to do, can’t share your data unless you do stuff in settings and then it doesn’t work. When you try to do stuff which would have been automatic with my last provider it’s like jumping through hoops with 48 and you still get nowhere. Not worth the savings, avoid!!!
Trying to top up my phone with my card the past 3 months constantly onto them about they keep saying they'll sort it but never do have to keep trying different browers different phones and then had to try another persons credit card that i dont like to ask another person to use there card anyway its still not sorted was in the uk with my 11 year old daughter and we got stranded i couldn't order a taxi because the coverage is none existing in another country plus in when im in my own country the coverage keeps dropping dont join this joke of a company the tech support is a joke they'll keep you on the bot chat every time for well over an hour and i guarantee to you they wont sort the problem avoid this kip
If could give minus 10 stars, I would!! No coverage in rural south Donegal..even though my I'd UK sim from the UK works fine on same phone!! Supposedly 48ie uses the same three platform!? As far as it's in-house advice..haha! Also hung on for an hour on it's telephone complain line, and never got through..eventually got cut off! Bought 2 x €12.99 sims and an initial connect fee and still waiting for signals!! Why do I only get problems when visiting the Rep of Ireland!? Go all over the planet regularly with no sim card problems. Pathetic! My advice..avoid!!!
Problem with the sim card. Once that was working a problem with paying for the plan. I was asked to use multiple cards to try to make it work, to top up the phone outside of the plan (which I did not do) and had to use multiple browsers in multiple devices with no result at the end of all that. Atrocious and I should have taken the first warning sign when the sim didn't work.
Abroad and can’t add credit so stranded. Similar problems as others here. The solution provided does not work
My membership ran out and when I purchased a new 10.99 membership, money has been deducted from my account but membership has not been renewed, I tried a different card but same thing, I spoke with an agent they told me to buy the membership as a gift, tried that, money has been deducted from my account but no membership, I spoke with another agent, who told me to buy the credit as a gift but with a different card, tried it but same thing happened. I have been charged 10.99€ 4 times!!! Still no membership!! Agent said the money will be refunded to my accounts but haven’t received any refund, absolutely terrible
It works great around Ireland, I rarely had any issues, the odd time the data was slow but other than that no issues. The issue is when travelling anywhere outside of Ireland, even the UK you have zero network and zero internet, although you technically have data it won't connect to a single app or internet so I had to change. I got a better deal with Eir for €9.99 unlimited calls, text and data as I have my TV & Broadband with them
