    Me. I use GOMO on my phone.

    I recently changed the sim on the prepaid wifi. It used to globe sim but now its on gomo.

    No noticeable change in performance.

    I ise my gomo sim on a b535 932 modem for WFH back up. Getting only 15 mbps. If I tether my Poco F2 pro using the same Gomo sim to my PC I am getting 80 mbps. It looks like the modem it use does not have enough supported bands.

    For WFH backup it works for me as it has no expiry and I only use it once my main fiber line is down.


    Was also able to subscribe to Smart's Magic Data 399 with no expiry. Smart's network seems to be more reliable in my area.

    talagang hindi mauubos yan, kung hindi gagamitin.
    heh heh.

    errr,
    how long has it been with you?

    i myself have the 55 gb.
    hindi ma-ubos-ubos dahil hindi ko ginagamit.
    "for emergency use only."
    i'm a smart.
    so i bought the gomo for those instances in the smart-unfriendly malls...

    Feb 2021 ko binili doc meron pa 2gb naiwan. I used it only when outside kasi pagdating house auto connect naman sa wifi. Sometimes when bored working from home, i go to coffee shop and work from there using this gomo. Spotify, google maps sa apple car play pag nasa byahe. Sulit.

    Just out of curiosity, I got out my old Globe Tattoo 4G modem (Huawei B315s) which they never took back when I terminated the plan, and inserted the Gomo 30GB pre-paid SIM.

    It works. Though, I wouldn't say I was surprised.... same company and same infra.

    This is perfect as backup internet for wired devices. I can drop this into my network and internet instantly becomes available everywhere (wired and WiFi). This being a metered access, I will need to clamp down on the bandwidth to make 30GB last at least the whole day. We average 90GB per day, give or take.

    Just out of curiosity, why do you have that kind of consumption? It took me four months to consume 30 GB. No wonder since I only use my phone for a few video clips. It might change soon because of my weekly online meeting and once I'm back in the academy. Does an online class consume that much?

    Just for sharing since it's a gomo topic.

    I have my postpaid smart and gomo on my phone. On my tablet i have a prepaid globe sim. I thought of using gomo for it so I can avail of the no expiry data load. Instead of getting a new number i tried the mobile number portability that the telcos now offer. Not bad at all. Tuesday i got the required USC from globe then ordered a gomo switch easy sim. Today, Thursday the gomo SIM arrived and I was able to port my old globe number to it in less than an hour. Not bad. Now I have no expiry data as well on the tablet.

    Nice, so now I can switch my personal globe prepaid into a gomo sim and discard my other gomo sim. Is this safe? I get my OTPs here and a bit nervous since I learned about the sim swap scam.

    Should be safe since there's incoming sms and call function even if you only have data credits so otp should be fine.

    Thanks, one more question, where or how did you process it, online thru globe one or physical store?

    For globe you send USC to 5050 using the number you want replaced. They'll send an sms with a link to set an appointment. From what I recall you can choose to set the appointment by either going to a store of your choice or virtual by having an agent call you. You'll get an SMS confirmation. On the date of appointment, whether you go to a physical store or virtual, it should just last less than 5 minutes and the agent should be able to process the USC request and you'll get the code via SMS. If there's a problem with your number then it takes longer. When you get the code, go to the gomo site to apply specifically clicking "keep my existing number" so it'll lead you to make a purchase for the sim for switching. When it arrives, place the new sim in the phone then input the details needed. I made sure the current globe is still active so I can see what happens. In about 10 mins the globe sim loses signal. The gomo SIM will take some time for the porting to finish. Some say 30 mins while others say a couple hours. Mine was done in about 45 mins. Make sure data is turned on even if you're connected to wifi. I think that's something needed because when it was turned off the sim kept on showing a notification that it's processing the request and wait and it kept repeating over and over. Then I remembered gomo is really data based so I checked the phone settings. After turning data on, a message appeared that porting is done. Then you register on the app and that's it.
