Using gomo in the USA

I have an ordinary gomo account and am currently in the US

I only need data roaming for calling an Uber or google maps but it's odd

When I tried to use it yesterday to call an Uber it wasn't working. Then I found a text from gomo

so I went back into a wifi area and clicked on that and it was ok.

But today, I was completely stuck as I was not in a wifi area. Am I doing something wrong?
 
Are you sure that the link in that message is legit?
It looks odd and doesn't seem to be from GoMo.
The '-' before "com" seems very strange.

Edit: oh, maybe it is legit. Not exactly obvious though...

All that GoMo seem to say about non-EU roaming is this:
gomo.ie

Why can’t I connect to data while I am roaming?​

If you cannot connect to data while roaming:
  1. Check data settings to ensure your mobile data roaming is enabled.
  2. If you are roaming outside of the EU, make sure you have accepted all relevant T&C’s when prompted.

Yeah that's how it works in the USA you need to click on the link and activate it, looks old and archaic but that's the gomo system.

When you're out and about and mobile data isn't working does it make any difference if you switch off WiFi and then try to access that roamingalerts link? Seems confusing but that seems to be what GoMo suggest in that X/Twitter post...
 
Thanks for the ideas.

I had wifi switched off. or maybe i was just out of range

Anyway, I switched it off just now to check. I had data roaming on.

I tried to access the internet and no joy. No text either.

so i clicked on the text from yesterday and got this

I am not going to spend a fortune in frustration waiting for eir to answer and then not to be able to fix it
 
Login to your gomo.ie account then next time you are connected via wifi. You can chat to a support agent for free.
 
Update

I think I have set this up correctly. despite the appallingly complex instructions.

Anyway I am accessing data so I hope it's not via the ordinary expensive Gomo
 
eSims are supported on iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and iPhone 14, and later. Gomoworld do a eSim thats good value if you run out of data.

You can contact them via chat and they will tell you. Gomo are actually helpful like that.
