I can't call anyone.

Hello. I can't call anyone, I've tried on several phones and I'm not successful. Can I cancel the connection before the 14 days have passed?

What happens when you try to make a call?

Any error messages?

Do you have an active membership plan?

When were you last able to make calls ok?

Can you receive calls, send/receive texts, use mobile data?

What 14 days are you referring to?

Do you mean this?

I can receive calls and messages.
I have said that I pay my bill every month, do I have to pay in advance or top up, I don't understand anything?

What is my Account Number?

Re: I can't call anyone.

dalyer — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 20:10:01 GMT

There is no account number with 48.

People keep asking about this:

https://community.48.ie/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?advanced=false&allow_punctuation=false&q=Account%20number

Your account is identified by your email address/phone number.

Why are you looking for an account number?

If you are looking for it in order to port your number from 48 to another provider then you're probably choosing the wrong account type.

You need to choose registered prepay.

I don't know why that would be.

What exactly does she say?

Is this when you call any number?

Can you SEND texts and use mobile data?

You need a monthly membership plan in order to use outgoing services on 48 - i.e. make calls, send texts and use mobile data (other than the free Introductory 1GB of 4G data).

I already posted a link about this above.

Then I have a question, do I have postpaid or prepaid?

Re: I can't call anyone.

dalyer — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 20:43:22 GMT

48 is prepay only.

I already posted the link that explains how monthly membership plans work twice.

I have 2 more numbers that I would like to add to my existing one and pay for all three, how can I do that?

Re: I can't call anyone.

You can only have one phone number linked to a SIM.

That's the one that's listed here:

https://48.ie/my48/settings/my-details

You also can't use a single My48 account login to manage more than one SIM/membership/number etc.

Unlike some other mobile providers 48 don't support family/group accounts that allow this.

If you want to use two other numbers on 48 then you need to create two new My48 accounts using two different email addresses, order two separate new SIMs, then set them up as you did with your original SIM and port the two numbers over, one to each SIM.
