  1. Guessing your phone wasn’t on Airplane Mode and you flew over the UK?

  2. The old government came back while you were away. Turn on the news.

  3. Those lads behind the FAI programs got a new job it would seem.

  4. You likely flew over the UK and your phone pinged a tower but you were too high up and/or moving too fast to actually receive texts, so you didn’t get it until you landed.

  5. As someone who lives on the border of Donegal and Derry, even travelling on the southern border will give this message, it’s just how Three roaming works when it comes to bouncing signals off service masts. We still have 26 counties so you can breathe.

  6. Oh, well, there’s been a few changes while you were away!! We all voted, and that didn’t work, so desperate times and all that!

  7. There’s a beach in south Wicklow that either has zero service or you suddenly get teleported across the Irish Sea and end up on their networks and you get a text like this.

  8. I’ve been living in NYC for over a year and Three sends me these a few times a week still. I think what happens is I lose reception on the subway and when it reconnects it acts like I just got into the country.

  9. In some parts of Derry we get the Welcome to Ireland text

  10. Know the feeling. I’m from the North and get the Welcomes to Ireland all the time. My Google memories have my “Trips to Ireland”.

  11. I live on the border in Donegal, have to put up with Vodafone welcoming me for my visit to the UK several times per day. I have asked them about stopping those texts, nothing they can do apparently!

  12. Yeah. They re-conquered the country last week while everyone was distracted watching the election counts on the telly. There are still some rebel holdouts in Cork.
