lost sim while travelling

Hello, please anyone help if they can.i lost my sim while travelling. Contacted ID support asking to get an e-sim replacement as my contract is now over anyways. They said that they would have to ring me but they wouldn’t call me internationally. I’m not planning on being back in the U.K. for a while. I also can’t get into the app because it requires an otp verification via text ( which I can’t recieve) Any ideas or help?I can recieve messages and calls via WhatsAppThanks very much.

iphone 15 connected to Wifi and data but apps not working

Hi I have recently changed to ID mobile and since Sunday afternoon I can’t use any of my apps etc. I have tried them when connected to wifi and mobile data but the apps have returned an error message that I am not connected to the internet. What’s app has the spinning wheel saying connecting. App notifications are however received if my phone is locked and iMessages are also delivering correctly. I have no idea where to start checking what has happened. I have restarted my phone many times, put in airport mode etc and don’t know what to try next. Any ideas??

unable to make calls/ access internet

I posted earlier and received good advice to contact the live chat. After over an hour on the chat, the advisor has come back and said there is a fault whereby some customers cannot call out which is my main problem. I also cannot get internet unless I am at home. I can’t tell if I am being fobbed off. The advisor tried a eSIM which came through but made no difference at all! Can anyone advise on this please? Thank you.

PLEASE help me! New SIM & approved phone - Can't make or receive calls

Hi all 👋I know this has been asked a lot and I apologise for adding yet another post but I can’t find a definitive answer and I am so depressed over this😢So, please can you just take a minute or two to read through my post to see if you can help 🙏🏻My phone is a SAMSUNG GALAXY J4+ (2018) Model: SM-J415FNI have just swapped from SMARTY Mobile (to iD) as they did not ‘support’ my phone model and because of this I was unable to receive or make calls as I had no VoLTE/4G calling support (3G got switched off here in the Midlands at the end of April) although I could still send/receive texts and use data. I did contact their web chat who suggested a replacement SIM but when I got one I still had the same problem.So, before I moved over I checked the iD ‘Approved phones’ list and my device was on there YAY🎉!!!!!Unfortunately, since swapping over (Wed 15/04/24) I still can’t make or receive calls as the phone says ’calling’ but doesn’t ‘ring’ and doesn’t connect 😤 (I rang my home phone t

new number,

My new phone is now using a new phone number, not the one I’d asked to be transferred from old phone. Also previous account still active. Should the PAC code not have stopped that?

Issue with porting

Good morning. I have read various tutorials and posts but I can’t quite see my issue. I have followed the PAC instructions and received confirmation that my old number would move by the 14th of May. Right enough, my old sim stopped working on the morning of the 14th so I popped my new ID Mobile sim in. I cannot call or message anyone but they can call me. I can access the internet at home. I have checked coverage here at work and 4G is excellent (I am at a rural school so no 5G for me here!) . I have the wifi symbol and where the signal bars usually are, there are 4 dots. I have switched it off and on, put into airplane mode and taken it out, cleaned the sim and all the rest of it. Not sure what else to do? Many thanks.

Dropped Phone

Unfortunately I dropped my phone (Pixel 7) and now it's not turning on. I know I might be able to get it repaired but that will probably be more than the cost of the phone. I would like to stay in this contract but not due a upgrade until more then 500 days. What are my options, I didn't take out extra insurance.

Transferring number

I have just obtained a new iPhone from ID. I was with 3 mobile and wanted to transfer my number to the new phone. I understand that ID use 3 mobile but I couldn’t work out how to request the transfer without obtaining a PAC code from 3.Having obtained the code I submitted it to ID and selected the date, (21/5 was the earliest), for the number to be transferred but I’m worried that I might not have followed the correct procedure?Can anyone confirm that I’ve done the right thing and if the number doesn’t transfer tomorrow who do I contact and how?

RCS Chat Samsung S24 Ultra still using old number

I have had my Sim since Saturday, and the port went through on Monday, in my About Phone the number has changed to my ported number, the one I wanted, but in RCS Chat it will not change, no matter what I do.I have followed every instruction I have found and still the number that the Sim arrived with is the only number that RCS Chat will useWhy is it so hard to sort these issues?I left Smarty after a month because of this failure, I don’t want to have to do it again!Some people are getting messages form the SIM number supplied, not my own ported number i have had for years!
