I ended up leaving. It's not worth paying for 5g when you have a 5g phone that id mobile advertised as 5g yet doesn't work on their network at 5g - baffling. On the other network, it's worked perfectly on 5g from the instant I swapped the SIM cards.

Hi @Max Festus Omorogbe, could you be a little (a lot) more specific in your post so we can provide some assistance?

 

Thank you,

I don’t know what is wrong with my id mobile  because I can’t be paying 70 something pounds a month without the network not working and the contract says is 5g network 

Wow, that’s a lot of money each month - does anything work?

The list is just those devices that iD have actually tested with their 5G service.

If you’ve got a 5G device not on the iD list, it may very well work perfectly, but if it doesn’t don’t expect any help from iD.

Hello!

Just trying to get some clarity here, please :)

In some replies you make it seem that any 5G device should, theoretically, work with your 5G network but only the ones you list here are certain that they will work. In at least one reply, however, you claim the Realme X50, for example, is not supported at all on your 5G network.

Can you clarify the 5G status for devices not on this list and if there's a blacklist of devices that are certainly not compatible with your network?

Thanks in advance, Sully

There are no Sony phones on the list.

I have a Sony Xperia 1 ii which has 5G band 78NSA.

When will this be supported please?

Thanks,Michael

You can use workarounds to get 5g connection on your phone.  Samsung Band Selection is a good one. Just an app in play store.  5G worked fine for me on ID, then android 12 update got rid of it.  Now I use band selection app when I want to pick up the 5G signal again.  

Hope this helps someone. 

What about the OPPO Find X2 Neo? It worked fine with 5G on Three so why not ID?

As you've tested later models I fear you'll skip this one and I'll have to change network again.

You don't seem to reply to these messages very often - it appears you are just as slow at updates as you are testing!!

5G is here!

Device Testing:

 

As our 5G network continues to be rolled out, the list of devices will continue to grow every time a new 5G enabled device is released and the more devices we start to test. Check back to this article regularly so you don’t miss out.  

I have the realme GT2pro and have done since it's UK release in March this year...since then over 30 different phones have been released by various companies...all have 5g capacity and only a handful have been tested by your company - your testing process needs a jolly good shake up and move some fingers out of various holes and hurry up testing some other brands....realme is one of the fastest growing mobile phone company's and yet non of their phones feature in your device list...i find this rather odd!! Please hurry up and test this phone so I can make full use of its specs, or I am affraid i may be forced to look elsewhere

 

I have a 5g phone (an oppo reno4 pro 5g) which ID previously sold. Yet I cannot get 5g on your network. Is there any particular reason why you only allow 5g on specific phones, unlike every other mobile network? If not, can you give any compelling reason not to leave for another network?

Hi @Freestuff, the Realme X50 is not supported on iD 5G. Sorry to disappoint.

 

Thank you,

Rory

So my Realme X50 5G Global Edition   mobile phone worked seamlessly on 5G when I was a THREE customer.

Since moving to ID Mobile no 5G is available 😞 and the 5G data toggle disappears from ‘my network settings’ when the ID Mobile sims is used. ID says that 5G is Live in L32 0TJ area but still no connection.

This is very strange Given that ID use Three’s network and I could get a solid 5G signal in this area using a THREE sim card.

 

If I put a Three, Vodafone, 02 or EE sim card the 5G toggle is present in ‘my network settings’  and can be switched on and used.

What’s going wrong with ID?

 

Please add Realme GT 5G.

Yes, add this phone to compatibility list please, master edition

This means that we will not be able to provide you with any help or support with a 5G device that is not compatible with our network because we have not officially tested it. However, just because we have not tested the 5G device ourselves. It does not mean that the device will not be able to connect to our network.

I hope that helps answer your question.

Hello

That is understandable, I was indeed curious because it would be nice to have the 5G once in a while (I don’t yet live in 5G area).

So even if it doesn’t get tested the smartphones will at some point receive a iD network information update to be able to connect to the 5G network? as our 5G phones are just limited by the automatic network selection from iD (preferred network type: 4G/3G/2GAuto)

 

Many Thanks!

Hi @Taimur, haha don’t worry, I am happy to answer this. 

So with all 5G compatible devices that are launched on the market, they all have a chance/there is a possibility that these devices will in fact work on our iD 5G network. However, some available 5G devices will not be tested or will not be officially approved for use on our network. 

This means that we will not be able to provide you with any help or support with a 5G device that is not compatible with our network because we have not officially tested it. However, just because we have not tested the 5G device ourselves. It does not mean that the device will not be able to connect to our network.

I hope that helps answer your question.

Hey @AndyX2Pro 

No problem at all. 

Unfortunately there are no current plans to test the X2 Pro. We are constantly working with our network partners Three and suppliers to expand our list of 5G compatible devices.

In regards to the ideation board, my vision is for it to work how you describe, so let’s see!

We are aiming tor a January/February launch.

Hope my answer helps and thanks for your question :grinning:

Emil

Hello Emil

Sorry for be a pain like many others 🙂 but why isn’t Oppo Find X2 Pro in the list?? 

5 months ago (reference to the quoted comment) you said there weren’t any plans.

But what about at the moment?? I can see the Find x3 Neo is on the list which has the exact same snapdragon chipset as the Find x2 Pro (Snapdragon 865) on that base it should be a viable phone to be compatible with 5G ID Network :)  

 

Kind Regards

Taimur

@Flatcap If it is a 5G enabled device, their is a possibility that it will be able to still connect to the iD 5G network. However, we have no current plans to range or officially test this device for compatibility. 

Emil

Are you likley to include OnePlus on your list of compatible phones? The Nord 2 5G in particular.
