FAQs

 

When will the new iD Mobile app and My Account online be available?

Steps are being made in the right direction to improve the stability and performance of the iD Mobile app and My Account online. We’ll continue to update this Community Article as we have more information.

 

Why can’t you roll back to the old iD Mobile app?

The technology powering the previous version of the iD Mobile app was old and restrictive, which meant we were unable to develop it further. The old app had some issues, such as customers being unable to view bills on newer Android devices. It was simply unsustainable to continue with that version and also unsuitable to enable exciting future products, such as eSIM.

 

Why do I need to re-register for the new iD Mobile app?

To enable new features, such as adding multiple plans, we require customers to re-register via the app or My Account online.

I still can’t login to my account via app or website. I just get the ‘wait 24 hours’ holding page. How can a company of this size function when customers can’t access their online account for not just days but weeks?!

(have updated app, tried via icognito etc on web and mobile, on and off wifi)

Morning @adown,

Sorry to hear you are experiencing these issues. Over the last few days, we have had to switch off the iD Mobile app & My Account Online while we test new fixes. As of now, it is unavailable, as we test a couple new fixes.

Thanks.

Morning @KeithWM,

Thank you for confirming. I’ve checked with the team, this is due to an API error - which is affecting a small subset of customers, not just those on Unlimited Plans. The good news, an expected fix is currently being Beta tested, so expect it to be resolved soon!

Thanks.

Can you give / us a definitive time scale to sort this fiasco out? You said the "good news is" you should refrain from using such statements when obviously you can't back them up.

I can access the app sometimes but when I do my allowances are still the same as they were days ago so obviously not live information.

 

Please advise and FIX!!!


Hi @KeithWM,

We will be updating this article once the fixes are in place and the app is fully functional for all customers. 

Thanks.

I open the app and I am told I need to instal an updated version which I do -and what happens after I’ve done that -I get the green screen with ID mobile in the middle and that’s it . No screen to enter a password or anything .

Totally useless. How much are the people who attempted to create the new app on? 

Hey @redlew,

Is this issue on-going? Are you using an Android or iPhone? I often find if an app doesn’t work a Force Quit of the application or a restart of your phone fixes things!

Thanks.

Android . Tried everything. Cleared cache, cleared data, forced stop . Uninstalled and reinstalled . Switched phone off and on. Open the app , get the green screen with ID mobile logo in the middle -and that’s it. The previous app worked perfectly -why oh oh why fix something that ain’t broke? 

What can I do now? 

Hi @redlew,

Which Make & Model are you using? I’ll pass this feedback to the team.

Thanks.

Absolutely crap, releasing new app and so on, broken and not tested. Testing on live users… your IT bosses should be fired. 

Can’t top up, chat redirects to 7777 where you cannot top-up, it redirects to app, that doesn’t work.

The best can be done is just to leave this crap provider, never had so many issues from day 1.

Better to stay away from ID (crap) mobile.

Morning @lkalskdall,

Did you have an opportunity to speak to our Live Chat agents? If not, they should be able to help. Try saying “Speak to an agent” in the chatbox till you get through to someone!

Thanks.

Thanks, I know you are doing your best (you as Matthew). However I need something more reliable than ID Mobile, so I’m moving to Lebara, they have much better reviews on trustpilot, and 12-month unlimited UK plan, with 30gb roaming EU data, for 22.50 a month, a bit more expensive than iD mobile, but reputation matters.

OK so my monthly renewal is today 19th of April.  My data has been renewed. It should be noted that my minutes and texts have not they ate still the same as yesterday. It may be that the app is displaying false information.  If it not and they have not been renewed then that I am afraid will be the last straw.

Please advise by return when will this be sorted put. Please do not give me the same lame excuse about someone working on it. They went to the moon quicker!!!

Been trying to upgrade for days now - tried at various times & just keep getting the ‘oops! Something went wrong’ 😑 error! 

Not sure who decided that trialling the new app with live customers was a good idea but it’s not the best way to keep them! 

Nearly 2 weeks since my comment and well over a month since this thread started, still can’t get on to register, well done ID 

moved a bit further apparently I’m in a queue which is paused 🤣 fml

 

i will be looking elsewhere for my family upgrades
