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.

Managed to create a new account now. But it didn't work via the app - only the website. It would also be great if you could add an overview of the remaining roaming data allowance - thanks!

14 days and counting, still can’t get to my online accounts! The information and excuses are woeful. What is happening, when will this be fixed, I’m sick of the “just bear with us” messages and the boast that 100,000 accounts are working well on the new App. Awful, just awful 😞

Morning @IDmanleeds,

Great to hear you’ve registered through My Account Online. From what I understand, as you’re registered, you should now be able to log-in to the iD Mobile app.

Thank you for the suggestion, in the interim, you can calculate your Data Roaming Limit before you travel: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming/fair-usage-policy.

Thanks.

Morning @Debsians,

If you have not yet registered, you should be able to online, at my.idmobile.co.uk. Try using an Incognito / Private Tab. If you are having a different issue, please reply to this message.

Thanks.

Yep - that’s right. I managed to get into the app now as well.

If you could still forward the suggestion to the app developer team that would be great and much more convenient for your consumers (I know that giffgaff does this for example).

Thanks!

Went to check my useage last night and started this whole "we've updated our app" malarkey. I got the 'bear with us message' last night so I've tried again just now and, after waiting 5 minutes or so in the 'virtual queue' I enter my first name, second name, password and then confirm my password and ....... Get a message saying that password should not contain first name, last name or email ........ IT DIDN'T!

thanks @Matthew Thompson  I did not have to use Incognito / Private Tab, it just worked for me via my.idmobile.co.uk i was put in a queue. Setting up the account took a couple of tries as the password element, kept asking me not to use an email address :) there was no @ or anything that resembled my name or an email address in the password, so i think the backend needs to be looked at. But finally i can access via browser on the PC.  Now to sort the mobile app out.

I’ve had the same thing all day today. That was after two weeks of the “Bear with us” page, there is obviously a major issue with this new app, however nobody seems bothered about it. I have made an official complaint which seems to be the only option to get customer service to listen to the problem. Although they say I will be contacted by the Complaints Team within 3 days, I shall not be holding my breath!

Been an I.D. customer for years.  Am classified as vulnerable due to brain injury.

I have tried at least 15 times to Register for the new APP...says phone too old...which is rollocks!

So tried via Web.  Eventually at 0745 this morning it says ‘success’ (after c10 x attempts).  BUT it won’t allow me to input the telephone number...just get the “oops there’s a problem try again”...so USELESS.

This is a total nightmare...locked out with mobile AND computer.  I NEED to know Data useage regularly…  I have slow broadband so can’t sit on LIVE CHAT for hours only to be told nothing new.  

Who cares about 100k customer have reg’d...that was 14 days ago!  And if you’ve only 100k customers then not much of a company!  More likely about 1% have registered - 99% with NO access due to faulty software upgrade... 

Will I.D. give ALL its customers a £10+ CREDIT for this hassle (turn it into a positive marketing nightmare!)...as it’s a real farce for an I.T. focussed company?! 

Meanwhile, if I go over my data, as it is NOT my fault your system is faulty, blocking me, I shall assume I.D. Mobile will waive all penalties UNTIL your website is in full working order as I do believe it is contracted to do.

I shall keep trying to input my phone number to link to the ‘new ac’...but might die meanwhile with the time it’s taking…!

I have tried a number of times but still cannot get onto my account on app or web.

 

The web asks me,(after a long wait) to

Create account.

Please tell us your name and create a secure password for the email address .

 

But when I put a password in, sometimes it just loops back to the same screen and other times I get the message..

Password must not include first name, last name or email.

BUT I have not used any of them. its a random password!

 

Been at this 2 hours now and even the chat were totaly unhelpful

I try to register to my account on this new bogus app.

It keeps asking for password with no first name or last name or email.

Demand special characters blablah blah. 

I have now tried all the possible ways of making any password but system won't allow me

Issue is not making a new app only but also it is demanding a password for Fort Knox. 

 

How are we going to be paying without seeing what we are using? 

 

I have been on computer for almost 3 hours and no way I can see my account nor can I make a password word. 

It's system is denied all the possible password on earth. Lord of passwords has fainted.

Can someone please wake up and fix this issues with app.

In Kenya, somaliland, Uganda, all this countries mobile are seriously perfect in Africa. 

Thus this is UK, we are being ripped off daily. .…

No compensation for list money and data while we all whinning about the same issue. 

100.000 people have access, !  What's that got to do with me, I need to see what I pay for the app. 

Honesty shames no one,.. I took hat off for my b..…

But my id mobile app is down for weeks.

Today I was added ons for 3gb £ 8 worth of GB without me asking for it while I was chatting with Mr. Chimusa I'd mobile employee. 

You steal from vulnerable people who chat in to ask why app is not working. 

If I had my app working I wouldn't have ran out of data. 

You made us lose money. 

How can you put money in prepaid meter if you can not see balance. 

It's a reap off. 

I am tired.

I too got stuck in the cloudflare queue for ages and when I finally got the registration page got the “Password must not include first name, last name or email” error. Took a look at the network tab on developer tools for my browser and could see a Post request being sent and a response with the error message. Looks like some server side validation is throwing an exception and returning a default message.

I clearly missed the memo … do all existing customers have to create an account all over again?

 

Both on the app and online I am being asked to register an account … which I thought I already did years ago and use on a monthly basis.

Morning @Debsians,

We understand the rollout of the iD Mobile app has not gone as expected. However, we continue to make steps in the right direction daily. While not ideal, this article provides an alternative process for customers for all, bar one, functions of the app. Is there a particular action you’d like to do, or have you now successfully registered?

Thanks.

Morning @Ruggy,

Are you still facing issues adding your mobile number to the iD Mobile app? If so, please reply to this message and I’ll send you a Private Message to figure out why. If you need to check your Data Usage, the quickest way to do so is to call our Automated Phone Service (7777 using an iD Mobile SIM, 0333 003 7777 from any other device).
