We've launched a new iD Mobile app!

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve launched a new iD Mobile app packed with great new features and improvements!

Over the past year, we’ve been working hard on completely redesigning the iD Mobile app. The new app has been built with our customers’ feedback at the forefront of design and development, so we’re confident that anyone who used the old iD Mobile app will really appreciate the improvements.

So, what’s changed?

  • Manage multiple plans – If you’ve got more than one iD Mobile plan, you can now manage them all from a single login. No more logging in and out!
  • New design - Whether you’re checking your allowances, changing your Bill cap, or updating your personal info, the new app has been designed to make sure you’re able to do exactly what you need – easier than ever before.
  • Improved performance – The new app uses the latest technologies to improve stability, performance, and security.   

If you’re new to iD or have the old version of the app, you can download the new version from the App Store or the Google Play Store.

If you’ve previously registered for the old app, you’ll need to re-register for the new one. Sorry about that - but it’ll be worth it!

Your Feedback Matters

Let us know what you think of the new iD Mobile app below! Or if you’ve got a great idea for a new feature that’s not currently not in the app, or you’re experiencing any issues, you can create a ‘New App Feedback’ topic, and track the progress of your feedback here. Our team of moderators and developers are on hand to provide further support.

Shout-outs!

We’d like to give a special shoutout to our Community superusers, who helped with testing the app prior to launch. So, thank you to:

If you need more info about the app, you can view our FAQs here.

    Tried registering on the new app but it never sends me a passcode via text, tried multiple times.

    At last.. after promising for many years I'll be able to have both contracts in one place.

    It's a shame that the SMS code needed to finish registration doesn't arrive.

    I have unistalled and reinstalled 4 times. It still won't even register me. I've been with iD for approx 6 years plus, same number but when I add my details and click submit to get a text verification code, nothing. 10 times I've tried, send another. Then went on line to website and it says I'm not registered. Recognises my number but not name or password.

    Supposed to pay my bill today, I can't because of this new stupid app. 

     

    Registered using my previous email on my other account, trying to add my phone number and it won't even load past that screen, it did once and then it never sent my pass code. Absolutely ridiculous and now I can't pay my phone bill! Shocking.

    So now I cant login to the web interface, the new app doesn’t work and you cant register as it never sends a passcode via text, so you have no control of your own account. Time for my PAC, hopefully that still works.

    Looks like some fixes this morning, managed to roll back my Android app to version 5.2 and working again, just turned auto-updates off so it doesn't update to the new one again.

    I don’t understand why we have to have two accounts with the new app, one for the app and one for the web, why don’t my credentials get recognised from my web account?

    Hi @Jeez,

    Thanks for your feedback and taking the time to post.

    Yes, unfortunately we fixed part of the issue but there is still some errors appearing on the dashboard and plans screen for unlimited customers. We hope it’s fixed on Monday, or at least, very early next week. It’s our top priority bug for the dev team to resolve as we start to ramp up the number of users getting the new apps.

    This particular issue affects customers on unlimited plans that have never done a plan change. Interestingly, customers that change from a standard plan to unlimited display fine with no errors.

    Cheers!

    Hi. I have multiple SIM cards with id Mobile.

     

    My big concern would be that with this app on multiple users phones (i.e family children or if using for staff) that the person responsible for paying the account/bills is unable to prevent the users from upgrading their packages.

     

    I don't have the new app on my phone. ( Google must not like me). 

     

    My son and daughter had new phones which installed Android 14 ( mine is still Android 11). Maybe that was one of the Google Play Store Selection criteria? 

     

    On my daughter's phone I installed the id mobile app so she could track her data and usage.  It was a shocker!!!! 

     

    She could "Click here to upgrade to 12 months on **GB for £*" ...one click by a user and then I was contracted to id....   I removed access immediately before I was signed up to some contract.

     

    I pay the bill. I want her,my daughter ,to have access to the App. But I don't want her signing me up to new contract (limited or unlimited !)

     

    And I want to see the NEW app on my phone before it goes on the phones of the SIM cards I currently pay for.

     

    I think there may be a few more weeks yet before the new APP is rolled out.

     

     

    Thank you

    Hi @mikemod , @Glenharris81@Sarah Morgan , @UnhappyCustomer96 ,

    I’m very sorry about the issues you had with the one-time password. Unfortunately, we had a system issue on Monday, which meant these codes were not sent as expected. Could you please try again using the app? The new website will now launch early next week, so only the apps have been updated to the new version so far. 

    Customers also need to re-register, as we’ve completely overhauled our identity management solution. Re-registering may be frustrating (particularly if the OTP wasn’t coming through), but it will enhance security and allow for great new features like managing multiple plans with a single login. It should only take a couple of minutes to get set up. 

    This is just the start of our complete rebuild, and we’ve got many great features in the pipeline to come. 

    Apologies again!

    Thanks,

    Kieran

    The first page, the home page seems to be working now. But the plan page still gives me no details and still has the “oops…something went wrong” with the Try Again button. I press that and the same thing, oops….

    Hi @Jeez ,

    Is this now working for you? Some updates have been released this week, which should’ve solved the issue.

    Thanks,
