I get an error message when adding surname, dob and mobile number online and on the app - is there a fix for this?

Hey @daveylivi,

It looks like you already have an iD Mobile app account set up with a different email address, that has linked to your phone number successfully on the 11th April. Are you trying to re-register with a different email? If so, this will be causing the 'details not matched' error. Thanks.

Hi

I've got the same problem. when I input my personal info (Surname, DOB, iD Number), i get an error telling me something there is wrong.

I registered the SIM card months ago, but I don't remember including DOB.

Any help would be great

Hi All,

I have changed to an eSIM account for my grandsons A16 iPad, while the data works without issue,I am now unable to receive a text confirmation to allow access to the app or online?

can anyone advise please

iD Mobile plans are for use with phones @Paul D 1971, not tablets. An iPad cannot receive SMS messages via cellular so you have to install the eSIM on a phone first, request the code and then install the eSIM back on the iPad.

Hi @Paul D 1971

As @WelshPaul mentioned, you will need to insert a SIM card in a mobile phone so you can get the text as iPad cannot receive texts messages.

You can contact the live chat on: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat for assistance in getting another eSIM or physical SIM card.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I note the requirement for a physical sim to set-up but unfortunately the iPad only uses a digital sim now and as you note cannot accept texts.

Unless I was issued a duplicate sim it is not practical, surely a secure email should allow access to the app

That’s what you need to do regardless of whether it’s practical.
