Hi

Iv recently re-joined ID mobile

I'm well aware of the issues with the app where you can't use the same email address to login.  

I have another email address I can use but my problem is I am using the same mobile number as before and I am unable to register because its in the system!

so, I can't use my old email address and now i also can't use my phone number.

I have zero access to my account!

Can anyone help?

Thanks

You should be able to access your iD account using their automated phone service, by calling 7777 from your iD SIM @cash87.

I don't think having an old iD account with the same telephone number should stop you registering for a new iD account @cash87.

I was in exactly the same position when I rejoined iD Mobile, and was able to register for a new iD account with a different username (email address). I then had two iD accounts (with different account numbers), which had the same mobile number.

    Hey @cash87,

    Having the same number shouldn’t stop you registering.

    You can still follow the steps to register for an iD account.

    What error do you get if you try and register this way?

    Hi there

     

    I have the same issue.. I have rejoined ID and ported the same old number back. The service is fine however I can't register for online account even with a differnt e-mail address. 

    Thr error message simply says ' there is a problem' and I have no way of being able to rectify it as it doesn't give me an option to go anywhere else. 

     

    Can anyone help please
