I’ve just had my phone number fraudantly ported to another service provider. Assume my ID Mobile account was hacked. ID Mobile unable/unwilling to do anything and won’t even tell me which service provider my number was ported to!

I’ve just had the same issue and now no longer have access to a number I’ve had for nearly 15 years…!!! 
Beyond pissed with ID Mobile as each time I’ve used the online chat there’s been little or no help and nothing seems to be happening.

Logged a complaint via the complaints email address today and this evening received a response to say that the email address is no longer in use!

can’t call ID Mobile, can’t log a complaint with ID Mobile and online chat is as much use as the proverbial chocolate fire guard

Beyond frustrated - I just want my phone number back

The iD Mobile network hasn’t been hacked… If your number has been hijacked, then whoever did it had access to your phone, account or knows your personal details and contacted the network and obtained a PAC by speaking to a live chat agent. Given the amount of personal information many people post on this community, it’s not surprising to me that so much fraud is reported on this community forum.

Anyway, iD Mobile won’t have any control over the number once it leaves their network. They will have to contact the gaining network and initiate whatever process is in place to retrieve the number. As you have raised a complaint iD Mobile are aware of your issue and are acting on it. Sadly, this won’t be a quick process! Good luck

I don’t think he’s been able to lodge his complaint; use social media to send them a message on your issue.
