Since moving a year ago I can only make calls and connect to the internet on id_mobile in onr corner of my bedroom, bit of a shame my friends are on 2 other tariffs get strong signals. As I will end my contract in a couple of months just wondering if anything can be done as I would have otherwise stayed with Id mobile. I see there are devices called signal boosters but assume as they are expensive this couldn’t be offered as a possible solution.
Solved

Unfortunately iD Mobile don’t sell a signal booster,
The UK mobile network operators solution to bad/no indoor coverage is a WiFi Calling service.
Assuming you’ve got a handset iD support for WiFi Calling and a home Wi-Fi network, iD WiFi Calling might solve the coverage issue at your location.
Living in a mobile not-spot, I rely on using my service provider’s WiFi Calling service, which works well for me.

It’s frustrating to have limited signal! A mobile signal booster in the UK might help, even if it's a bit pricey upfront. They’re great for amplifying weak signals indoors. You can check out options here: Best Mobile Signal Boosters in the UK https://www.uctel.co.uk/blog/best-mobile-signal-boosters-in-the-uk. Also, switching providers to one with better coverage in your area could be beneficial long-term.
It’s genuinely disappointing to have to consider switching providers due to coverage issues, especially when you’re otherwise satisfied. While Wi-Fi Calling is certainly a helpful feature, it doesn’t always address every connectivity need or work seamlessly for all users or devices. You’re right to consider signal boosters; they are a proven technology for amplifying weak outdoor signals indoors, providing a strong and consistent connection. They represent an investment, but for many, the benefit of reliable indoor coverage across an entire home outweighs the cost. To learn more about how they work, different types available, and to explore solutions that might fit your specific situation, I recommend looking at resources like https://www.myamplifiers.com/ for expert insights.
Did anyone resolve this issue? I am looking into signal boosters now.
