remove ID mobile tv advert!!

I’m writing to ID mobile it tell them why their advert needs to be removed from the tv with the jokes that irritate u so much as there soo poor u forgot what the idea of the advert is about. Funniest enough I typed into Google, “annoying jokes in tv advert uk” as if forgot what the company was even called with the distress of such irritating annoying jokes, funniest enough I seen I’d mobile and emerged straight away. U wanty Chuck the tely out listening to them and who over constructed the idea of using s***** puns as jokes to advertise the company and catch the eye should be In a different line of work. It’s an absolute irritable time to watch the tely when the ID mobile adverts come on. This is clearly a trend considering I forgot the name of the company after watching the irratiting annoying advert of Jokes and I managed to Find the company just by typing “annoying uk tv joke advert” that’s says it all. I can’t be the only the one and I imagaine everything is feelings no mutual and

poor signal

I have very poor network signal despite living in the city centre. Noone can ever hear me on the other end of the line its very frustrating 😒.  Despite checking the signal strength I the area and it says its very strong, I still struggle to make calls. WiFi calling is not any better either. Complained to ID few times but noone seem to reply or even  other to acknowledge that some customers gave problems and gave to live with them day and night. Such a poor customer service guessing reflecting the network service. Can't wait to leave ID and would not reccomend to anyone. Please avoid iff you can

Switching from another provider

Hello I have recently heard of the amazingly good package deals with iD Mobile and thought this would be a brilliant chance to make a switch as I really need to save money. I am currently on a contract with EE and wondered do I need to wait for this contract to end/pay it off myself or do iD offer to pay off contracts on the basis you then switch to them? I contacted GiffGaff about this once before and they said as they don't do contracts only pay as you go then the ozone must be provided yourself. Thank you

Paying for contract which supposted to be cancelled already .

Hi. I'm paying for contract which supposed to be cancelled already. I've bought a contract with phone through carphone warehouse. But within 14 days cooling off period I've rang  carphone warehouse and cancelled this contract. It was around month ago. A couple of days ago I've spotted that my direct debit is active and that I've paid for first month of contract. This is contract for 24 months. So right now I'm paying for something I don't have and don't use. I've tried to find phone number to you guys but I couldn't.

Number did not port from VOXI

I signed up for ID mobile last week (Wednesday) and signed to port my number in the process. I was with voxi and received my PAC code from them. On my invoice, it states my phone number as the number I wish to change to, whereas in the app it says that my phone number is a brand new number. It does not appear that my number has changed. According to their website, I have 7 days left of my voxi account. Is this the issue? Will it port after my voxi account has closed?

confused over number transfer time

Hi- when I ordered my new sim I entered pac code etc into the order. I was asked to choose a transfer date and all dates were greyed out til around 9th May. My new sim has come and I want to transfer my number asap but when I put the details in online in my account it says that there is an error with the information and to try again. I have no clue when my phone number is going to transfer over as some articles say next day, but when I created my ID account online it said it will be on the date I chose. I don’t want to use the new sim number for 2 weeks. How can I get my number transfers asap before the bank holiday? Thank you

New phone contract is working but old phone number has not transferred

I started a new contract with ID mobile and the PAC code was completed in store at Curry's...my new phone is working but it is not using my old number. My old number has not transferred over yet and it has been over the time period set by ID. It should be working by now?? This means my sons emergency hospital appointments and specialist doctors cannot contact me as they have my old number as a contact number and when you ring it it states the number cannot be reached.... Please help ASAP!!!

PAC code

Hi,I’ve just joined ID mobile and submitted the pac code I received from giffgaff when I was requesting an account. It all looked to go through ok and I chose the 28th as my switch date. None of the emails I’ve had mention the switch and I can’t see anything about it on the app, just that I can switch my number if I have a pac code. How can I check that the transfer is going to go through? Just thinking that it’s a BH weekend so I’m not going to be able to do it until next Tuesday if the request hasn’t been processed. Thanks

£100 currys voucher - 6a purchased 14 Feb 23

Got a Pixel 6a yesterday (14 Feb), partly because I promised my wife the £100 currys voucher if I could get a new phone!. Having read a number of messages about people not getting them, or being told they do not qualify, I am now worried as there was nothing in the package that arrived today or in the id emails. If I do not get it because of the plan I chose I am not going to be very happy, the initial screen clearly said a £100 voucher and did not flag if my plan did not get the voucher, a bit underhand I think.

Transferring Number to existing ID Mobile account

I’ve been an ID Mobile customer for several years now.I have just purchased a new “premium” phone number, which I would like to move to my existing ID Mobile account, to replace my old number.So I’ve requested the PAC number for the new number, initiated the transfer following ID’s instructions, but when asking for the transaction number, none of the ones I enter are accepted...I suspect that this is because I’ve started my ID contract over 5 years ago or so, and the flow to transfer a number will have changed since then. Non of my welcome emails that I have from the past show the needed transaction number…I’ve been trying to get hold of someone through live chat for several days now, but they are always too busy and suggest to try later. So I’m hoping someone from ID community can help me here, as this is becoming pretty frustrating...
