Will I retain my SIM & number if I go abroad for 3 months?

Later in the year I’m travelling to India for three months and I’m wondering whether my phone number will be deactivated in that time. I’m aware it will cost me more while roaming but I just want to make sure I won’t lose my phone number for those three months. The responses on these forums and the official ID information is unclear. The official line is:“if you roam more than you use your phone at home (we mean in the UK) over a 4-month period, we might think you’re permanently roaming”Does that mean that if I use it abroad for two months and a day I’ll be classed as permanently roaming? (as then I’d have used it for abroad for longer than I have in the UK over four months).Or does it mean that if I use it abroad for four months and a day I’ll be classed as permanently roaming? (if so then the wording could be much clearer).Apparently if you stay abroad for longer than this unclear period of time then the following happens:“First of all, we'll send you a text reminding you of the fair

Switching from existing id contract to a new id contract

Good Morning, I have made a new contract with ID and have also an existing contract. Can I just insert my existing sim to my new phone and start using? Do I need to cancel the existing contract? My existing mobile number will be automatically imported to my new phone contract?

Unlimited plan

I would like to ask the following. I have had an “unlimited” SIM only plan for a few years now. I pay £20 a month. I have seen on the ID mobile website that the unlimited SIM only plan is  £18.  Why am I charged £2 Pounds more?, what can I do  so that I pay £18  (instead of £20)? Thank you.

wrong number when texting

Hello I have recently purchased a new Samsung A35, plan has been set on it and everything seemed to be working fine, I was informed by the lady in Curry's that my old number would be transferred to my new phone, I'm not sure if this has fully happened yet as I now appear to be texting off of 1 number and phoning people on the number I want to use.

fair usage on new data

Hi, looking at a new SIM card offer. It has 100gb for £10 p/m. Is it correct that fair use is based on the cost not your data levels . I’m looking to use it when in holiday in Spain but I think that might only let me use 7/8 gb of data? My current suppliers card lets me have 12gb so not sure that it would be worthwhile switching if that’s right .Normally use my phone as a hot spot while we are away. Is my understanding of fair usage right?

Please explain the reasons why internal porting is not possible

I am baffled as to why you seemingly hold your existing customers with the utmost contempt when they exercise their right to choose the best deal in continuing to be your customer.  Perhaps if you were to give a full range of upgrade phones, people wouldn't decide to create a new account amd then go through the bizarre little dance you inflict on your so-called valued customers in forcing a triangle port on them where we waste your competitors like GiffGaffs time in sending a PAYG sim. The fact that your own advisors advise this route rather than providing REAL customer service and just porting it over is just absurd.  As a business customer of a cellular provider this is something I know an internal port a)is  possible b) happens on a daily basis and c) takes any cellular provider 2 minutes to do. Please can you confirm that's it's not that you can't but you won't, and the actual reasons for this?

ID Mobile data in Spain

Hi. I pay monthly for a completely unlimited ID Mobile SIM that I use in a motorhome router. It's used for watching TV,  Whatsapping and keeping up with the news, mainly. It has been working perfectly in Spain up until today. It has stopped working and I just get the message "No Service". My phone, using a different SIM and company, is roaming on Moviestar without any problems. My ID SIM was also using Moviestar until it stopped working 'out of the blue'. I have spent hours trying to get my data up and running again on my Moho router without success. Logging into my ID account shows no problems with my service. What has happened? Are there problems at ID Mobile's end?

IMEI problems

I get an MMI error when searching for my IMEI number using *#06#The reason I need the IMEI Is that 'm trying to register my phone with my banks tech insurance, it is saying that either of the two IMEI numbers on my phone are not recognised devices. ​​​​​So *#06# doesn't work and the tech company can't recognise the IMEI either… My phone is a pay monthly pixel 7 pro

Number unobtainable following port

All,I have transferred my existing number across to IDmobile yesterday. I am able to make outgoing calls and send texts - however calls to me from other networks receive “you have dialed an incorrect number” and any SMS’s they send do not come through to me. I think there has been an issue with my number port (I have seen similar issues being reported by others recently).Thanks.

Trade-in bonus promotion not received

Hi, when trading in my phone for upgrade, there was a promotion of an additional £150 when purchasing a Samsung s22. I've received the original quoted amount but not this additional boost. It looks like I'm not the first person to have trouble with this, what do I need to do in order to get the promotion as promised? I've already contacted Carphone Warehouse on two occasions with no reply.Many thanks
