Sim not activated after 24 hours

I upgraded to a new phone and did not order a replacement sim.I got a message to say that the activation is in progress over 24 hours ago, but still not got any service/sim recognised. The sim fits the phone and it is not damaged. Any suggestions?

getting the error “your service does not allow access to this number”

Hello,in the past 2 days I can’t call my mom who lives outside the UK. Every time I call her it just says “your service does not allow access to this number” and the call gets immediately terminated after. I’ve never had this issue before. I checked and can see that I still have £75 worth of extra usage limit left on my account.what is causing this issues and is there something that I can do to solve it? Thanks! Arian

absolutely appalled at the service / network

I am beyond frustrated at this point. This network is an utter joke. Some days I can't even get a dial out tone, my internet is almost none existent and takes forever to load. When I try to answer a call it just goes dead. ID constantly say they're sorry for the inconvenience, but never do anything to fix the problem. I've been told there has been planned work in my area since November 2023 and they don't know when it will end. I am a single parent of a 3 year old and if I cannot make calls or receive calls I'm in danger of not knowing what is happening with my child, I e when she is at child care. I cannot express how angry I am at this network. And it is clear I am not the only one who is having issues. I'm tempted to report the network for not providing the service they advertised. I just want to pay off my device plan and cancel the contract!! I would never, ever recommend this network to anyone and I am beyond angry I am being told I cannot cancel my contract even though I barely

Standing Orders

Why is ID mobile behind on the tech to introduse Standing oreders My Bank has told me it is the best optioon for me due to my mental health every other cell and landline company offer this as an option its no diferent then a Direct Debit it costs nothing extra and people do not get penalised by fines and its less confusing becaue the customer has more control of dates the payments are made some weeks have 5 weeks wich knocks payment dates out of sync as DD is a set date but SOs are every 4 weeks every time a DD is attempted it affects a persons credit score

New customer

Hi I've signed up with a sim only deal and asked for my old number to port across today.  New SIM in phone - great! Trying to register on app but I'm being asked to provide a security code,  which I don't have.  I've requested one which has been sent to my phone by text.  But I'm not receiving the text cos the phone isn't registered to the network - either the original number or my old number.Help!🤷‍♀️

Impossible to use ID Mobile with navigation apps as coverage in UK is so patchy. When compared to my previous contracts with O2 and EE coverage is unreliable, may need to break contract and leave

No Entry?

No matter what I do I cannott get into my account. I have tried the ‘password’ change to the letter about 10 times over the last day and got nowhere. It accepts all my key strokes and I get the message “password succesfully changed” but no matter what I type into the login screen I get “Oops’ that isn’t quite right - try again” and I get locked out. Getting into this forum worked fine but the account no way! WHY?

Very very poor mobile reception affecting my business

Dear ID mobile, I’ve been a customer with you for years and tho signal strength has always been a bit low with occasional outages in the SN8 4HR postcode. But recently say about 3 weeks ago since some network maintenance in the SN8 area I can’t make or receive mobile calls any longer and it’s starting to have a serious impact on me and my business. I can receive texts but just not phone calls and now have to travel 1.5 miles along the A4 to just see if I have any voice messages. Please please help!
