Best answer by Tyler C

Hey there ​@BBell, what phone do you have please?

 

Does it affect calls, texts and data?

 

Is the issue mainly at home, or elsewhere also?

 

Thanks,

Tyler

Hi ​@BBell 

What phone do you have?
Do you have a physical SIm or an ESIM?

If there is no ‘apparent’ problems with the network then it my be down to the set up of your phone.
The more details we have, the better someone will be able to help you.

Im getting very frustrated with ID, signal not great, some days unable to make a call out,, download

is not happening, what is wrong, 

I have had no network coverage in my home since last Friday night can't make calls or send texts I've tried everything even a new SIM.🤔 What the heck is going on. When I contacted ID they told me it was the walls in my flat that's impossible because I've lived here for five years and being with ID mobile for two years. Does anyone have any information on what's going on. 🙏

I know other people are experiencing the same,  I was unable to make a urgent important hospital

appointment to arrange a procedure.  Also mobile banking is severely affected.  I am disabled and

virtually housebound so I need a good service.

I have lived at my house for 40 years and been a customer of ID mobile

for at least 10 years, when I joined it was really good. Its this 2024/2025 year that its been bad.

 Every time I check my postcode on the signal checker its showing good

Its difficult to get in touch with the company.

No other option to find another network.  Please can anyone help

Hi ​@BBell 

 

Sorry to hear this, does this happen everywhere you go or just a certain location?

 

Please could you let us know the full postcode(s) where you’re having this issue?

Hi Anika

thanks for reply, if there are no reported network issues in my area then what is the problem and why has it been happening the last year but recently its really bad and other people are saying the same.

 

Something does not add up. Is anyone checking the masts supplying the signal..

If it doesnt’ get rectified im going to leave ID, there is no other choice.

Beverley

High Beverley it's only been happening to me since last Friday and only while I'm in the flat no signal no phone calls no text it's a good job I have home internet otherwise I wouldn't be able to get contacted something happened to me as I live on my own. I've reported it every day they go over the same questions and even try to tell me that the walls in the flap was stopping the signal but that's impossible as I've been with them for 18 months and never had a problem so I'm not sure what's going on also and I'm also thinking of leaving if the problems not fixed I come to tacked them on Monday and they said an engineer would be in touch within 48 hours well that runs out today.

why do you need to change SIM card,  I can only get 1 or 2 bars, this is on a daily basis, there must be something wrong with the signal from ID mobile

Hey there ​@BBell, a replacement SIM card is a troubleshooting technique we try that can resolve many issues, and potentially yours. We would recommend trying one and letting us know how you get on.
