Hello

I started a new 24 hour contract with ID about 3 weeks ago and got a Motorola Razr 5. Last few days the camera and torch have failed to work and it appears to be a common fault. I've tried numerous solutions but not has worked. I'm really not happy with the phone.

Happy to stay with ID but how do I exchange this faulty phone for a new one? Would rather not have the Motorola again.

I am within a 30 day period where I should be able to return?

Thanks

I’m afraid you won’t be able to exchange the device for another make and model. You’ll likely also experience issues trying to obtain an exchange, as ID Mobile will probably want you to arrange a warranty repair through Curry’s. Your best option would be to cancel the contract by invoking your cooling-off right and returning the device. Then, place a whole new order and start afresh.
