Ordered new phone mid August, with trade in. Didn't receive trade in bag allowing way more time than quoted I got in touch with Curry's the guy said he would send one out, but I should speak to ID mobile. Spoke to ID they said “it's nothing to do with us” “ it's Curry's”. As you can guess I never received my bag after asking. Phoned Curry's they said it was never sent the second time?. Asked for another trade in bag to be sent out 29/09/2025, received confirmation email etc, still not received the trade in bag. This is ridiculous customer service from the CURRYS umbrella. Ive stuck to my side of the contract by paying my bills every month, very disappointed, but not surprised I still can't trade my old phone in.

    It's a shame, they don't respond to emails, so I have no chance of them responding to a written letter. I emailed two months ago and have still not heard nothing. When I call by phone I get sent to different depts, told me they've sent the trade in bag, then on the next phone call told me it wasn't even sent.

    iD Mobile is responsible for the services it recommends to its customers. If the failure of the recommended trade-in service results in a financial loss for the customer, iD Mobile could be held liable.

    I called the number given today to make a complaint. asked where my trade-in bag was?. the answer I received was “ It was delivered to the store”. What store? “ Sorry sir I cannot confirm at this time which store”. I was never told which store because I was told it would be delivered to me within 10 working days. So for the fourth time of asking, I might get my trade-in bag. When I asked to complain I was asked for name, contact details etc and told the bag will arrive at my home address, then asked to fill in a customer satisfaction survey. not given the dept to complain too. Shocking, shocking service. This will be my last contract with ID I would rather pay a little more with someone else.

    I would have liked some support from the beginning ,the responses I have had from ID are its not an ID issue its Curry's. I will go on social media to reach out to my friends to tell them of my experience.
