Question

Unable to make Wifi calls


I’m located in Gateshead Tyne and Wear. Since January 2025 my (iPhone 13 Pro ) mobile phone loses the ability to receive or make calls using ID Mobile’s service on both 4G and WiFi calling when at home or out and about . It works fine for making and receiving calls using WhatsApp, so clearly my phone has got a data connection to the internet. 

 

When this happens, I generally try turning the phone off and back on, but this doesn’t seem to resolve anything.

 

It seems to me that the issue may be with ID Mobile’s infrastructure not being able to give me a “channel” through which to make or receive calls with a worryingly high frequency. 

 

It’s starting to make ID Mobile untenable as a service for me.  I’ve missed a number of urgent calls recently from family members and clients who say that my phone just rings and I don’t answer.  It doesn’t even go into voicemail most of the time it seems.

Are your SMS texts and mobile data (Internet) network services working in the locations where calls don’t, ​@Will501

Perhaps the iD Mobile 3G network was only switched off in Jan 2025, in Gateshead Tyne & Wear - an iOS reset network settings might help.

Perhaps this community article might help, ​@Will501

Just curious, can you say how many active SIM products you’re using in your iPhone 13?

Thank you Natalie,

The phone has only had one sim in it. do I remove and then replace it?

Hey there ​@Will501, if you could and let us know how that goes, that’d be great.

 

Thanks,

No improvement unfortunately. I’ve been in touch with an agent who has referred the problem to the tech section. If there isn’t an improvement soon , I’ll have to leave ID and try another supplier.
