Unable to register phone


I am 23 days into an iD pay-as-you-go contract, and have not been able to receive a verification code, and so cannot phone or text. Eventually I was sent a replacement sim card, but the problem continues, my Galaxy 10 phone settings says “Phone number not recognised”. Now it seems I can no longer reach Chat-bot, never mind speak to an agent. I want to get out of this deal, but seem to be trapped! Reading of other’s similar experiences is discouraging. Please tell me, where can I go next?

Hi @Brian Mitchell 

 

The phone settings saying your phone number isn’t recognized shouldn’t affect the usage of the actual device, is this a verification code to register to the app you’re unable to get?

 

With a Pay As You Go, you aren’t in a contract and aren’t ‘trapped’ at any stage, you’re not contracted at all.

I may not be in a contract, but I have paid, and am expected to continue to pay, money to iD.

It is the verification code to the app that I have been unable to recieve. As to the usage being “unaffected”, not being able to  phone or text seems to be a significant failing. However, I may have found a solution by contacting your complaints department who I hope resolving the problem
