Phone not working even though bill is paid

Sounds like the iD Mobile total metering and billing system isn’t working properly, @RainbowCarly82. 

Forum members here can’t look at customers accounts. Maybe try contacting iD support using the iD online Live Chat service - an iD adviser should be able to assist.

The iD advisors work between 9am - 8pm on weekdays - the iD chatbot works 24/7.

Thank you. I just wasn't sure if anyone else was having issues with their phones being down. If not it must be an issue my end. Thanks for your reply though 

It can sometimes take up to 24-hours for a bar on an iD account to be lifted, @RainbowCarly82. 

Try restarting your handset, or contact iD customer service using the online Live Chat.

I am so cross with ID mobile and the appalling customer care. I had a notification that there was an outstanding amount on my bill, which I paid immediately. I still can’t use my phone several hours after making the payment- what an appalling service. It isn’t the first time I have faced serious issues with ID mobile, who won’t answer the phone or interact with me as a human. The Live chat feature is too busy for anybody to respond and the phone number is all automated. What an awful service. It is making me really cross.

I have a 3G doro phone, only used for emergency for house bound 85 year lady, it is paid for by myself on direct debit, it just says emergency calls only  do I need to get another phone 4G or is it a fault

Hi @David Broughall,

Welcome to the Community!

I would advise testing the SIM in a 4G handset first as it sounds like 3G has been removed in the area.

However if the issue still persists it will most likely be a faulty SIM.

I put the sim in a 4G unlocked samsung galaxy, did not work, I spent quite a time talking to iD on a computer, I was not offered a new sim, so I cancelled the contract, then they said it would not be cancelled for 30 days but I could still use it until that time even though they knew it had not worked for quite a time before I contacted them, I was not impressed, the contract was in my name but used by a elderly lady with short term memory problems, used very infrequently but a basic easy to use one, I bought a smilar phone from Amazon and have a sim on the way from EE. would I recommend iD ?

Hi there @David Broughall, we’re sorry to hear about your poor experience with us and our live-chat, and we certainly take your feedback on-board, and wouldn’t want this to happen.

Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

Thanks,
