Hi @harleyjoker2020,

What happens when you try to call that number? You can also dial 7777 from your iD Mobile phone to access the automated services. You can also speak to our Live Chat Team here.

@Audrey Truman we can’t see any other messages that you have sent here so we apologise if you feel we are ignoring you. What does your bill show for each message and are you sure they are not charging you for incoming messages as this is what some subscription services do and you can often identify this by checking if there is a short 5 digit number mentioned. This will be on your bill. Let us know what you see.

This network is ABSOLUTELY useless, I’m leaving. I can’t get any info without jumping through hoops. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH ID.

NO HELP, NO SUPPORT.

I’LL MAKE IT EASIER FOR OTHERS. . ..  LEAVE ID, THEY ARE A BUNCH OF OFFICIOUS, IRRESPONSIBLE, GREEDY, UNCARING JOBSWORTHS.

HI @APurpleG 

We are sorry to hear this. It seems like you have had a poor experience here. We will send you a Private Message now so we can look into your issue and help with resolving this. 

-Mohsin

Hi Mohsin, I have had a very poor experience with ID mobile, I had to cycle to a carphone warehouse to get the problem sorted, (I’m nearly 60 and I really seriously don’t appreciate having to cycle so far just because of the uninformative, inept jobsworth from ID that I spoke to and his bad attitude and massive lack of help on the phone.) The customer service there was great, they had a live chat with someone from ID, and clarified the problem, which turned out to be your sim card, not my phone, not me and not anything else the jobsworth insisted on.

I was assured a new sim card would be sent to me within 2 to 3 working days. Its been 5 working days. No sim card.

My phone hasn’t functioned properly for around 3 weeks now, I shouldn’t have to pay for this months service as I haven’t had it, If the sim doesn’t arrive on Monday I should cancel my payments and take this matter up with Offcom.

yours most sincerely

Hi @APurpleG 

We understand how frustrating this must be on your end and thank you for your continued patience. We have sent you a Private message to check if your sim card has been processed, To view the message sent, simply click on your profile icon on the top right and select Private Messages.

-Mohsin

Hi Mohsin, Thank you for your reply - I’m sure you are obliged to write it but tell your company; I don’t appreciate being thanked for something I have absolutely no choice about, ie my patience.

I clicked on my profile, but there was NO indication of a message anywhere on the page it took me to! As I’m not great at tech I asked a friend to do it and make sure I was ‘Doing it right’. I am doing it right, yet again ID fails. 

My replacement SIM card arrived on the 25th April, exactly 1 month since the original stopped working, I couldn’t cope with the stress, hassle and utter ineffectiveness of using ID online to activate the SIM, I went to the Carphone warehouse, where I could be sure of great service.

ID have offered me Ten pounds for having NO service for a month and all the other inconveniences, hassle, time, energy, risks and costs. I think that is insulting, (as are the environmentally damaging, useless and unwanted vouchers that came with the replacement SIM!)

I expect a FULL refund of my monthly payment, I have been in touch with OFFCOM, if I’m not happy with your resolution I will contact them again and put my formal complaint through.

YOURS

Alison Purple Grindley.

By all means contact me on 07401244410 or alisonpurplegrindley@gmail.com

Hi I need help with my order I ordered a iPhone 11 64gb in white on the 15/11/2022. I called yesterday to be told white is on back order so I agreed to have in black instead. I’ve paid the upfront fee on the 15th. I was supposed to get the phone today. I called and they said it wasn’t sent as needed to pay upfront cost. This has already been paid order number 123963896

Okay @Smithy86, sounds like iD Mobile have goofed with your order.

Maybe call the iD sales team on 020 7139 1397 (during normal office hours), or get in-touch with the iD social media customer support team on facebook (using Messenger), or Twitter (by Direct Message) for assistance.

Good luck @Smithy86

Tried that. Told me they will call bk 

So just got off the phone to them. The chap said credit check failed. As I have to many lines with them. I have one line only. I reckon the lady has put the change of colour through as a new order. Surley if I failed back on the 15th it wouldn’t have went through and no funds would have been taken from my account. I’ve been with them 2 years never missed a payment. I also have confirmation of the order and contract

Indeed @Smithy86, sounds like iD goofed and created a new order instead of amending your original order.

Have you tried getting assistance from the iD social media customer service team?

They’re available through facebook (by Messenger), or Twitter (by Direct Message). 

Good luck @Smithy86

 

Yea just wait for a call they been saying for 3 days

So the social media team have told you wait for a call? 
Call from who exactly?

All seems very odd @Smithy86, and yet another example of the awful customer service iD Mobile provide.
