Hi there. I've been in Switzerland for three days. I've bought a one day 2g data package for each day. However, each day my account shows the data add on is not used and my monthly plan data is now almost all gone. What can I do?

Are you saying you have bought another SIM card to use for roaming that has nothing to do with iD?

Unfortunately ​@Matt Harris, if you’ve purchased an iD Mobile Roam Beyond data add-on product, there’s a good chance it isn’t working properly.

Looking at others posting in this forum, it appears the iD Roam Beyond data add-on isn’t 100% reliable.  

If you’ve got a dual SIM phone with eSIM capability, a data-only eSIM with a travel plan for Switzerland might be a better option.

These community articles could help you to get in-touch with iD customer service, in order to discuss your Roam Beyond data add-on. 

🤞

Thanks ​@andewhite . I'm on my way home already. I've had roaming the whole time so no need for an alternative solution. But also seem to have used up my data for the rest of the month.

@MZone not exactly. I bought a roaming add on from Id mobile. I've been able to use data, but it seems to have been deducted from my usual monthly allowance.

It’s not very clear if it’s an extra allowance they give you for that add on or if it just means you can use upto that allowance out of your usual allowance if that makes sense. Sounds like the latter cause you would have been charged out of plan charges in Switzerland otherwise.
