Sorry, your service does not allow access to this number

I know this was an issue a couple years ago. But now on hold for hospital appointment and this keeps happening.

”Sorry, your service does not allow access to this number”

 

Being disconnected while on a hospital wait list isn’t good. Anything I need to do?

I’m getting this issue as we speak. I see people having this issue for the last 3 years, how has it not been sorted yet?

Hi - same thing here. I need to get through to my GP. It’s urgent and I keep getting disconnected. Live chat doesn’t seem to work either. Anyone got a solution yet?

Hi, first time happened to me too today after about a year with ID mobile. Happened once at 3 mins, called back and then again at 5 mins. Really annoying, especially as these are work related calls!

 

I’ve tried restarting my mobile to see if that makes a difference.

I too have had this in fact have registered a complaint as it was happening a couple of weeks ago. Now it's happening again it must be linked to the ID Mobile billing system it cuts calls off as if you have runout of credit or minutes. I'm on a pay by month SIM and it's unlimited.

Must be an ID issue as I am getting the same trying to book things for work,

Please sort it out as it is unacceptable. I am on contract and all paid, nothing outstanding.

I am also the same,

tried calling complaint line as it seems to be the only line for ID to talk to a human seeing as live chat is never available etc… but been cut of all 3 times with the same issue! 
 

this issue dates back 3 years but they tried twlling me its only come to light today 🤦🏻‍♀️

 

honestly have regrets joining iD as theres always a problem and no one to talk to properly to fix it.

Copy and paste from my live chat with them now

I can confirm that the issue has been escalated to our technical team, and we are looking to get it resolved as soon as possible. I do understand how much of an inconvenience this must be for you.

it is happening to me too - I am going to get in touch with Ofcom as if it is persistent you are in breach of your contractual terms for providing service

I’ve had the same issue this morning while calling the doctors. I’ve not been able to get an urgent appointment because of it. Absolutely furious that this is still an issue after seeing this was happening 3yrs ago. I’m on contract and not even half way through. So disappointed in the service or lack of it!

I am having the same problem as many others. On a very important call when it says does not allow access to this number. Very very bad service

Yeah it’s still happening to me. Restarting my phone did nothing of course, but was worth a try.

Just to say I am having this issue with calls as well when on hold. Not great at all, only been with the service for a month and not impressed.

Not only has the service itself been unusable all day, but it’s left me (and apparently many others) unable to book appointments or do anything. 
 

what am I going to do when my doctor calls back for the fourth time in the next minute or two? I’ve waited over a week for this and have had to sign up here now just find a fix.
