Just got back from Spain and I am unable to make a call to any of my contacts, even my wife who was with me, when making a call it says number not assigned?  But all work in the UK, date roaming is on even tried +34 or +44 the only way I can ring my wife is if she rings me then I can call her by using recent calls? And she is on id, same phone same settings and she can make call? 🤷‍♂️

Okay @Eric Attwood, that suggests your handset or iD account might not have been enabled for roaming. 

Have you checked the roaming settings in your iD online account?

Have you tried turning OFF your handset for 10-15 minutes, and then restarting your phone, @Eric Attwood?

No I never, didn't cross my mind, with it working in the UK and my wife's phone working, will try it when I'm next in Spain, hopefully it works, thanks for replying.

Just curious, @Eric Attwood - was the “number not assigned” message displayed on the handset, or was it an audible message you heard after attempting to make a call (in Spain)?

I'm in Spain and am having the same issue, been on with ID mobile on numerous occasions, no joy. They upped my cap to one pound. Then I had a missed call from the complaints team, when I called them back it used all my cap and therefore cut me off. Roaming is definitely on, because I can text and use data when our and about. Not happy at all, I have been an ID customer for years. My husband is with ID and his phone works fine

When I tried calling my partner in Spain, I get the message to contact my provider as the number I am calling from is not available??..she calls me...then I use call back and I can get through, but not by calling from my contacts?

Very odd ..I have data roaming etc all enabled.

Hi ​@Peter Saunders 

 

I’m sorry to hear that, is the issue just with that phone number?

 

Is the contact number saved as +44 and not 07?

I am back in Spain on Friday..I will try other numbers.

I get a message to contact customer services when I dial out, but... weirdly...if I hit my recent calls and press the received call icon from my partner it will connect?
