I have recently joined ID but since then I am getting very poor coverage at home. Signal strength is only one bar and very rarely it goes to double bar. 

 

Is this the quality of coverage I should expect going forward? If so I will be forced ro choose other network.

Hi @Anna-Maria Grieve, the first thing to do in this instance would be to enter your postcode on our coverage checker here - https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/coverage

If the checker says you should expect poor coverage and you’re still within your returns period, we’ll be happy to get your order returned for you.

If the checker expects you to be getting a good signal, and/or you’re outside your returns period, we can troubleshoot the connection for you.

It’s always worth powering down your phone and turning it back on again, as this tends to fix the majority of signal issues.

Do let us know once you’ve done all of the above!

 

Thank you,

Rory

If you have little to no network coverage at home then try enabling WiFi calling on your device (if compatible) or cancel under the 14 (or 30 id ordered via idmobile.co.uk) day return policy ID Mobile offer new customers.

 

Unfortunately no matter which network someone goes for not all of them will have great coverage in every location. Thats why people regularly say that one network is better than another when it comes to coverage. For me, Vodafone offer the best and is the only network able to give me almost full 5G signal at home. O2, Three and EE 5G is not existent here and I’m in the second largest city in Wales!

I have little to no network cover at home.

I have copied this from a question by another ID customer as I am having exactly the same issue.

Sorry to hear this @K Lyttle.

 

Has this always been the case, or is it a new development?

 

If you could provide us with your postcode, we can run some checks on your local mast for you.

Hi I have been having one bar signal in my home now for a few weeks and sometimes my signal is dropping can you please help me with this issue thank you. 
 

King Regards K Lyttle.

I’m going to reply here, as I’m having the same connectivity issues when attempting to use mobile data and when trying to send/receive texts and calls, on my Sony L4. 

The service was usable within the first month of ownership. However since Friday 19th March the service has been very very poor. On this Friday my reception was completely gone (no bars). Since then the service has been intermittent with me invariably unable to make and receive calls. Over the past two weeks, I have successfully received 3 calls. I’m now having to use my landline to make and receive calls when I wish to do so. 

 

I was delighted to discover the Wifi-Caling option on my phone, however this has also turned out to work intermittently. My home Wi-Fi averages at 200 MBPS (fibre), so I know there are no issues around Wi-Fi strength. Please advise.

Hey! I also had a bad signal in the office and my husband said to buy a signal amplifier. I do not know if it is possible to leave links here, but I chose here - https://www.myamplifiers.com/ There is adequate support and a good choice
Let the moderator remove if links are prohibited.
Good luck!

You are mixing two issues here.. 

My issue is related to poor network because of Conjunction in Mast ( refer above comments) and I assume you are not able to contact @Arkangel  for his issue. 

 

He has different issue probably.

This issue is not solved then why it is marked as Solved? 

 

Pl mark it as open.

 

Its been 3 months now and issue is not solved. It is really frustrating to chase you guys and not getting resolution for months. 

No, they keep asking me for exact details of calls I couldn’t receive and I keep telling them that I am not able to give exact details. I am not getting anywhere..

I am not able to receive calls as the coverage at home is so poor. I am disabled and housebound and depend on my phone. Is there any way the signal can be boosted?

Any update here please? 

 

Its been 3 months and issue is not solved. Seems no one is looking at it. 

 

In this pandemic I am working from hom and if I don't get good service than there is no point of using ID service.

Without fixing mast issue how can you expect issue is solved? 

 

Did you check mast issue is fixed or not? 

 

There is no change in signals at home. Its still poor network.

Hi @Niyat Mehta 

 

It has been a few days since your post, has your signal now improved?

Why iD Mobile?
