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.

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. 

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?

We’re sorry to hear you’ve had a rought start there @Niyat Mehta 

Have things been bad since day 1?  Or did problems gradually get worse over time?

Could we get your full postcode just to check if any known issues are affecting the closest masts there currently?

Do you have WiFi calling enabled in your phone (if supported)?

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

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!

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

I have little to no network cover at home.

It is like this since beginning. Wifi is enabled on my phone and I do use it.

If I change network to 2G/3G then it slightly improves but not great. When I select 4G it is poor.

Hi @Niyat Mehta 

 

We can see that there has been some congestion on the mast which provides your service within your area, this may be the reason why you are seeing drops with your signal.

Are you having issues with your coverage when you are outside of your postal area or just when you are at home?

 

Thanks

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.

We’re sorry to hear this @Niyat Mehta 

Were things better originally, then took a decline?  Or has it been the same since you started?

Could we get the full postcode for where you’re at?

Do you have WiFi calling enabled in your phone?

@Kevin @Ryan @Michelle 

 

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.

Hi @Niyat Mehta 

 

We can see there is some congestion on a nearby mast, this may be the reason why you are seeing drops in your signal.

Its been 2 months and situation is like this only. 

 

Shall I expect it as permanent congestion? If not who will fix this and by when? 

 

End user does not bother about this congestion, we expect good quality and signal strength.
