appalling coverage …

Appalling coverage and it has gotten worse. 

 

I have been an ID customer now for nearly 3 years and at first it was ok at home and at work. The last 12 months, I’ve seen a drop and in the last couple of months even worse. 

ID, you’re in breach of contract because you cannot provide the service I pay for. 

The network coverage checker shows great service at both home and work - but every time I try to make a call or receive one, it goes direct to voicemail. I receive a text of the missed call, try to call back and I can’t get through, even with one bar. 

I turned off every single feature Apple has that could play a part - no difference. 

I use an eSIM, I replaced this more recently thinking that may be the problem - no difference. 

I don’t have a physical SIM, I am happy to the that and will order one, but I am doubtful it will make any difference. Your coverage has been reasonable at best, but now it’s out and out poor. 

If upon installing the physical SIM there is no difference then the contract will be cancelled due to your breach. Of note, I should not have to rely on WIFI to boost connectivity. Provide the mobile service I pay for please. That’s the deal. 

Lastly, I ran the Apple diagnostics and it picked up the mobile service issue.  I am in SN25 and SN5 postcodes.

Hi ​@Sandie72,

 

We're sorry to hear about the issues you've been experiencing with your coverage.

 

We appreciate how frustrating it can be when the service you're receiving doesn't match what you'd expect, particularly if the coverage checker is showing strong coverage in the areas where you're having problems.

 

As a first step, we'd recommend checking the coverage checker again to see if there are any reported issues or maintenance affecting the locations concerned: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-support/coverage-and-networks/network-coverage-checker

 

If the issue persists, please contact our Live Chat team so they can investigate further and check whether there are any network-related issues affecting your service: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat

 

They'll be able to review your account and discuss any available options based on the outcome of their investigation.

 

Regards,

Hello. 

I raised a complaint anyway and been waiting on the call, had text messages to tell me you’d call, and now a further text to say it’s marked as resolved as no response my end. 
 

I HAVE NOT HAD ANY CALLS COME THROUGH AND I AM AT HOME. 
 

this just proves the point that the service is absolutely rubbish. 
 

What next? 


 

can see I have 1 bar and WiFi on - I also have WiFi calling on to assist with the signal. phone is on silent only, it still rings and messages are received etc, clearly.
