I have absolutely no signal right now and have frequently experienced drops and cut-offs in recent days.  I don’t know what to do.

Hi ​@palermo22A 
 

Thank you for reaching out we completely understand how frustrating it is to experience signal issues and dropped calls. Let’s work through some troubleshooting steps to help get your service back to normal:

  1. Check Coverage
    Ensure you’re in an area with good iD Mobile (EE network) coverage. You can check local coverage here
  2. Restart Your Handset
    Turning your phone off and on again can help it reconnect to the network and resolve temporary signal issues.
  3. Toggle Airplane Mode
    Switch Airplane Mode ON, wait 10 seconds, then turn it OFF. This forces your phone to search for the network again.
  4. Check Network Settings
    Go to Settings → Mobile Network → Network Operators and make sure Automatic selection is enabled.
    Ensure your preferred network type is set to LTE/3G/2G (Auto).
  5. Remove Conflicting SIMs or Profiles
    If you have multiple SIMs or eSIMs, sometimes the phone can get confused. Make sure only your iD Mobile SIM/eSIM is active, especially if you recently switched devices or networks.
  6. Reset Network Settings (last resort)
    Settings → System → Reset Options → Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth

If after trying these steps your signal issues continue, please let us know. We can then investigate further on our network side and escalate if needed to restore full service.

 

We appreciate your patience and are here to help get this resolved as quickly as possible.
