Just switched. No signal.

Morning,

I used a PAC code to switch my number onto ID. I got the text to say that I had been switched but I don't have any signal, I can only make emergency calls. I have been in Bristol and Manchester over this period so I'm assuming that it can't be a coverage issue.

I've turned my phone on and off many times and reset mobile network settings. No success though... I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas?

Many thanks,

Guy

Probably best to contact iD customer support about your switching issues, using their online Live Chat service, ​@GuyBrist.

The advisors work until 8pm on weekdays (6pm at weekends) - the iD chat-bot works 24/7. 

Tell the chat-bot you want to “talk to a person”. 

Also, might be worthwhile double-checking your mobile number is present in the phone settings, on the phone with iD SIM.

Does your old provider’s SIM card still work, ​@GuyBrist?

Did your iD SIM work before your number switched?

What was your switching date?

I'm not sure if my old SIM works anymore but it definitely says that I no longer have an active plan with them on the app.

I believe that my ID SIM card worked prior to switch but I was on WiFi so I can't be certain.

My switching date was yesterday.

Thank you

Sorry, I'm away from home at the moment or else I would try my old SIM.
