New contract, no signal at all.

I have just signed up with id mobile and I've had virtually no signal from the start. Thought maybe it would settle after a few days, but no. It's genuinely terrible.

Can't go 2 years with no coverage, what can I do?   I've tried all the troubleshooting except for being sent a different sim. I doubt that would actually solve it.

Very disappointed.

Hey there @Gillhespy, welcome to iD!

 

we're very sorry to hear you're having issues with coverage.

 

Please take a look at our coverage checker, which will show you what your signal strength should be like in your area, for all of 3G/4G/5G, for both indoors and outdoors.

Furthermore, please take a look at our network partner Three's network status checker, which will show if there is any maintenance or performance upgrades going on in your area. If the website states that's the case, then it's likely that this is disrupting your coverage, and we hope that this is resolved soon for you.

Please take a look at both of these. If you believe you should be experiencing better signal than you are, or if the networks status checker on Three's website isn't showing any upgrades or maintenance, then please do let us know or contact us via our live-chat:

Have you also tried some of the troubleshooting methods below?

Please also try restarting your phone, and resetting network settings.

 

Thanks,

Tyler

Thanks for your reply. I've tried the troubleshooting steps multiple times with no success. The coverage checker shows no issues and no planned works.  ID have sent out a new sim for me to try. If no improvement I will sadly need to cancel the contract.

Thank you. 

 

With the SIM activation it can take 24 hours or so for it to fully complete. 

Have you seen any improvement since your last post? If not, is the issue in one location or all over?

 

Thanks,

 

Nat
