Hi ​@Smallsor99 

 

The area of BT70 1QF is very patchy for our signal, we’d expect issues here, sorry.

I’m a little confused, what’s a scam?

had ‘id mobile’ customer service people whatsapp and call me relating to the above. they asked questions about the service and concluded it could be issue with phone. They were going to start a complaints process and requested the phone be sent back to them but when i conforted them that this is a scam as they where unable to verify any details on my account they hung up. need to be careful on a public forum

Thank you for letting us know ​@Smallsor99. Please don’t give out any information to anyone unless it says they’re an iD employee, or from our iD Support account.

 

We don’t have WhatsApp.

 

Thanks,
