Question

No network coverage - again


I cannot make or receive calls, I cannot send texts and I cannot use my mobile data.

 

Please fix this issue as a matter of urgency, this is the second time in 6 months I have experienced this issue with ID mobile and I rely on my phone to ensure my ailing parents are not needing support.

I have used a troubleshooting ID mobile network website,

 

I Checked the network status in my area & there are no reported problems 

I have disconnected from the network, chosen another network provider and then re-chosen ID mobile.
 
I have taken my SIM card in and out.

Please fix this issue ASAP. Thank you.

If your iD SIM is not working in different network unlocked phones, sounds like your iD SIM could somehow be damaged or faulty, ​@Vodafonewasbetter

A replacement SIM might resolve your issues.

There’s not a problem with coverage. When I first got my phone with ID mobile I had this issue and it was rectified by a fix completed by ID mobile. I’d appreciate this happening again as I still have no coverage.

Hey there ​@Vodafonewasbetter, what issue did you have when you first got your phone, and how was it rectified?

 

Thanks,

Tyler

 

 


I was not able to make calls, send texts or use the internet. This is the same issue now. I raised my problem with complaints and an update by ID mobile fixed the issue.

I have been to Curry’s today & collected a new SIMA card & that has no service either. I have been unable to use my phone correctly since Wednesday morning. Please sort this out ASAP. 
Thank you.

Hey there ​@Vodafonewasbetter, have you activated the new SIM card you received from Currys? If not, it won’t work until you do, and it needs activating via the iD Mobile app/website, or via customer services.

Thanks,

Yes, it has been activated. By yourselves via Facebook chat. I still have no connection. It’s not a SIM issue. It is an ID mobile network issue. How do I leave your company with my number mid-contract? I can not accept not having connection any longer.
