Hi. I joined iD mobile on 16/07 from 3 using a PAC. However I have only got data service and no network coverage. So I have been unable to make calls or message from my phone except when I have a solid WiFi connection since 16/07. I have contacted iD chat bot before today and was given a number of steps to follow which did not work. I was put through to a live chat with two separate agents. I was told to wait until engineering work was complete in my area and to keep refreshing network settings but this has not worked either.

    Hi ​@NatOxe 

     

    Sorry to hear this, do you get 4G/5G or not?

     

    Are you sure the SIM card was swapped from the Three UK one to ours when the transfer happened?

    Hi Tom. Thanks for replying. I occasionally get 4g / 5g. I did move my 3 SIM to the new phone on 16/07 for the planned transfer.

    When you go into phone settings, is your phone number showing correctly?

     

    Also, what device do you have please?

    ​@Tyler C  I have an iPhone 16 Pro. 
    In Settings > Apps > Messages my phone number is showing as +447983…… and in Phone it’s showing +447983…… for both Primary and Mobile Data. 
    I have also tried various network refreshes over the past days as advised.

    Hi there ​@NatOxe, and to confirm, that phone number is the correct one?

     

    Just to check, is it affecting data, calls or texts?

     

    Thanks,

    Tyler

    Hi ​@Tyler C 

    My full correct number (including the country code is showing)

    I can only make calls and send / receive messages when I have a data or WiFi connection.

    Hi ​@Anika A 

    Thanks for your reply but I have tried countless daily network refreshes.which have no effect. 
    As far as I can see either the SIM is at fault or the porting of my number using the PAC didn’t work out on 16/07

    Is there any other way of resolving this? For example iD Mobile checking the porting request?

    Thanks

    Nathan
