Hi ​@me julie
 

I am very sorry to hear that you are experiencing ongoing signal issues at both your home and workplace. I understand how incredibly frustrating it is when you miss important calls and feel disconnected until you leave the building.

 

At iD Mobile, we want to ensure you stay connected, but please keep in mind that indoor signal strength can often be affected by building materials, local terrain, or temporary mast maintenance.

 

Recommended Troubleshooting
To resolve this, please try the following steps to improve your connection:

  • Enable Wi-Fi Calling (Highly Recommended):

This is the most effective solution for indoor signal issues. It allows your phone to route calls and texts over your Wi-Fi network instead of relying on a mobile mast.

  • iPhone: Settings > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Calling > Toggle ON.
  • Android: Open the Phone app > Settings > Calls > Wi-Fi Calling > Toggle ON.
  • Check the iD Network Status Checker:

There may be a temporary fault or planned maintenance on the masts near your home or work postcodes. Please check our Status Checker for real-time updates.

  • The SIM Swap Test (Isolation Test):

If possible, take your SIM card out and place it into another unlocked phone.

  • If the signal works in a different phone: The issue is likely related to your handset’s antenna or internal settings.
  • If the signal is still missing: This confirms the issue is either with the SIM card itself or the network coverage in your specific building.
  • Check for Software & Carrier Updates:

Sometimes a network-side fix is pushed via a software update.

  • iPhone: Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear within 30 seconds.
  • Android: Settings > System > Software Update.
  • Clean and Inspect the SIM Card:

Even a tiny amount of dust or a microscopic scratch on the gold chip can cause intermittent "No Service" issues. Remove the SIM, wipe it gently with a dry, lint-free cloth, and re-insert it firmly.

 

What to do if these fail


If you have performed the SIM swap test and the issue persists across different devices, your SIM card may be faulty or there is a specific coverage gap that our technical team needs to investigate.

 

Please contact our Live Chat team immediately. We may need to send you a replacement SIM card (free of charge) or escalate a "Network Investigation" to our partner network, Three.

Hi ​@me julie,

 

I am so sorry to hear of the ongoing issues that you are facing with your coverage. 

 

Please could you provide the full postcode linking to the area that you are facing issues in. Once we have this, we will be able to check the coverage in your area to see if there are any reported issues. 

 

Regards,

Hi ​@me julie.

 

Thanks for your post. I’m sorry to hear this has been ongoing for you.

 

I’ve checked the coverage in your area, and the maps show you should have good outdoor signal but limited indoor signal. This can sometimes affect performance inside buildings depending on location and conditions.

 

In the meantime, please try the following steps to help isolate the issue:

Use the coverage checker here: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/coverage
Remove and reinsert your SIM card
Try your SIM in another phone if possible, to see if the issue is handset or SIM related.

 

This will help determine whether the issue is with the network coverage indoors, the SIM, or the device itself.

 

Thanks,

Marquerita

Hi ​@me julie,

 

We kindly ask that you do not cancel your direct debit as we do not want this to affect you negatively with regards to your services being cut off and your credit file being negatively affected. Once the issue has been resolved, you are able to get in touch with our customer service team via live chat, by clicking here: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat to request compensation for the time that you have been affected. 

 

Then additionally, to ​@hannahgrainger and ​@DellZincht, as well as ​@me julie, at the moment, we’re aware of the problem and our teams are actively working to resolve it as quickly as possible. However, we’re not yet able to confirm how long the resolution will take or whether the issue is affecting all networks or only iD Mobile customers.

 

Please be assured that this is being treated as a priority, and we’ll provide further updates as soon as more information becomes available. Thank you again for your understanding and continued patience.
