terrible signal and call delays

Since switching to ID mobile I have had terrible signal, resulting in lost calls and call delays. The first 10-20 seconds of my call are fine but then a delay starts to occur between the sound being delivered and received, this gradually gets worse. I called ID mobile who suggested to switch to an esim, which i did wjith no improvement! Then they blamed a faulty handset (Brand new). I have basically been unable to use my phone for the duration of this contract and have to utilise wifi calling which isnt what im paying for. Has any one else had this problem?

    Yes! I switched a few weeks ago. It’s not too bad where I live but I work in central London and it’s awful. I’m literally in a dead zone and can’t call/text anyone!

    Honestly its a nightmare, I cannot get signal in my house and its sketchy when im out and about too. I would suggest cancelling and moving elsewhere whilst you can.
