Twitter verification code error

I have been using 2-factor authentication for my twitter account for a long time and it was working fine. A few days ago I couldn’t log onto my account as verification code was not being texted to my phone. I am now receiving this message“Error.We cannot send a text message to this phone number because its operator is not supported.” Has anyone faced this problem before? How can I address this? With many thanks  Munya

Wrong number showing on texts

My PAC code has successfully been activated and the number is working. However when I message certain people (so not all people) it is coming from a completely different number. (Mobile number). When they ring or text this number, it is invalid. How do I delete this number, or take this number off my SIM so it stops confusing people.I have visited O2 (my previous provider) and Carphone Warehouse and they cannot help me with this problem. (I have a SAMSUNG)  Thanks

No 5g?

Hello,I’m new to IDM, and since joining i have never had 5g. (i travel around for my work, to places i KNOW have “three 5g” enabled. as it used to work on previous provider - Smarty who also use Three’s network)Can you check and see if perhaps 5g wasn’t enabled on my NEW account? (even though order said 5g)Or perhaps i need to enable it on my phone (which would be weird being it a brand new phone) - google pixel 7 pro.  KindestJordan

Is there anyone within ID mobile who actually gives a toss about customers?

So I noticed an unknown direct debit from IDM - thought it was fraud so immediately cancelled it and reported it to customer support. Wifey then tells me it was for a phone she set up 3 years ago and only used for a few months. After several emails to CS I eventually managed to find all of the original account related emails in the hope of cancelling this unused contract - not a chance. Send us a copy of your passport and driving license and we will sort this out. Reluctantly I did this last weekend and not suprisingly have had zero response despite reminding them. Customer service is non existant. The live chat could nou have been more unhelpful if they had tried. I only need to pay whatever balance is due then cancell the contract. Ive tried to access the account via the app but it wont let me How hard can it be? This has already had a negative impact on my credit score and without IDM doing something about it will continue to. What else can I do? IDM tell me that they have tried to

Messages, wrong and right numbers.

I have recently changed to I'd mobile from 3.  All the pac code stuff was easy.  When text messages are sent, some get sent from the correct number, others get sent from the wrong number.  People who get the wrong number, always get that number.  People who get the right number, always get the right number.  All can reply to the text, even those that have received the wrong number.  Wrong number recipients can not ring the wrong number.  My daughter gets the wrong number, whilst her partner gets the right number.  Both are on Vodaphone and live together.  I have tried deleting contacts and recreating them.  The phone is determined to continue to send texts with the wrong number to certain people and the right number to others who always get the right number.  All stored numbers seem to be correct.  Any ideas?

incorrect contract and can't return

Was set up on the wrong contract. Even though paying the amount for the higher contract I'm told it can't be fixed easily and I must return the phone then restart the whole process. Can't believe that you can't switch the contract onto the correct one!  Told to return phone to Currys. Arrive at store told I can't return there. Try to get back in contact with ID mobile, cant get connected on the live chat as too busy.  Stuck with the correct phone, which I can't use, can't return and can't speak to anyone to resolve this problem. What a joke

Little to No Network Signal

Just joined iD on the weekend and all seemed to be working fine from my home.However in the office today and i’m getting little to no network signal.  It seemed to work earlier but despite getting 4G, i was barely getting over 1MB speeds.  I now don’t seem to be getting any signal and the signal icon has an exclamation mark next to it.I tried to use the Live Chat but kept getting a Live Chat transfer failure message.I’ve restarted the phone several times, put it in and out of airplane mode and remove and reseated the sim but no change.Help with this would be appreciated.Not a good start!

End contract

I have only been with ID for 2 months and I really hate the phone I have chosen, and the network is poor. I want to change my phone when the new Samsung comes out, but will ID let me pay to get out of my contract and go back to my old provider?

Face Recognition App Log-in Not Available

I've recently joined ID and am really happy with it so far. I've set my ID App for biometric log-in (fingerprint) and it works fine. My wife has now joined ID too but biometric log-in is not shown as an option on the 'Log-in Preference' screen. My wife's phone has face recognition enabled and all the support articles say that you can use fingerprint or face recognition. I've checked everything I can think of within the ID account and phone settings and still no joy.Has anyone else encountered this issue and fixed it?Would also be good to have confirmation from anyone with a Pixel 4XL that they have successfully enabled face recognition log-in to the ID App.Thanks.

Transferred from EE to ID, old number transferred but sending texts as temporary number & old number , HELP!

I have transferred from EE to ID. It has taken over a week for the PUC code & for ID to successfully transfer/keep my old EE number. However, I am now having contacts receive texts from my old EE number which is correct, but also having contacts receive texts from the temporary ID number. I've restarted the phone twice. Please help as this is the phone I use for work and worry clients can't get hold of me. Thank you
