No 5G in 5G area

Hello, I switched to idMobile as the contract stated it included 5G but I never get 5G réception even Ina 5G area. My phone is definitely 5G ready as I was able to access 5G on it with my previous sim provider, so why can't I access 5G with idMobile?

Moving From Sim only to pay monthly and keeping my number

Hi I am currently on 1 month sim only with iD and have just purchased a phone through an external company on 24 month contract with iD and wish to cancel 1 month sim transferring the number to my new contract. The only reason I didnt upgrade through iD was because they didnt have the phone I wanted. Hope this can be done otherwise another number change in three years!! Thanks for your help.

lost sim while travelling

Hello, please anyone help if they can.i lost my sim while travelling. Contacted ID support asking to get an e-sim replacement as my contract is now over anyways. They said that they would have to ring me but they wouldn’t call me internationally. I’m not planning on being back in the U.K. for a while. I also can’t get into the app because it requires an otp verification via text ( which I can’t recieve) Any ideas or help?I can recieve messages and calls via WhatsAppThanks very much.

unable to make calls/ access internet

I posted earlier and received good advice to contact the live chat. After over an hour on the chat, the advisor has come back and said there is a fault whereby some customers cannot call out which is my main problem. I also cannot get internet unless I am at home. I can’t tell if I am being fobbed off. The advisor tried a eSIM which came through but made no difference at all! Can anyone advise on this please? Thank you.

Issue with porting

Good morning. I have read various tutorials and posts but I can’t quite see my issue. I have followed the PAC instructions and received confirmation that my old number would move by the 14th of May. Right enough, my old sim stopped working on the morning of the 14th so I popped my new ID Mobile sim in. I cannot call or message anyone but they can call me. I can access the internet at home. I have checked coverage here at work and 4G is excellent (I am at a rural school so no 5G for me here!) . I have the wifi symbol and where the signal bars usually are, there are 4 dots. I have switched it off and on, put into airplane mode and taken it out, cleaned the sim and all the rest of it. Not sure what else to do? Many thanks.

Dropped Phone

Unfortunately I dropped my phone (Pixel 7) and now it's not turning on. I know I might be able to get it repaired but that will probably be more than the cost of the phone. I would like to stay in this contract but not due a upgrade until more then 500 days. What are my options, I didn't take out extra insurance.

Why do I show full 5G but very poor signal?

Hi,  I have been with IDmobile a few weeks now and find my signal is very very poor. I live in Cornwall and it says my area has excellent 4G in the coverage checker.  What I find bizarre is I can be on the phone with reception that sounds like we’re talking underwater, yet my signal shows full 5G? This area of Cornwall does not have 5G. Alas, even with full 4G showing it can be the same.  Why can I not make a phone call with full signal showing, and why does 5G show up and have an even worse reception? Thanks

iPhone 15 Pro iMessage and FaceTime will not activate

iMessage worked while I was syncing iCloud from my old iPhone to my new, and iMessage was working fine until I erased my old iPhone (ready for trade in). Now, iMessage & Facetime wont activate; I’ve tried literally everything Apple (or any forum) suggests; turning iMessage on/off, signing out/in of iCloud, activating Airplane mode, restarting the phone, resetting network settings, removing & re-inserting the sim… literally everything.I still receive/can make SMS and calls. When looking in my iCloud account, it says my SIM is not associated with an Apple device?I don’t know any way to contact an agent for help… so here I am.

Need help! Phone number hasn't swapped over after switching to IDD

I recently took out a new contract with ID and switched from my old provider using a PAC. I have received confirmation that my phone number has switched now from ID and my old provider has confirmed they've cancelled my services but it hasn't changed over yet. I have tried restarting my phone.  How long should this take?
