Question

4 months in and account suddenly disconnected with zero notice.

Started a new contract in June, DD active and always paid, most recent bill came out two days ago.

 

Today a text came in saying the following:

We've received your request to leave iD. Your disconnection is due on 19-10-2026. Once disconnected, your number will be lost - please contact us before this date if you change your mind or want to keep your number - https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat. We can then cancel your request or give you a PAC. If you are due a refund upon disconnection and have an active Direct Debit with us, we'll refund you within 30 days from the date of your last bill.

This was at 16:47, my mobile data no longer works. According to ID mobile chat service which wasn't overly helpful says the following

 

After checking the system, I can see that the plan was disconnected today. The notes indicate that a previous disconnection attempt failed because the phone was returned. However, the plan was not reverted back to the previous plan

 

 

Now, I still have the handset, never wanted to return it and also have no previous plans as I swapped to ID mobile from O2 at the start of this contract.

 

Anyone experienced anything similar? Obviously I want my contract reinstated but apparently it's a minimum of waiting 48 hours to raise to their technical team. 

 

This needs to be escalated and reversed immediately, but there appears to be noone that can help me. I just don't see how they can cancel and say that message without ever talking to me, to me it seems fraudulent and more wanting the mobile number to access accounts.

    Hi ​@Kramsit.

     

    Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry for the worry and disruption this has caused, especially with your mobile data no longer working. I understand why you want this sorted quickly.

     

    As this involves your account, it needs to be looked at privately. Please contact us through our live chat: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat.

     

    When you get in touch, please explain that you didn't request the disconnection and want it escalated, so the team can review it as a priority.

     

    Thanks,
