I was offered and agreed to an upgrade . Asked for Google 9A , was sent a Google 7A in a 9A box , I have returned the 7A , but now  ID  refuse to either process the return , or send the proper phone , major dispute now in place, I now have no phone , but  ID insist that I continue to pay new contract ,

Hi , 

It would be wonderful if those were to happen , the whole thing has been quite stressful .

Please forgive me for my not saying thank you just yet , but the Customer Service Team 

have left me with doubts about the ID experience.

I have reinstated the Direct Debit , any idea how long it will be before the service is restarted ?

Morning ​@Robert MacGregor,

I’m sorry to hear this has happened. I’ve escalated this with the team and will get back to you shortly.

Thanks.

Hi . Thanks , but this has already been escalated , Customer Service team very unhelpful , almost mocking , so no real point in you trying to help ., but thanks again anyway.

I have cancelled my Direct debit , but know that I will be chased up for this too , will likely have to fulfill whole contract for a phone that I do not have .

I mostly just put this message on here , to highlight to others that ID are not all smily and helpful.

Afternoon ​@Robert MacGregor,

Just to provide an update. Our team will get back to you via email with more information. However:

  1. We’ll process an exchange so a replacement Pixel 9a will be sent out.
  2. Your 1st month of Line Rental will be covered.
  3. An additional £30 Good Will Gesture will be applied to your account.

I’d encourage you to reinstate your Direct Debit in the iD Mobile app, here’s how:

Again, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. It has been fed back to the relevant teams.

Thanks.

@Robert MacGregor -

I completely understand. Typically your service should resume within 24 hours, assuming there is no outstanding payments on the account. Please wait for an email from our Social Team (I believe you’ve been in contact with them previously!). Thanks.
