Issues with both the mobile app (biometrics) and Web based laptop access

Since the software changeover, I’m having major issues with both the mobile app and the web based laptop access.The mobile app asks me if I want biometric login enabled - but if I try to log in with a fingerprint I get an inane ‘Oops something has gone wrong’ (who designs this stuff? ‘Oops’ really?) message. If I then login using a password, I can at least log in, but if I then try to turn on biometrics from my account, I get the same inane ‘Oops’ message). Using Android 14 on Samsung Galaxy A14. If I try to login from my laptop, it’s completely hit and miss. This morning I get a ‘Let’s Get Started’ message, followed by the email and password (with captcha) login route - but it goes nowhere. It just loops then on ‘Let’s get started’ over and over again OR I get a blank screen. I’ve cleared data/cache and retried - still with no joy. Using Firefox 124.0.2 on Fedora 38.Any idea when this will be fixed?

New ID mobile issues

Hi,I can't check my data usage, minutes usage or text usage in the new app. It just shows a general overview of my data, texts and minutes left. When are you going to update the new app so you can view the usage properly?Thanks,Abi.

Poor mobile data signal at home (want to use three home signal)

I am currently experiencing poor signal inside my home.I was thinking about getting some device to boost the signal within my home, such as a femtocell. But it seems that iD don’t make a femtocell, but iD does use the Three network and Three have a femtocell.If I was to get a femtocell from Three (the Three Home Signal), would that help boost the signal within my house?

Cannot access Whatsapp after transferring from Vodafone

I recently moved from Vodafone to ID. At the same time, I upgraded to an iPhone 15 pro. However, when I tried to open WhatsApp for the first time after transferring from my old phone/SIM, it keeps asking to add my number. I did follow the instructions on WhatsApp on my old phone to transfer the chats but the issues seems to be when I try to add my number into the WhatsApp app on my new phone. I’ve tried uninstalling the app from the new phone and reinstalling it again but I just seem to be going round in circles. I’ve also reset the network settings, switched the phone on/off etc. I’ve watched multiple videos on YouTube but nothing seems to be working! I kept the same number when I moved from Vodafone to ID. Has anyone else had the same issues and if so, how did you resolve the issue?

OTP vreification code not received from Banks after porting my number in

Hi,I am frustrated by the fact I am not be able to receive verification code / OTP from banks, however, I can get normal SMS from individuals or text questionnaires, for example from Currys. Handset: Google Pixel 8 proTimeline:8th April 2024Porting number was scheduled on 8th April, and it is completed at mid-day. Having tested immediately, it works all good as treat, I had one Bank app migrated with OTP code received. So, I thought it was excellent, and decided to do the rest migration in the evening after work.  In the evening, about 5 or 6pm, the SMS messaging service became weird when I tried to migrated other bank apps over. I have no longer received OTP code at all. Then, I found if my family text me, the SMS will be landed onto my old phone with the old service provider, if I sent SMS to my family, they will see the SMS from my iD temp number, not the number being ported in! all messed up!9th April 2024Spent a lot of time on the Chat with iD support people, gone through all kind

Anyone else unable to log into ID mobile app?

I see this is a recurring issue, but today when I attempt to open the app, I'm diverted to a Web page to "re-register." Upon doing so, I'm asked to add my mobile number, then get an error message "oops, something went wrong." Anyone else?

Credit Checking Flawed

Hello ID Community,I'm wondering if anyone can explain some detail behind how the following has unfolded:1) Ordered £16/unlimited SIM as existing customer deal. 12 months contract.1a) Cancelled: "bad credit"2) Ordered £8 smaller deal. 1 month contract.Just to highlight: this is a total commitment of £8. 2a) Cancelled: "bad credit"3) Found out ID uses Equifax. Spoke to Equifax. Not only is my credit score very good, but also the specific details that ID likes to check all have no negative issues. They're all fine. I'm going to Currys this afternoon to have some discussion about this. ID has put me in a position where my current EE contract has nearly expired, but I have nothing to replace it with. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

payment been taken 3 times, trying to find someone to contact

Hi all, First time user of this community.I was recently sent a message informing me that my phone payment was due in 2 days and that I had to pay. I’ve been having issues setting up a direct debit, which has meant these are regular. I attempted to pay but when i attempted to pay I entered the details and got a “Ooops! something went wrong” and never received a confirmation of payment. Two days later my phone got cut and I received the text message and again attempted to pay, but the above happened again, on 2 different cards. Again, neither have received confirmation of payment. Yesterday i attempted again and the same happened, however, I then received a notification from my bank, as ID Mobile have taken 3 separate payments from me for my phone contract this month. This totals £110 in total. I’m a relatively low income job and have a family to support, so every £ is crucial in the current climate. I’m trying to get hold of someone to see how this is resolved, as my balance currently
