ridiculous charges.

I have recently took out a contract for 24 months with ID Mobile and you have already increased my monthly charge by over £2 a month, how many of these increases is there likely to be throughout the duration of my 24 month contract. I have also not received the £100 Currys voucher I was promised when I took on the contract.

cant use iD phone for texts in Costa Rica...

Hi.  I'm in Costa Rica and cannot send texts anywhere, and recieving them is iffy too.  I have iD roaming and international calling turned on in the app and in my phone settings.  Every text comes back with Error 38.  I have removed the SIM card and reinserted it, turned phone off and on etc  but no luck. Doesn't help that the iD app is frequently too busy to access either. I need text to keep in touch at home and for  my safety here. I can log into local  free WiFi networks ( but can't send or receive emails), and can use whatsapp ok.Any ideas?

Can I upgrade my contract early? I have broken my phone.

I have an iPhone SE 2020. It currently has a cracked screen and a cracked camera along with lots of scratches. My contract ends in July and I’m eligible for an upgrade in May. Is there any way I can discuss my options with iD in terms of an earlier upgrade? I would like to stay with iD as they’ve been good and have good prices. This phone has poor battery life and has breaking way too easily. Is there any phone you would recommend as a replacement?

New SIM Card - Emergency Calls Only

I've recently purchased a SIM card and so far have successfully used within a 4G LTE device. However I would like to register the SIM card so that I may access various facilities. When I put the SIM card into a dumb phone to receive the verification code, the phone seems to indicate "Emergency Calls Only". Please advise ASAP.Thanks.

Wifi calling not working on s20 plus 5g

It was working fine a few days ago, but not anymore. The only thing that I’ve done differently is to use a VPN to connect to turkey and other countries via a hotspot tunnel all traffic through that VPN for the hotspot. Not all the time of course. Could someone please check why it’s not being enabled?

Cannot login to change Direct Debit

I cannot remember my password for my account and when entering the mobile number, name and year of birth, I am repeatedly being told the credentials are wrong and to try again.  I can’t change the password, nor can I reset the account or log in. Is there a way a member of staff can reset my password on the account? I’m not sure I’ve ever logged into the ID account website before and picked this mobile up in 2018 for my business.

How can I stop this person from leaving me abusive voicemails?!

I have blocked this number on my phone and on WhatsApp and all social media. I have an iPhone 13. HOWEVER because I’m with ID mobile they are able to leave me countless abusive voicemails on a daily basis. I am forced to listen to and delete these voicemails so I can listen to my other voicemails.  I’ve contacted live chat and they were unable to help me. What else can I do? Go to the police? How can I stop this person from leaving voicemails on my phone?

Carrier settings lost after iphone update

My sons iPhone 7 had an update recently and for some reason there were no carrier settings sent.  I’ve tried everything, Apple Store (said it was a network provider issue) multiple resets, new SIM card and still nothing!  End result, he cannot use the phone to make or receive calls.  Is there any way to get the carrier settings sent to the phone?
