Trying to make a complaint -- complaints button is missing

I was stung, without warning with a £25 roaming fee for having my phone switched on in my bag as I took a trip on a ferry. I did not use my phone.I was told by your Twitter team there was nothing that could be done.I want to elevate my case and make a complaint as the fee has caused me to go into my overdraft and has meant that I’ve not been able to turn on the heating this week, which is frustrating because of the snow, and dangerous for my two infant children.I went to your complaints page to try to elevate, but the button does not exist to complain online. I have tried in three different browsers on laptop and mobile.Please advise.

End of Contract and moving to another network provider

Hi, my contract will come to an end in 19days (29/03/2023) and I am not willing to upgrade nor stay with ID mobile. I have tried to follow the process of 30days cancellation but I received an sms that if I choose to end your plan today, my estimated final bill will be £58.95. This consists of the line rental for the remaining months of your contract (if any) and any outstanding balance on your account (this does not consist of any unbilled amounts). i would like a cancellation at the end of this contract and I am not ready to pay any extra. I am willing to wait until the 29th which is in 19days and would be porting to another network with my number and would want the direct debit to be cancelled.kindly assist

ID Mobile account showing incorrect details + unable to change data cap

My ID mobile online account (and app) are showing completely wrong numbers. I’m also unable to do anything with my account, such as set the data cap. The dates of the monthly allowances are also showing 2017, which is ridiculous. The pictures below show the issue:

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?

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?

Galaxy S23 vs iPhone 14

Samsung and Apple are the biggest names in the smartphone world, and their latest flagships are things of beauty.The new iPhone 14 family features four phones - the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Meanwhile, the new Galaxy S23 family is made up of three phones - Galaxy 23, Galaxy S23 Plus, Galaxy S23 Ultra.Thinking of making one of these your next mobile? Not sure which to go for? Let’s compare them to help you decide… Design and displayFirst, let’s have a quick weigh in, and it’s more or less a perfect match. In fact, each iPhone 14 model is roughly the same weight and size as its S23 counterpart with one exception – the S23 Ultra is bigger and heavier than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Display size is 6.9-inches vs 6.7-inches.Both phone familes have the same OLED displays, but there’s a real difference in refresh rate. All the S23s boast a super-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, which is only found on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 and iPhon

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.

£150 bonus payment not received for trade in on S22 Ultra from November

I purchased an S22 Ultra from ID Mobile while there was an offer for a £150 bonus trade in.  I received my trade in claim for the phone I sent, and an email saying I should hear back within 5 days. 5 weeks later, nothing. I have emailed several times to carphone warehouse, and tried contacting through their website. No reply.I feel completely let down and misled by this promotion. Please help me get this sorted out. Thanks

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?

999 Operator couldn't hear me

I just made a call to 999 and it was clear that the operator couldn’t hear me, she just kept asking questions, asked what number I’d dialled, didn’t respond to anything I was saying. Luckily this was not a situation where there was any immediate danger but it is very worrying that I was unable to make the call on my phone. I’ve never had any problems making calls to any other number.
