USA Roaming

Good morning. We are going to the USA for a few days and need to be able to use my data whilst there. I know all ID Mobile plans use the Three network. Three do something called a “Go Roam” package which charges you £5 per day whilst in USA and it allows you to use all your allowances. Is this something I can get through ID Mobile or do I have to go to Three directly ??

Unable to register

I am trying to register with ID mobile and also to register the app on my phone. I’ve received several emails telling me to reset PIN etc. I cannot register as it askes for a 8 digit reference number that should be sent to me. Is this sent to my new phone number or my old one? This is unhelpful as I have not received my SIM after a week. I also cannot even find where to get help via chat as it asks for the same 8 digit reference number. If I can’t even ask anybody at ID for an answer I may have to cancel and go elsewhere.

Services Blocked

Hi, I paid my bill this morning as I received a text to say payment was due.  It is showing on my account that you have received my payment, but it won’t let me set up a direct debit as it says I have an outstanding balance of “£0.00” and all of my services are still blocked. I am unable to use 5G, telephone or text. I have not received any text or email from ID Mobile to say the payment has been received, but I can see on my online account that it has. Please could this be resolved as a matter of urgency as I use my phone for work. Thanks,Laura

Steam & BattleNet aren't accepting my number for 2FA

Whenever I try to add my IDMobile phone number to my steam account for security measures and to setup 2FA, I get this error:“Unfortunately we are unable to accept VOIP phone numbers. Please enter a mobile number associated with a phone that you physically have in your possession.” Their F.A.Q gives us this:“Why is my number being blocked because it's considered VoIP? - We are unable to accept new VoIP phone numbers on Steam due to them not meeting our security requirements. If your phone number is blocked because it's considered VoIP you will need to find a mobile or prepaid phone number to use on Steam. Select carriers use VoIP technology in their cellular plans and we are unable to support these. Our system will notify you when you enter your phone number if we consider it to be a VoIP number.” Meanwhile, in a similar manner, when I try to add my phone number to my Blizzard BattleNet Account, I get a this error: “Please enter a post-paid phone number.” and their F.A.Q. gives us this”

6 signs that it’s time to upgrade your phone

Is your smartphone struggling with basic tasks? Do you dread going out without a charger? Sounds like it’s time for an upgrade. Unlike cosmetic issues that can sometimes be fixed, processor slow-down and battery issues are inevitable as your phone ages. There are loads of warning signs to watch out for, so we’ve popped a few of them in this handy list. If any ring true, it’s time to consider how long you’ve had your phone and if it’s still up to the task.  1.Failing battery and random shutdowns  A sure sign that your phone’s on its way out is when the battery life starts to fail. Smartphone batteries are made with lithium-ion and can go through 300-500 full charge cycles before they start to deteriorate. After that, they tend to only hold between 70-80 % of their original capacity, eventually losing the ability to recharge altogether. If your phone randomly starts shutting down, it’s time to think seriously about replacing it. The last thing you want is to be out and about with an unus

Data has stopped working

Unlimited data SIM has stopped working. Suspect some bar needs lifting, as I have had the SIM for one month now. Tried in 3 different devices and it’s the same.

not receiving calls and network issues

I am at the end of my teather I’ve had family trying to call me and it’s just blank as if it’s been blocked even on Wi-Fi calls, I’m getting really fed up now I’ve gone onto the links to contact someone and they are not able to link me as it’s not a valid link. In all my years of being with other companies this has to be the worst. How do I speak to a human being to speak to someone about the problems I’m encountering. I’m so very very frustrated

Been asked to call iD Mobile re: new order.

Hi,I placed an order for a phone yesterday and received an email today saying [iD Mobile] still need to speak to me about my order, then I got an email straight after that with my contract summary and info (which I then confirmed to have read and agreed). I tried calling the number given to me but hung up after waiting over half an hour on the line; there was no advising what number in the queue I was in - it wasn’t much incentive to stay on the line and I’m quite busy.Does this sound like I’m going to be turned down for the contract then? FWIW I have good credit rating, nothing untoward on my report. So a bit confused by all this. Hopefully someone here can advise.Many thanks.

Final Demand Notice - for a Service I've Never Had, nor Requested?

Hi, I’ve received a Final Demand Notice for Telephone No. 07401 603610 I’ve never requested, nor even enquired about, a service from ID Mobile - so I don’t know what it is but know it’s not mine!  The Bank Account number given for the DD in the initial setup is not mine either. Can anyone suggest what I should do next, please? Thanks, Alan

Meet the Google Pixel 7 family

All you need to know about Google’s new flagship phones, Pixel 7 & Pixel 7 Pro.Google has unveiled two new flagship stunners, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. We had a chance to get up close and personal with them recently, so read on to see what makes them so special.Dazzling design and displayGoogle is sticking with its distinct Pixel design. No surprises here. So just like the Pixel 6 phones, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro have the unique camera bar running right across the back. The new metallic finish is definitely more stylish and subtle than the older Pixel 6 version though, and the bar now blends nicely into the frame.The rest of the back is glass, giving it a real quality feel. You’ve got a few colour options. For Pixel 7 you can go for Obsidian (black), Snow (white) or Lemongrass (a pale yellow). For the Pixel 7 Pro, you’ve got the choice of Obsidian, Snow or Hazel (grey).The Pixel 7 has a 6.3-inch display, so slightly smaller than the Pixel 6’s 6.4-inch display. The Pixel 7 Pro
