Problems roaming outside UK in EU

I was in France for two weeks and was supposed to be able to use my data and minutes there but even with roaming switched on and connected to Orange Fr I could not make or receive phone calls or send or receive text messages. Whatsapp worked when on Wifi but I was completely unable to use my phone  functions and could not access any codes from banks, gmail etc sent for two factor authentication. Does anyone have an explanation or solution? Amazed to discover there is no phone number or chat function on ID - basically no customer support at all. I am going to Istanbul tomorrow and am worried about being unable both to access any codes, which will impact my ability to manage money, and communicate with the people I’m meeting there if I get into difficulties. I intend to change my mobile provider as soon as I return home.

Number not transferring

My number was meant to transfer on Friday 29th April. I am still unable to make calls or texts as neither number is connecting and your live chat team is absolutely useless. You’re quick to take the first payment out but have been utterly useless at sorting this problem!! I have been told tech support is dealing with it but heard nothing back and when talking to live chat again they have no idea what’s going on and can’t check previous chat history??  ID number 07361 211949 that won’t connect and neither will my old number that was transferred by BT. BT have told me the error is on your end.

Charged for contract upgrade but I didn't get the upgrade.

I tried to upgrade a while ago and thought it didn’t work as I didn’t get any confirmation email or anything.Now I’m being charged for both but only receiving the benefits of the old contract.

 "Live chat" is a myth right?

I get no live chat button on https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat  no matter what browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari), no matter what device (Android phones, desktop PCs, laptops), no matter if I’m logged in or not, no mater if I reset/clear cookies, etc. "Live chat" is a myth right? So, the only way to complain that IDMObile ‘upgraded’ (increased charge) of my first SIM to pay, when in fact I ordered a second SIM is to leave a message on that phone number or write by post?https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/complaints-procedure

Moved from iD Mobile to Sky to iD Mobile, can I keep my number and use my old account?

Hi, I’ve just been told by an advisor that this is not possible but just wanted to check… I recently switched from ID to SKY but now want to come back to ID mobile (wifi calling). i have already ordered a sim and have it here but when i see my online account it has my old number (the one i want to bring back) and says i have a limited view of the account for 6m.  Is there really no way to bring back the mobile number to ID mobile? Thanks!

RPI on 30 day sim only plans. Been misled?

Hi all, I'm a newbie here and I just purchased a £10 30 day rolling SIM. There was no mention of any RPI increase when added to basket or when I done the checkout. It was after when I looked at the contract that the plan would go up 78p from next April. I know it's not a lot but on the community it was said by some staff member that "there would be no price increase on 30 day, 12 and 24 months SIM only deals". I feel I have been misled by this and I'm wanting anyone's response what I should do next. Leave or stay with id mobile. I can't chat to them as I need some sort of pin which I haven't got. Any help is appreciated.👍RegardsGary

Can't reply to Barclays fraud short number 60183...nor can I

HiI am not being allowed to reply to the message from shortcode 60183, it returns a message “Not sent. Tap to try again”The 60183 shortcode is from the Barclays fraud department and requires a Y or N response to a bank transfer request. I checked your Shortcode checker ==> https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/call-charges and it returned a zero cost (£0.00)I have My extra usage charge set at £25.00 - which means that the problem cannot be due to cost. Initially, in My services option (website or app), I have Premium set to Off (I cannot make premium calls/texts/mms) and Adult Content Filtering is set to Off...and I get the error message “Not sent. Tap to try again” In My services, I now set Premium to On (I can now make premium calls/texts/mms)...try again and receive the same error message “Not sent. Tap to try again” In My services, Adult Content Filtering is now set to On ...try again and receive the same error message “Not sent. Tap to try again” This is an issue with ID M
