Apple Music/Arcade Offer - UID Missing or incorrect
Have received the joining offer for Apple. Apple TV worked fine but Music and Arcade are saying “UID Missing or incorrect.” Have tried on several browsers with no success. Please send me a private message to advise. Many thanks in advance.

Unable to Set up Id account
As title says I am unable to set up id account, My number has changed to my old one using my PAC code which the site doesn’t recognise. Now I am able to start the process using the number that came with the phone unfortunately it then says we will send a 1 time pass code to your mobile number which is the the one that came with the phone that doesn’t now exist…. Going in circles here.

Port not completed as expected
I switched just over a week ago and sent my code to switch my old number the port was due on the 16th of this month and it still has not ported but I did notice today that my old number account (Lebara) is deactivated as it won’t let me log in or recognise my details. When is my old number coming as it has halted access to slot of important things.

Using my phone once switching over to ID
I have switched provider to ID mobile. I sent the PAC code in and received a text to say my number had switched to ID mobile and to restart my phone. I have restarted my phone many times since receiving this text but still cannot use my phone, except if i connect to wifi. There is a link to the text to connect to if i have issues with the phone but this connects to a generic id website which is not helpful. Can anyone help?

UID missing - Apple Offers
I’ve been trying to redeem apple offers Tv/music/arcade, but like others on this forum im getting error UID Missing or Incorrect when i click the links on the welcome email. The TV Link was missing from the email and instead Mcafe for 90 days (Which i wont be redeeming) I’ve tried to resolve with chat, however they’ve not been able to help and im quite shocked at their responses. Firstly they said they cant help and that i need to try and resolve this issue with Apple The second option was that they will cancel my contact and will refund what i’ve paid since joining. The third option was that they will give me 1 month credit on my contact, and not give me the offers. Does anyone know how i can get some help to get the working links for apple offers? I have tried the links on different browsers and different devices - Same issue.

New customer can't find phone number or activate wifi calling
Hiya I am very stuck, I have a new id mobile SIM I'm a brand new customer and a pixel 9a. No welcome email from id mobile, no info in the SIM leaflet, can't make an account for id mobile to check anything because I don't have the phone number, phone number shows unknown on phone settings, can't call a friend etc to get number because no mobile signal at all. WiFi calling is turned on but appears to not be working. I have a pac code from EE but can't do anything with this for all of the above reasons. What on earth shall I do?

No text received from iD Mobile after switching with PAC Code over 48 ago and no call or text capability.
I haven’t received the iD Mobile ‘confirmation’ text after switching with my PAC Code over 48 hours ago, as promised. I have the iD ‘logo’ and 4G data showing and working on my phone, but no calls or text capability. The help guide steps haven’t worked and the Chat Bot on Live Chat doesn’t understand my problem. Please help and advise with a solution.

no connection during phone number porting
My phone number port date was yesterday and I lost connection at around 3pm. It’s now 8am the following day and I still have no connection? I can’t log in to my mobile app as the number I was given says it’s incorrect and my number it is porting too hasn’t finished porting, so that won’t work either. So now I can only message if I’m on WiFi, which is completely messing up my work day! Apparently there isn’t a number I can call to speak to someone so what can I do??

can't view some websites
I'm new to ID Mobile and I'm having a problem trying to view a website. I have a dual SIM phone and my other SIM allows me to view these sites but my new ID mobile SIM in the same phone, does not. I have the adult content filter set to view adult sites, although the site in question isn't exactly adult. It's my local libraries log in page. Is there another setting I need to turn on or off please?

Help please! i cannot make calls or send texts
How do I transfer my phone number from my ID Mobile SIM only plan to my new ID Mobile phone contract please? I did not buy the phone and package as a formal upgrade as I got a deal online so the new plan does not show in the app/ my account. Additionally I do not have the original SIM card that came with the phone. I got a replacement SIM from Currys. i already transferred content of original phone to the new one but now cannot make or receive calls or send texts on either phone unless online eg via WhatsApp. I need a phone for work so am desperate! Thank you in advance.

Switched from another provider, used PAC code but still on both networks, being charged on both networks, nobody able to help!
Hi Am at my wits end please can anyone help. 1. Started a new contract with iD moving from 02. Given a pac code and esim. Followed steps correctly.new phone good to go 2. Realised we were still on 02 network, ASWELL AS iD!! Paying two contracts. Using 02 network predominantly. 3. 02 have now provided us with a new pac code. 4. I can't use the new PAC code as we don't know the transaction number, so can't go any further. Can't speak to anyone to help. Tried calling and they're unhelpful. Referring us to 02/Curry's / and going round in circles as they refer us to iD!!! Driving us insane. Please please if anyone can help us find a way of getting round this transaction number i would be so grateful.

Unanle to receive one time codes for new device on banking apps
I’m setting up a new phone and have transferred network from O2 to ID 3 . When attempting to login to banking apps, they’ve sent One Time verification codes and I haven’t received them. Other personal Text messages are coming through fine. All apps are set to ON on for notifications etc. I’ve got a decent signal , I’ve shut down phone and restarted …. Feeling a little frustrated . A new physical Sim has been used and number transferred. How can I access my Apps ? Would very much like this resolved ASAP !!! Thank you

Can’t access my phone number after switching to iD mobile
Hi, my phone number was meant to switch from my old phone and network provider to iD mobile on my new iPhone 15 on 17th July 10pm. But the number has not switched and I cannot access my number on either phone. I have tried to manually reset the network settings and change my phone number through iPhone Settings but it hasn’t worked. My new phone is an IPhone 15 iOS 18.5, and I opted to use an eSIM.

voicemail pin refused
I have been trying to set up voicemail but every pin I try is unacceptable. They have been been mostly 4 or 6 numbers which would mean something to me but not simple things like 1234 etc. What am I doing wrong.
