Hi, 

I've just signed up with ID mobile and transferred my old phone number to ID. I've received the text message telling me everything is set up and ready to use, however, I can send and receive text messages but I cannot make calls, it's literally silence when I try to make a call. When someone tries to ring me, they get a dialling tone but nothing happens at my end. Can someone advise me. Also, it's very difficult to contact ID mobile which is a bit ironic for a communications company.

Hi ​@Wallpap,

 

I'm really sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with your services. Please try the steps below, depending on the type of phone you have:


For Android:

  • Open Settings
  • Tap General Management
  • Tap Reset
  • Select Reset network settings

 

For iPhone:

  • Go to Settings
  • Tap Phone
  • Tap My Number
  • Delete the old number
  • Enter the new number
  • Tap Save

 

Then follow these steps to refresh iMessage: 

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Tap Messages
  3. Turn iMessage OFF
  4. Go to Settings > General
  5. Tap Reset
  6. Choose Reset Network Settings
  7. Once your iPhone restarts, go back to Settings
  8. Tap Messages
  9. Turn iMessage ON again

 

Your iPhone should now recognise the new SIM and verify your number.
 

Regards,
