Hi ​@Freddy96, 

 

You can access iD Mobile Live Chat by following these steps:

 

💬 Direct access:

👉 https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat

 

📲 How to use it:

  1. Open the link above
  2. Scroll down the page
  3. Click “Chat now” (you may need to accept cookies if prompted)
  4. Enter your details and start the chat
  5. You’ll then be connected to an advisor


⏱️ Availability:

Live Chat is usually available during published customer service hours, and if it’s outside those times, the chat button may appear as “offline” until agents are available.

 

If you’re having trouble loading it, try:

  • Incognito/private browser window
  • Switching browser (Chrome/Edge recommended)
  • Turning off VPN/ad blockers

If you want, I can also help you with what to say when you get through so it gets resolved faster 👍

i bought an e sim but it does not work with my mobile phone - the phone is too old. 

 

I went to currys today to collect the physical sim and they have given me a blank sim and the sim number but i do not know the telephone number that accompanies the sim card.  i need someone to activate the physical sim with the sim number. can you help please?

Hi ​@artiparikh,

 

I'm sorry to hear that your SIM card isn't working.

Could you let us know a little more about the issue?

For example:

Are you unable to make or receive calls?
Are texts affected?
Is mobile data not working?
Is the phone showing No Service, Emergency Calls Only, or SIM Not Detected?
Have you recently changed phones or received a replacement SIM?
What make and model of phone are you using?

In the meantime, please try:

Restarting your phone.
Turning Airplane Mode on for 30 seconds and then back off.
Removing and reinserting the SIM card (if it's a physical SIM).
Trying the SIM in another phone, if possible.

Regards,

Gemma M

Hi ​@Joyce Konamah Ntakor,

 

I’m sorry to hear that you returned the phone and are still waiting for a replacement.

 

iD Mobile does not provide handset insurance directly, so if the return was arranged as part of an insurance policy, you’ll need to contact the insurance provider you originally spoke with. They’ll be responsible for checking the returned handset and providing an update on any replacement.

 

Unfortunately, we wouldn’t be able to investigate or arrange the replacement handset from our end.

 

Regards,

Hi ​@Joyce Konamah Ntakor.

 

Thank you for sharing this, and I am very sorry to hear what has happened.

 

iD Mobile does not offer insurance, so I am afraid the person you spoke to was not from iD Mobile. We are concerned by what you have described and would like our team to look into it as a priority.

 

Please contact us directly via Live Chat at https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat so that we can review your order and the return. As the insurance was not arranged through iD Mobile, please also contact the insurance provider directly to dispute this, using contact details from their official website or paperwork.

 

Thanks,

Marquerita
