password reset not working
Hi there, I've tried to log in on browser a number of times and am stuck in a loop at 'what's your email address' page. It's not accepting my (correct) password. I have reset my password a number of times which doesn't help the situation. I need to increase my roaming allowances but can't login to do so.

SMS to old SIM
Just joined ID from EE, transferred my number in the normal way with the PAC code. I'm getting phone calls to my new SIM with my old number as expected, but SMS text messages still go to my OLD SIM even tho it says that is has no service and should be deactivated. My new ID SIM make calls from my old number as expected but sends SMS messages from the number it started with, which should be dead and buried now. Can anyone help? Will it just sort itself out in time? Thanks, Alex

Roaming still not working despite following all the advise
I have taken all the steps to resolve roaming issues. I’ve reset the network and everything that was advised. Still no luck. The roaming choice is not even available on my phone, so I am told in that case to contact ID, but there is no way of contacting anyone. I have an eSIM from ID and another card from another provider.

roaming
I am currently on holiday in Norfolk UK. I have received messages regarding roaming charges and think I have been charged my data cap of £5 when I have never left the country. How do I go about getting this refunded?

Urgent Help Needed – Replacement SIM Not Activated After 3 Days
I ordered a replacement SIM which I received 3 days ago, but it still hasn’t been activated. I’ve tried restarting my phone and checking for updates, but I still have no service. I posted in the community forum yesterday and was told that a message was sent to me, but I haven’t received anything and wasn’t told where to find it. I’ve checked my email, and account dashboard — no updates. To make things more difficult, your chat system appears to be down, so I haven’t been able to reach anyone directly. I’m now left without service and urgently need assistance. Could someone please: Confirm the activation status of my replacement SIM Let me know if there’s anything further I need to do on my end Provide an estimated time for activation or escalation path if needed This is quite urgent, so I’d appreciate any help you can offer as soon as possible.

can i use my plan in Republic of Ireland
Hi all, I have an unlimited plan on data, call and messages. But I have just received a text as I entered Dublin port that I will be charged for anything I use. Is this a mistake by ID?

Switched to ID mobile, can make calls but cant receive them
Hi Tried to talk to the online chat earlier but took 30 mins of exchanging messages and made no progress (other than being asked if I had put the sim in the phone !). Moved to ID Mobile and had old number ported over. This happenend on Tuesday but it hasnt worked properly. My phone registers as my old number and I can dial out and send text messages etc but no-one can call me or send me anything. If you try and call my number it says ‘number not recognised’ or ‘not in service’. Anyone had this and got any idea what to do ? Phone is a Pixel 7, have done what ID Mobile online chat have said (check number in personal info, check SIM card has been put into phone). Will try them again tomorrow - at the moment paying for a service that doesnt work. Thanks

roaming whithout leaving UK
Just received sms while riding my bike on Norfolk cost. Have I been charged? Hi, we've noticed that you might be travelling by ship or plane. Calls, texts, and data are all chargeable and do not come out of your standard allowances or UK data add-ons. It will cost GBP9.60 per MB, GBP6.00 per minute, and GBP1.20 per text to roam. To protect you from excessive charges, a GBP45.00 roaming data cap is in place. For more information on roaming charges or how to set or amend your bill cap, visit idmobile.co.uk/roaming or dial +447482227777 free from your iD phone. Enjoy your trip!

sim not delivered
I was supposed to get my sim card two days ago. I got the email saying it has been delivered- but it hasn't. What do I do? Royal Mail guidelines says I should contact the sender, but I see no customer service email here.

Poor Data Speed and Signal for months now
Both my partner and I have iPhone 13s on the latest software. For the last few months we have travelled around the UK and the signal has been very bad 1 or 2 bars everywhere, and extremely slow data if any at all. Most of the time we can’t make calls or send texts even when a signal is showing. we have reset phone settings. We have had new SIM cards and E Sims. Still rubbish everywhere. have been an ID mobile customer for around 7 years and the signal and coverage has only got worse and worse. what else can we do? We have tried everything suggested multiple times. Has got to the point that we want to cancel and switch networks but feel like we shouldn’t have to pay the extortionate exit fee as we are only leaving as we are not getting the promised service

Switched from EE but still showing new number instead of transferred number
Just recently signed up to iD mobile, switching from EE. Wanted to keep my number so went through the steps of transferring it over and I received a text today to say the switch had gone through. However I’ve just had a look on my device info on my Apple account and it’s still showing my new phone number for my new phone and my old number on my old phone. How do I go about changing this? Do I need to activate my SIM card? Should I have done that? I’m receiving all messages and calls on my new phone and have signal. The new number is also showing on my ‘sign in & security’, how do I get rid of this and it’s obviously not being used now that I’ve transferred my old number across. TIA

Wrong phone delivered - no updates
I seem to have the same issue as a number of other ID mobile customers - I ordered an iPhone 16 Plus, but was delivered an iPhone 15 by DPD. The box was sealed when it arrived, and I opened it before realizing that the phone was not what I ordered. I have followed the process of registering a complaint with customer service, but the 6 business days specified for investigation have passed, and I have no updates on the status of the complaint. Does anyone have any advice on moving this forward? In a phone call with customer service today I was assured that the matter would be escalated and I should wait 72 hrs, but I have no faith that this will produce anything, Is there another avenue to make a complaint?

New phone - switch hasn't occured
Hi, I bought a new phone from Carphone warehouse - Google pixel 9. I was on the Three network, and I gave over the code to keep my number, when I took out the contract. The switch was supposed to happen on Tuesday. On Wednesday morning (today) 10am I received an email saying the switch had been completed. I didn't receive a new SIM, so assumed my old one would work in this phone. But I have no service. It says, emergency calls only. I've tried upwards of 20 times to speak to someone on the chat function and it says 'sorry I can't chat right now' each time I try to get transferred to an agent. I can't access the app either because it's trying to send me a text and I can't receive it. Any advice? Thanks, Leigh

monthly recurring charge increased
My agreed monthly recurring charge is £22.99. It has now shot up to £37.36. I have checked my invoice and there are no additional charges added. I wasn’t made aware of a reason for increase. How do I query this?

Bill payments
Hi, My daughter keeps getting messages saying payment due, but looking at her payment history she should be in credit. Payments made 26/02/25, 04/03/2025 and 19/03/2025. She should be in credit for her April payment? Please could you look into it please as she has lost her data. Thanks
