Quite possibly the worst mobile network on planet Earth – ID Mobile

Welcome to 2025, where even my toaster has better signal than ID Mobile. 99% of the time you’re blessed with either no network, no internet, or a magical combination of both. Their app? Oh, a true masterpiece of digital garbage – slow, buggy, and refuses to let you top-up or buy a plan when you actually need it. But don’t worry – you wouldn’t get service anyway even if it did work.

Let’s talk about customer service – or rather, a collective of confused people who have no clue what their own company even offers. Every single time I walk into a store and ask for a simple PAYG top-up, the staff stare at me like I just asked them to explain quantum physics. “We don’t offer that service,” they say... while I’ve been using it for SIX YEARS. It’s like they’re working for a company they’ve never even heard of.

And online payments? LOL. Try praying to the gods, it might work faster. For at least three years, topping up online has been a complete joke. And nobody gives a damn.

Currently, my plan is supposedly active until June 28th – at least according to their stupid app – but guess what? It expired a week ago. No data, no calls, and NO WAY to fix it because the app blocks me from topping up, thinking I still have a plan running. Last month, I added £20 to get the unlimited plan. The app refused to let me buy it until the current plan expired. But instead of warning me when it did, the system sneakily started eating up my credit, bit by bit, for God knows what. Boom – £20 gone. Had to top-up AGAIN just to function like a normal human being.

And here’s the cherry on top: I’m 100% sure they have access to every single customer chat log, so they can easily check how many times I personally have contacted them with the exact same issues over and over again. But do they care? Of course not. Even now, their useless chatbot kicks me out of the queue before I can even speak to a real human being. It’s like their entire system is designed to frustrate and ignore you until you give up.

Avoid this company like the plague.

In the application it clearly states that my plan is valid until the 3rd of September. However, yesterday I received a message saying that my plan had already expired, and suddenly both my internet and calls were cut off. I had to immediately activate a new plan because I urgently needed my phone, but I was left without any access to calls or internet for nearly 5 hours! This happened for no valid reason.

I am attaching screenshots where it clearly shows that the plan is supposed to expire in 12 days and be renewed automatically, with an expiry date of 3rd September. Despite this, yesterday I was still able to top up (you can check the account activity yourselves and see the exact transaction and activation of the new plan – I am 100% certain about this).

Please, once and for all, fix your system because you are continuously misleading your customers without any justification. This is unacceptable!

 

Proof!

And one more thing – in your own application it shows that I topped up on 31/12/2025. How is that even possible when we are still in August? :D This is beyond ridiculous and only proves how broken and misleading your system actually is.
