Hello, I have been trying to order two new SIM cards for my sons. 

I have ordered two separately and both have been rejected supposedly because I failed the credit check. 

I would have no reason to fail a credit check. 

I had a conversation with an online agent who said that he would help me but after our chat I received an email to say that both of the Sims he helped me to set up were rejected.

I really don't want to go to another provider as it's easier to keep everything in one place. I already have two SIM only contracts with ID

How can I sort this?

iD Mobile’s internal policy requires existing customers to have a 60-90 day payment history before they can add any additional plans. This is unrelated to passing or failing a credit check.

    Thank you. Yes, I did try once before and they said that. I'll have to check how many days it's been since the last contract I took out. Silly though as I want to take two out at the same time as both my sons' contracts have gone up and I want to switch them both over to id.

    Hi ​@Janeted 

     

    That’s absolutely fine. Once you have passed the 60–90-day payment history period, you’re welcome to apply again with iD Mobile.

    It's been more than 60 days but less than 90. 😔

    But of a silly rule really as I've gone somewhere else now.

    Hi ​@Janeted 

    Thank you for getting in touch with us, I understand your frustration, and I’m sorry the timeframe has caused inconvenience especially as you’ve now moved to another provider. Our policy requires the account to be active for a minimum of 90 days and the payments must be direct debit not manual payments in order add another contract I am so sorry.

     

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Thanks for your reply

    It would have been nice if the agents on your live chat and  the rejection email I received could have told me that instead of saying that I had failed the credit check. 

    I have been with other providers before that had let me have multiple Sims for family members. 

    It seems like you're doing yourselves out of business .
