Service Not Available


Since yesterday morning, I have been unable to get a connection. There is an on-screen message “Emergency Calls Only”. Live chat on the ID Mobile website is not available. I don’t think it’s a problem with my SIM as, if I switch the ‘phone to 3G/2G preferred, I can see the Vodafone 3G network. Does anyone know what’s going on?

It’s RG25 3DZ.  Turns out the problem was really down to the 3 network being upgraded.  Unfortunately, the Id website didn’t have a reference to the outage.  All OK now.

Emergency call only suggest no network coverage. 

Restart mobile, insert sim in sim 1.  Insert sim to other mobile. Will it get network their.

Thanks for that.  I’d already tried removing and replacing the SIM to no effect. However, putting the SIM into another mobile - which couldn’t use it because that ‘phone is locked to Vodafone - and re-inserting it in mine got the connection back.  Who knows what was going on???

Hi there @JustJ0hn

Could we get a full postcode for the area you’re having trouble?

What phone are you using with the iD Mobile SIM?

Were all things working fine until recently?

If you still have the original ‘phone, it’d be worth checking the sim still works in that one - just in case it’s somehow got damaged in the transfer.

Hello @Orangehorizon 

This would also be my suggestion:

Try the SIM in the old phone.

Try also the old SIM just incase this is still active.

 

Let us know how you get on.
