I purchased a £20 add on for roaming in Serbia, was working fine yesterday now not working. 
have turned my phone off and on again. Roaming is on in both settings and in the ID mobile app.

Hi ​@XCV 99

 

Thank you for reaching out, and we’re sorry to hear that your roaming add-on has stopped working while you are in Serbia. We understand how frustrating this must be, especially as it was working previously.

 

As roaming add-ons rely on both account settings and local network registration, please ensure the following checks have been completed:

 

1. Confirm roaming is enabled (handset & account)

  • On your handset:

Settings > Mobile Service > Data Roaming > ON

  • In the iD Mobile app:

Ensure Roaming is enabled

2. Set your Bill Cap to £0


Please make sure your Bill Cap is set to £0 in the iD Mobile app, as this helps prevent any restrictions on out-of-plan or roaming usage.

  • Open iD Mobile app
  • Go to Billing/Settings
  • Select Bill Cap
  • Set to £0

3. Restart your handset

  • Turn your phone off completely
  • Wait 2–3 minutes
  • Turn it back on and allow it to reconnect to the network

4. Connect to the correct roaming partner network
Please manually select the correct network in Serbia:

  • Go to Settings > Mobile Network > Network Selection
  • Turn Automatic OFF
  • Wait for networks to load
  • Select Telenor (preferred roaming partner)
  • Allow a few minutes for connection to stabilise

Once connected, please test mobile data again.

 

If the issue continues after completing the above steps, please contact us via Live Chat or send us a direct message through our social media channels, and we’ll be happy to investigate further for you.
