Well after a day of ID misleading and playing games to dance around and not solve the problem..... We are over seas with no data or mobile.

They seem to be so busy they can't even remember what they have said in the messaging.

Really and truly very poor service.

None the less they have been placed in breach of contract.

But let's face it.... They don't care about I e or two customers..…

We are very sorry to hear this @Graydog68

Have you manually selected all of the available networks to check if they work?

If you are unsure on this please let us know the country you are in and the make/model of the handset.

Thanks,

Natalie

Based on the information you’ve given, it seems your device is connecting to one of iD Mobiles’ Spanish roaming networks but the data performance is poor. Is that accurate?

It could simply be that the roaming network you’re connected to has poor data speeds or is experiencing an ongoing fault. In that case, I’d be sorry but there’s nothing IID Mobile can do. The only option is to try connecting to another network. Is your device set to automatically connect to a mobile network or have you switched it to manual mode and manually selected one of iD Mobiles’ Spanish roaming partner networks? These are Vodafone, Telefonica, Xfera or Orange.

If you’re fed up and just want a PAC then ignore my question above and request one once you return back to the UK. To request a PAC (Porting Authorisation Code), text 'PAC' to 65075 from the mobile number you wish to keep.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with iD Mobile or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. Did my comment help answer your question? If so, don't forget to mark the response as the Most Helpful Answer.

Hi @Graydog68,

We are sorry that you are having issues abroad.

If your handset is connecting to the network and roaming is enabled but you are not receiving strong coverage, there isn’t much that we can do.

The coverage strength is down to the network partners coverage abroad and it can vary depending on the area.

Thank you for you comment.

When the network is full strength and connection is good and an EE SIM next to me has no problem.…

Seems ID are also incapable of doing anything

Other than playing games
