Hi ​@Graydog68 ,

 

I am really sorry to hear about the ongoing 5G issues, we understand how disruptive this must be, especially when you're on the move.

Please check our network status checker for updates in your area. If the issue persists, we’d love to help investigate further. Kindly DM us or email socialqueries@idmobile.co.uk with your account details so we can escalate this to our technical team.

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,

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.

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

Done all that

And 

CS all day yesterday via WhatsApp and email.... Less than helpful 

 

When ID could not solve it, I asked for an emergency Esim... Oh how I got spun round the houses in that.

 

I've just bought an Orange travel SIM to get me by and termined the contract

The people who claim to be from ID just give the impression they are not ID.. and realised today their emails are @gmail…

You’re posting on a public forum accessible to everyone. Reputable businesses and certainly major telecommunications companies wouldn’t use Gmail for email communications.
