What is iD Mobile's Email to SMS Gateway address?

I’m afraid I don’t understand. Why do I receive text messages which have been sent from commercial organisations if there is no gateway? Is the gateway there but only if paid for? As I said, I don’t understand.

WiFi calling - iPhone 6

Well, I had to go into town yesterday and took a slight detour to Carphone Warehouse to ask the opinion of the staff on the issue of WiFi calling using iD Mobile. The member of staff I spoke with told me as far as he knew only O2 and Vodafone have WiFi calling! Despite this and bearing in mind the evidence from this forum I signed up for a cheap monthly package with iD. This morning (Thursday 3rd October) my current provider, GiffGaff, was turned off so I inserted the iD SIM and waited a few seconds....and there it is, "iD WiFi Call" top left of screen. Excellent. For the record (Mohammed, previous post) I have an iPhone 6 16GB bought new from Carphone on a Vodafone contract, unlocked by Vodafone, the phone is running iOS 12.4.2.

I have an unlocked phone and was looking at ID mobile for the price and wifi calling[/quote] I've not done anything yet. When time/motivation permits I will post the outcome. I'm afraid it's not top of the list.

Thanks for your time taken in replying Hikari. Yes I understand the limitations put on a phone by it's original (tied) provider and I shall endeavour to find out whether my phone will work with WiFi calling from ID mobile elsewhere. I am certainly not blaming ID mobile for anything. Just trying to ascertain whether WiFi calling will work on my phone using ID mobile as a provider. Thanks for confirming that a 30 day contract is considered a contract. It is my belief (for this purpose, at least) that either GiffGaff or O2 do not consider GiffGaff 30 day contracts to be contracts. My reference to the contributor being an employee of ID mobile is from the reference after the contributor's name. Where I am "Civilian" and you are "Mentor" he is "ID Mobile employee". See this thread: [h3] why cant i use wifi calling on s9 plus i bought from somewhere else? you can use WiFi calling with Vodafone, O2[/h3] and look for "Kevin" and "Mohammed". It's in the Ask a question topic.

Thanks Hikari. Does a 1 month contract count, or is it considered PAYG? There seems to be some confusion over eligibility to WiFi calling. Here is a reply on another thread from ID mobile: “Firstly. We can absolutely shut down any sort of claims that we're withholding the feature from people simply because the phone was not bought from ourselves. In fact it's quite the opposite.” “For us to withhold Wi-Fi calling would mean we'd be cutting down our potential customer base, given how important WiFi calling can be to certain buildings…” However the ID mobile employee also points out that an unlocked phone may have some features which will still only work with the original provider, potentially including WiFi calling. It’s ambiguous to say the least.
