Should I get iPhone Xr as my first iPhone since getting an iPhone 4?

I’ve not owned an iPhone personally since the iPhone 4 and I am considering getting an iPhone XR. Would this be a solid upgrade from the Galaxy S8? Would this fare well as a 2nd iPhone?

Can S8’s SIM Card be changed for a Three SIM?

So I recently upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S8 to an iPhone 11 and want to use it as a backup in case my iPhone is flat and I need to contact someone or if my iPhone is sent off for repair. Will i be ok just simply getting a Three SIM or do I have to get an iD SIM?Feel free to move it as it is an odd question!

Text Messages via WhatsApp

Hey. I've not been on for a while. Uh oh. Oh well. This may seem dumb but here we go. Does texting people on Whatsapp use up your text messages or just your data?

Up and down MONTHLY price of Samsung Galaxy S9

So one of the phones I have been looking to upgrade to is the Samsung Galaxy S9. I noticed at first the S9 was £23.99 monthly and has a £49.99 upfront, which was understandable. Then the monthly price of the phone went up to £25.99 and I wouldn't think I could go beyond that. So I waited, it came back down. That was nice, until it went back up again. I don't upgrade until November 3rd 2018. I'm hoping the price for monthly will go back down to £23.99. The upfront stayed the same the entire time. I think it was £25.99 when it originally came out though. EDIT: I joined iD Mobile on the 29th December 2016 and therefore can upgrade up to 60 days before my contract ends.

What phone's the biggest upgrade from the Galaxy S8?

I love my phone but I’m also enthusiastic about other types of phones. If I upgrade, which of these 4 mobiles would be the biggest upgrade? Samsung Galaxy A70, OppoReno 2z, Samsung Galaxy A80 or the Galaxy S10e?   This may not happen...

I've forgot my password to My iD

I am able to access it on my Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 model as I got it autofilled on Google Chrome but I am upgrading on the 3rd November 2018 and POSSIBLY won't have a way to access My iD. How do I get this sorted?? I can remember the username for My iD but can't remember my password.

Doro 6520 - The flip phone that keeps coming back.

Why is the Doro 6520 constantly getting discontinued and then brought back like no tomorrow? iD should make their mind up on whether they want to sell the flip-phone or not. They’ve discontinued the S8 and S9 but keep bringing this flip phone back

Do you get to keep your SIM in an upgrade

I know I'm faffing around asking all these questions. I promise I'll shut up after this. 😂 But, one more thing... Do you get to keep using your SIM Card as normal if you upgrade or do you need a replacement sim? I am not looking to change the data, texts or minutes just the phone on 3rd Nov 2018. I need to prepare in advance as I only have less than 2 months now to prepare for my Upgrade Day. EDIT: I spelt texts as 'textx' by accident. Changed it now. 😂

iPhone 11

Hi.   I was scrolling through the phone deals to see whether the iPhone 11 has gone up or down as I like to make sure way before, as I dont like last minute decisions and saw that it was advertised at £36.99.   I was like nooo and thought I would have to get the XR but I checked...it was advertising the 128 GB model and not the 64 GB material which I will get. Why did it do that? I genuinely thought it went up in price when in fact it was a different storage configuration...

Samsung Galaxy S8 "Emergency calls only"

hi. I got my Galaxy s8 yesterday. I have a con In signal blackspots, my S8 still thinks there is signal and data but is really slow on mobile data. It seems like the Emergency Calls Only thing may have been removed. This was not a problem as my old Galaxy J3 2016 let me know where the calls were limited to emergencies. OS: J3 Lollipop with Touchwiz S8 Oreo with Samsung Experience (Formerly Touchwiz) Do you know what happened?

Making phone calls using Google Home Hub

If I was to make a call from my Home Hub, would that come out of my minutes on my actual phone (Galaxy S8)? I'm getting a Home Hub at Christmas. I am just asking in advance

Expect crazy iPhone XR sales

The iPhone XR is only one month away. I wanted to make people aware that these phones could sell out like crazy due to its lower price than the iPhone XS. Therefore the phone may not be there when you want it. BOLD = Exists on iD Mobile
