    No signal is appaling. new customer. new sim, problem with sim card?

    I'm a new ID customer only had it 6 days, coming across from EE. Much more expensive but constant 4G signal. Despite the Three network coverage saying I would get l good indoor and outdoor signal at home, it's really really not. I get a symbol saying H or H+. This is disgusting. The price i pay for this is not acceptable. My postcode stated good inside and out. My partner who is also has id mobile soesnt have any of these problems hers is constantly 4G. I have put the phones next to each other and she has a signal and i dont. I have a brand new Samsung S24 plus and yet appalling signal. Could it be the sim card considering my partner has absolutely no issues with signal? Can I get another sim card in case this is faulty? It's not workable at the moment. Thanks Dan.

    Sim only Contract ended, but can't cancel plan

    Tried to cancel sim only contract as this has come to an end. I had no response so cancelled the direct debit.

I have used this sim for data only and apparently my tablet doesn’t know my phone no either so I can’t get into my account to cancel it. Any idea’s would be welcome.

    SIM

    I bought an iphone 16 pro max from apple a week ago. Old SIM has never worked on data since. Got a replacement from Currys yesterday and they registered the new SIM, get home same problem. Been to Apple and full check done, not a problem their side. Thought I’d re register SIM online today but the format when asking for SIM card number does not match the actual SIM card. The box to fill in starts with a pre populated 894420 but my actual sim starts with 254… no option to delete prepopulated numbers. Any ideas…will attempt to speak to person when they start at 0900
