    What are iD Mobile's network (APN) settings?

    What is a UK Add-On?

    Add-ons are a handy way to top up your data or minutes and steer clear of any out-of-plan charges. We’ve got a range of options to suit your needs: What is a UK Add-on? Running low on data or minutes? It happens! Whether it’s a new Netflix series on your commute or endless phone calls, your monthly allowance can sometimes fall short. If you think you’ll run out of minutes or data before your allowances refresh, buying an Add-on works out cheaper than racking up out-of-plan charges. For example, a 7-day Add-on of 100MB data is just £1.00. But if you use an extra 100MB of data outside your plan without an Add-on, you’ll be charged £10.24. Add-ons kick in once your allowance runs out. A data Add-on starts after your monthly data (and Data Rollover) is used, and a calls Add-on activates when your minutes run out. Choose one that lasts 7 days, 1 month, or 12 months. Make sure you buy the Add-on when your allowance is close to running out. A 7-day data Add-on will expire exactly seven days a

    Extremely poor performance on Pixel 8

    Last year my wife and I bought a pixel 8 and contract each from iD mobile. We are both experiencing very poor performance using when trying to make or receive calls using the iD mobile sim. By far the worse is receiving calls. Quite often the phone itself rings, but when we answer the call there is just silence the other end. On a number of occasions we have waited for important phone calls and when we answered the call couldn’t speak to the person on the other end. We thought maybe it was the ‘wifi calling’ option that was the problem, but disabling that has not helped. When trying to make calls, we have noticed a huge lag in entering the phone number and the call being connected. I’m talking 10s or more. Then when the call does connect the person on the other end can often not make out what we are saying as the call quality is so poor. We now have a 2nd sim in our phones with another provider as it is the only way we can reliably make and receive calls with a decent quality of servic

    Missing data that was previously rolled pver

    After attempting to download the new ID Mobile app several times without success, I finally managed to reinstall the latest version yesterday. This followed on from last Thursday where I received a message telling me that I had reached my limit for data usage on my plan. I have not changed plans - I currently pay £7 for my plan which includes 8GB of data. At the time of my last bill I had rolled over approximately 3GB of data, which has somehow been used since the middle of May. I have not used data any more than normal - I always have data left and yet somehow in a couple of weeks I have used 100% of my data. I did try to contact ID using the live chat facility however I was cut off. I am now left having to wait until the 16th of May until I get my next data allowance. Yet all this seems to have occurred uopn accessing my account using the new ID app. Please can someone help me. I am at the point of considering leaving ID mobile for the first time in three years.

    Data roaming not working in Spain

    Hi. Just arrived in Spain with my wife. My phone connected to data roaming no problem. My wife's phone (also ID)will not connect.

    Subject: Ongoing Delivery Issues – Urgent Resolution Required

    I am writing this regarding the failed delivery of a phone ordered for my 89-year-old mother, a Sepsis survivor who urgently needs the device for hospital appointments, consultations, medication orders, and physiotherapy sessions. DPD has failed to deliver the phone on three separate occasions, each resulting in considerable stress and anxiety for her. Delivery Attempt 1 – Saturday 31st May We received a notification from DPD with a tracking number and a delivery PIN. Unfortunately, the person who answered the door was 91 years old and unfamiliar with the concept of a PIN. The delivery driver made no attempt to assist or clarify and promptly left. We spent the rest of the day on the phone and live chat with DPD, Currys, Carphone Warehouse, and iD Mobile. Only by logging into the DPD tracking system on Monday did we discover the parcel had been returned to Currys. Delivery Attempt 2 – Wednesday 4th June The driver arrived without prior notice—no email, no PIN, no tracking update. Again,

    Out of plan EU roaming

    I'm struggling to understand where information about incurred costs can be viewed. I've started using out of plan data, despite not seeming to have used enough data to hit the roaming limit of 30gb. I'm currently in Austria, having been through France/Switzerland over the last few days. I am not in danger of hitting the number of days abroad limit. I have not manually selected any networks. My phone reports only using 13.8gb data roaming. My billing period is from the 23rd of each month. I got a message on the 24th saying I've used 80% of my bill cap, so clearly the charges are in this new billing period. As I have hit my spend cap, I now no longer have access to data unless I raise it. I have 98GB data in total left including carry over. How can I work out why I've been charged? What are my options for obtaining more roaming data, seeing as I don't think I've used my cap?

    A better way to use WiFi calling!

    Hi all! I just joined iD Mobile with a brand new Samsung A34 5G 256GB/8GB phone on their unlimited everything package; it was an amazing deal, and so far, I am very impressed with both the mobile and iD support. I have started this conversation because, having trawled the Internet, the most relevant question/answer I found was on this very forum about a year ago; however, the 'solution' was a workaround as opposed to a proper fix, and, as an engineer, I like to find the best possible solution to a problem. WiFi calling, together with a solid WiFi signal linking you to a high bandwidth Internet connection, should be the most brilliant solution to a poor cellular signal at home or work, but unless you can keep it locked on when needed, chocolate teapots and fireguards come to mind 😉. For those not familiar, by default, when you activate WiFi calling, it is in 'prefer cellular' as opposed to 'prefer WiFi' mode. What does that mean? Well, prefer cellular means that if there is even the ti

    No service to make calls or use internet

    I've had my mobile for over a year now and can only use it for WhatsApp when connected to WiFi. If I make a call it cuts out within a minute or two. I've tried multiple times to get help to no avail. Even to ring my GP they cant hear me and I have to get my husband to ring back on my behalf. My phone bill shows I make zero phone calls and approx 98% of my data is rolled over every month cos I can't get internet to use it. Every time I get in touch with ID mobile they try to ask for more evidence etc but surely my bills showing zero use of internet and calls should be enough. I'm at the point of getting a second contract with Vodafone but can't afford it and shouldn't have to. Please help

    Paid My Balance – Still No Service

    Subject: Paid My Balance – Still No Service & Conflicting Emails I’m posting here out of frustration with how this company handles billing and support. I missed a payment recently because I changed banks and my direct debit didn’t transfer correctly – fair enough, that was my error. As soon as I received the ban notice, I paid the full balance immediately. That was over 24 hours ago, and yet I still don’t have access to the service. To make things worse, I’ve just received another email saying I still owe the money – even though the payment has definitely come out of my bank account. Frankly, I’m starting to question how professional this company actually is. You take people’s money but don’t restore the service or even update your system properly. There’s zero communication unless it’s automated messages demanding payment. If anyone from the team sees this, please get this sorted. I’ve paid. I’ve waited. And I’m not going to just sit quietly while you mess people around.

    Bad signal reception in London, Finchley N3 area anybody else?

    Since the beginning of June 2025, iD/Three reception has been horrible here in the Finchley N3 area. To be fair, the reception was already weak, however, I could get by with decent data speeds, but now it’s just zero reception. It has been so bad that our home internet is also Three, and we have no internet at all. My second SIM card is Lebara/Vodafone, and it also has very bad reception. What’s going on? Did anything change that we lost reception all of a sudden? What can I do to avoid changing providers again?

    Payment taken twice

    Contact from ID saying DD failed and asking for payment. I paid by card straight away. Then double checked DD details were correct. Two days later ID accused bank via DD and took payment again. How do I contact them to get credit or will they put account into credit? Account is not currently showing as in credit.

So my message to anyone else with ID is don’t even bother trying the Roam Beyond add on in India How can ID sell these add ons when they do not work. IT’S A SCAM I am in the process of raising a complaint.
