    Internet is very slow

    I recently got a new Google Pixel 9 Pro XL with an unlimited 500GB 5G plan. While the phone itself is fantastic, the internet speed has been extremely disappointing. To be honest, I’ve never experienced such slow internet speeds before. Download speeds sometimes drop to less than 1 Mbps, and the upload speed is even worse. This is despite having 5G coverage in my area. I contacted iD Mobile customer service, but nothing has improved. According to the contract, here’s what they state about the speed of the internet service: Estimated maximum 4G download and upload speeds: Download: Up to 70 Mbps Upload: Up to 22 Mbps Estimated maximum 5G download and upload speeds: Download: Up to 597 Mbps Upload: Up to 50 Mbps What I’m experiencing isn’t even close to these numbers—not even in my wildest dreams! I'm still within the cooling-off period and wondering what iD Mobile can do to fix this terrible connection. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Why does my bill look different after an Upgrade or a Plan Change (Pro Rata)?

    When you change your plan or upgrade, your bill might look a little different. Here’s why: How is my bill calculated after I change plan or upgrade? As with most networks, we bill your monthly line rental in advance. If you change your plan or upgrade, you’ll have paid for a whole month on your old plan, but only used it for part of the month. The cost for both your old and new plan is calculated on a pro-rata basis (so you’ll only pay for the days you used each plan). You’ll keep the total allowances (like data, minutes, and texts) from your old plan and also get the pro-rated allowances from your new plan starting immediately. Example. Please note: This is an example bill, your bill may look different. Let’s say your billing month runs from the 18th of October and ends on the 17th of November. On the 31st October, you decide to change your plan or upgrade. We’ll bill you for the number of days on your current plan (18th October to 31st October). We’ll credit you for the number of unu

    Just Some Basic Questions About New Sim Card/VoLTE/Upgrade

    Hi, I have a few basic questions on a few different subjects if anyone could help please. Background is that I have an old Samsung Galaxy Prime phone that is about 6 years old. I’ve received a message from ID saying I’m using a 4G VolTE compatible phone but only making calls over 3G. I also have an Alcatel 1B phone which is about 3 years old, which I don’t use for anything currently. No sim card or plan for that, but it takes a nano-sim card. My old Samsung Galaxy Prime takes a Micro sim card, so I can’t put the sim card from the Samsung Galaxy phone into the Alcatel 1B phone. So I have the option of trying to amend the settings on my current phone to allow for 4G, requesting a new sim card for my newer phone or upgrading to a new sim only contract with my newer phone. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The instructions for enabling my Samsung Galaxy Prime were to go to Settings - Connections - Mobile Networks - 4G Calling and switch to “on”. However, the Galaxy Prime options were Settings - Connections -
