    number transfer issue

    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

    Swaping in contract Sim

    Hi, I have ID mobile Sim which is currently in contract. I have another number provided by my company (EE). Say my ID mobile number is 07XXXX1 and EE mobile number is 07XXXX2 I like to swap 07XXXX2 to ID and 07XXXX1 to corporate. My company told me to provide PAC number of ID mobile so that they can do the needful, but when I requested PAC for ID mobile it says that I need to pay the outstanding amount (contract break). In my case I do not want to break the contract but to just swap the number. Can you please let me know how can i do this.

    No data BN15 Lancing, West Sussex

    No data since the 20th of May 2025. Tried the useless chat facility, quite seriously spend nearly 9 hours ! across many days trying to get some answers. Raised formal complaint and then received a call back from someone in the UK. Told within minutes that there is a local cell down. for SEVEN DAYS ? highly unlikely. Although whilst talking to her and fighting to finish a sentence, I did find on the three website that there is service issues in the area. The call eventually broke down because the advisor seems to think its okay to constantly interrupt and shout over me. when asked to let me finish my sentence she slammed down the phone. lovely lady. probably hates men and doesn't like that we might have something valid to say. called back a filed a complaint about the verbal abuse from the previous woman and as the call went on in a reasonable grown up way. I was told that the merger of id mobile and vodaphone last week might well be the problem, he had been speaking to others who also

    Is it possible to sign in without the SIM active?

    I have been going round in circles for hours and am hoping that I can enable my wife to sign in online to check her texts. She ordered her IDMobile SIM last week and activated the switch, but the SIM only arrived today and EE has already closed her account (via IDMobile I assume). So she can’t receive SMS on the old or new SIM which is really frustrating. I have managed to unock the network from EE and have a code, but when I put the IDMobile SIM in the phone, it says the unlock code is invalid (Your phone isn’t allowed to use this SIM card). I am hoping this is just because the EE unlock hasn’t completed. Trying to sign her into IDMobile on the browser or via the IDMobile app, it hasn’t got her phone number, but when I try to add it, it sends her a text, which of course she can’t receive! Any tips please, because I: would like to know if the reason why the SIM can’t be used is because the phone isn’t unlocked yet or another error would like to be able to sign into IDMobile as she is a

    Call forwarding/Call divert is not working?

I am using a Google Pixel 6a, with this month’s software update. I am using an iD mobile eSim. WiFi calling is working, and I have setup voicemail. I can make and receive calls OK, and get 4G/LTE coverage at my location. I’m trying to enable call divert by: Opening the android dialer (phone icon). Opening Call forwarding menu ( Menu icon > Settings > Calling accounts > iDmobile > Call forwarding. The phone briefly shows “Reading settings...” and then shows a forwarding number for ‘Always forward’, ‘When busy’, ‘When unanswered’ and ‘When unreachable’. The number shown ends in 123 (voicemail?) for all options except ‘Always forward’, which shows as ‘off’. I select ‘Always forward’ and enter a phone number (a UK mobile number in the format +44xxxxxxxxxx) and select ‘Turn on’. The phone shows “Reading se
