    What is Spam or Phishing?

    Phishing is a cyber-attack where criminals impersonate trusted sources, like banks or HMRC, to steal your personal or financial information or infect your device with malware. Spam refers to unwanted SMS or junk emails often sent with malicious intent. Both phishing and spam can occur through text, email, or phone calls. Remember, iD Mobile will neve r send an SMS with a short URL or ask you to make a payment through a link. We always provide secure payment options through the iD Mobile app or My Account online, where you can check for any outstanding payments. Why Does Phishing Exist? Phishing exists because it’s an easy and effective way for cybercriminals to steal valuable information and money. It requires minimal technical skill and can target thousands of people simultaneously by creating messages that appear legitimate and play on fear and urgency. The low cost and high reward make it an attractive method for scammers. Who Do Attackers Pretend to Be? Attackers often use the iden

    switched numbers

    I'm struggling to sort out my number. I have switched my number via a pac code but the number issued by ID is showing on text messages. If I turn off rcs messages then it uses my correct number but left on ot defaults to the sim number. I've tried changing the number on settings but it defaults back to the wrong one. Please can someone tell me what else I can try?

    Where is the list of roaming partner networks by country?

    I’ve been searching in vain for information about which partner network(s) ID uses in each country. All questions about roaming generate multiple answers concerning how to enable roaming, how much it will cost and what packages are available to control costs, but very little about which networks are going to be used in the destination country. This matters because in remote or mountainous areas, not all networks that operate in the country are likely to have coverage. I have encountered this in the Austrian Tirol for example. So before going abroad I want to know which partner network I am likely to connect to and look up the coverage map to assure myself that it will work. Does anyone know where a table of partner networks by country is available, both for ID and for any other operator from whom I might buy a PAYG ESIM?

    Cant make or receive calls - when trying calling either just sits there connecting forever, or drops signal

    App improvement

    Hi. I'm quite happy with my service on ID mobile but the only thing that let's it down is the app. I used to be with smarty and their app is much better. You can also see how much data every month which is handy. Perhaps a future upgrade could introduce this handy feature?

    itemised call, text and data usage im app

    Why can we not see our usage in the app? Other providers show all the calls, text and data usage within the app including the current day. Can this not be implemented??. I currently have my children with 1p mobile and I can see what number was called or text today and the past either daily itemised or monthly summaries, what if any charges and what data was used and if charged. This helps keep REAL time eye on spend and how much you are over the free data.

    Found a Particle Under Camera Glass on My New Honor Magic 7 Pro - What Should I Do?

    Hey everyone, I just got a new Honor Magic 7 Pro on a contract, and I recently noticed a small particle under the camera glass. I've checked carefully, and it's definitely inside, not just dust on the surface. Since this phone is IP69-rated, I wasn't expecting anything to get inside the sealed camera module. Has anyone else experienced this issue with Honor phones or any other flagship devices? Since I got it through a contract, do you think the retailer/ carrier will replace it, or will they try to send it for repair? I'd prefer a replacement since the phone is brand new. I'm still within the 14 days return window. I bought from the idmobile website and it's not a scratch, if you look from different angles you can see the particle. Appreciate any advice on how to handle this!

I am a new ID mobile customer and haven’t experienced this issue with my previous network provider.

    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

    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,

    Overcharged and poor signal

    We have 6 months left on x2 ID mobile contracts and are wanting to end Early fee free. Can you please give advice on this? The issues are as follows.. 1. The three network has become highly congested in the last month or 2. Our ID, three and smarty contacts are all suffering the exact same issues of showing signal bars but unable to use data/calls in certain areas where it used to work fine before. Please note, this is 5 different phones, 2 three contacts, 2 id mobile contracts, 1 smarty contact ALL experiencing this issue. So it's not phone or setting related. 2. Both ID contracts my kids use are unable to get connection in their school and outside their school and also, lucky to get a connection if they are travelling to and from school. This is a safety concern for us as parents. 3. Our contracts have had an increase from April when we should not be getting an increase as we took the contacts out before January 2025. So we would like to request to end early fee free due to the dimin
