    receiving texts from other phones but not from Ebay or Instagram

    Hi Only moved to ID Mobile this week. I have an issue I would like some help on. I transferred my number using a PAC code. I am receiving calls on my correct number. I can also send texts outwards. However the number coming up on the other persons phone. is the number on the sim when I was sent the account. That number cannot be rang or texted but tells the person the incorrect number. Using a RedMi note9 phone. Also cannot receive texts from Ebay UK or Instagram. Any ideas please

    Changed to ID from Three - can't make or receive phone calls

    Can someone please explain, in basic idiot-proof terms what I need to do about this as I am at my wits end. Switched to ID mobile, transfer went through on 20th November Data is working fine. Texts work fine. Confirmed that the phone is not “locked” to the previous network Sim card is recognised Have rebooted phone multiple times Spent an hour on the ID chat help but I don;t think they fully understood the rpoblem and suggested I take the device to the nearest Carphone Warehouse. There’s nothing wrong with the device. It’s recognising the SIM. I have data. I just can’t use my phone as - you know - a phone. Having browsed the community this seems to be a common problem, but, maybe I’m unusually stupid, but I don’t understand any of the instructions for resolving it. Has anyone found a way of resolving this problem that doesn’t require an advanced degree in computer science? I need to be able to use my phone to make actual calls ASAP.

    Mobile Done Wrong?

    Several months ago, my new mobile Service Provider, Smarty (who I’d signed up with a couple of months previous), emailed me to let me know that my mobile would likely not work after the 3G switch off as it does not correctly support their hardware’s configuration for VoLTE, and that I should consider switching to a new Service Provider, or purchase a new phone. In anticipation of this, I scouted around for a new comparable deal, and came across iD Mobile. I could see that they ran on the Three network, so to be sure, I spoke to an agent and asked. For posterity, below is an extract of the conversation I had with the iD Mobile agent. You: I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro and I am currently with Smarty. I've been advised that 3G will be switched off in less than two weeks and when it does, my phone will not be supported, because even though it supports VoLTE, and configuration issue on Smarty's side means my phone is not supported. I also read that ID mobile is likely to have a similar c

    Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G

    Hello I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G phone that I brought slightly over 2 years ago. I have always used it with ID. Now ID have switched off the 3G network I can't make any calls. Searching online it appears this model should be compatible with the 4G calling but the option to switch it on is not there. Is this an ID problem? Is there anyway I can actually still use my phone on ID or am I going to have to switch network? Phone is still perfectly good working order so seems unnecessary to fork out for a new one. And mine is supposed to be 5G enabled so why does it stop working when 3G switched off? Thanks
