How to cancel a sim only account without the sim (lost) or access to online account?

I have moved abroad and my IDMobile account is no longer useful. I took the sim out of my phone, and lost it. I have never used an online account, just paid every month and all was fine.

I want to cancel the monthly sim plan, but I need an online account - which I can’t set up without a code sent to the sim that I no longer have.

How do I cancel? I have already paid for 5 months for something I can’t use.

Need to cancel a SIM only contract I've been paying for years but not got the SIM and your websites just keep sending me in circles! I'm owed a lot of money but your 'helpful' website makes it impossible! Get someone to contact me now, I'm tired of trying to sort this!

Hello i have the same problem.

I am writing in response to the final demand notice issued on 20th February 2025 regarding my ID Mobile account (Account No. { REMOVED }). I want to pay the charge.

Due to the loss of my SIM card, I am unable to visit the ID Mobile website, use the mobile app, or contact customer support ,

@SonyaL  Hello please edit your personal information ie your account details. Never advertised your account number or phone number in an open community. When asked for a member of ID Mobile staff will DM you and get information they need this way.

So please delate you account details in the post that you submitted earlier. 

Thank you

Hello ​@freddiehubbard 

 

Thanks for getting in touch. 

I am very sorry to hear your handset and SIM have been lost. 

If you are currently in a contract, cancelling the service would incur an early termination fee however, we can arrange for a replacement SIM card to be sent.

Can any IdMobile staff help? Now I am getting email requests to pay as the bank account is closed. I still cannot get onto any app or website to do this. So frustrating that I just need a contact phone number as this community thing isn’t really working for me due to no response.
