Hi. I'm having the same problem as many others before, as the app doesn't accept the Tel no linked to my account and as a result, I cannot get into my account. 

Please help! 😊

Hi ​@Mlp63 

Thank you for getting in touch. I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble accessing your account.

If the app is not accepting the telephone number linked to your account, please make sure the number is entered in the correct format (for example, without spaces and starting with 07). If the issue continues, please let us know whether you’re receiving any error messages, as this will help us investigate further.

 

Thank you,

Zandile

Hi ​@Mlp63 

Can you access your account via the website using the search engine on your device?

If so, another way is to login to the website and then add a shortcut to that to the home screen.

Hope this helps x

Thank you, everyone who answered.

Where do I start?

 

1st, yes, all my details are correct.

Progress of sorts is that I have managed to get through login, but it stops at the  "success!" page (I'm aware of the irony!🙄), that then asks me to add my ID number, and therein is the problem: there isn't a number I recognise.🤦🏼‍♀️ I have an email from last month with a bill, giving me an account number ending in (4 digits), mobile ending in (4 digits), and I do not recognise either. 🤷🏼‍♀️

But if I want to view the bill, I am back to login screen, and we're back to square one. 

That's not all! My husband also has an id account in his name, and, even though the SIM works, it doesn't recognise the number either. 

The thing is, I want to cancel mine, I'm months out of contract , but husband is contractually tied to his , more recent one. With me so far? I could just take over his SIM card and use it, right?  But hey, the number doesn't correspond either!

 

So, here we are. If anyone has a suggestion on how to get this salad of Sims sorted, I would be very grateful.  If you're stumped too, could you please point me towards someone who *could* sort this out?

 

Thank you muchly. 🙏🏼😌
