Hi, since joining iD in mid-May I still have an issue that hasn’t been resolved although I’ve had multiple sessions with the online team and actual calls to get more data. The problem is people on both Vodafone and Lebara can’t connect when dialling my number, however I can call them. Apparently my number was ported properly and the team can’t see any issues but I need this fixed. How can I get more help please? Has anybody seen anything similar? I’m using an Apple Air obviously with an eSIM.

Hi ​@applealex,

 

We're sorry to hear you're still experiencing this issue. We understand how frustrating it must be, especially after contacting us multiple times.

 

Before getting back in touch, we'd recommend trying the following on your iPhone:

Go to Settings.
Tap Phone.
Tap My Number.
Use the delete button to remove the old number.
Use the keypad to enter the new number.
Tap Save.
1. Go to Settings
2. Messages
3. Turn off iMessage.
4. Go to General
5. Reset
6. Reset Network Settings.
7. Once the iPhone is open.
8. Go to Settings
9. Messages Turn ON iMessage.
10.This will recognize the new sim and have it verified.

 

If the issue continues after trying the above, please contact our Live Chat team again and ask them to log a technical investigation. They'll be able to escalate the issue for further checks, particularly as it appears to be affecting calls from specific networks.

 

You can contact them here: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve tried but it hasn’t fixed the issue. I’ll raise it with the tech team again, this will probably be the 5th time but I seem to have to start from scratch each time as though the issue doesn't show against my number.
