Hi, I’ve having issues with receiving calls ever since I joined ID mobile. E.g. some calls don’t show up when they ring and then I get a text message informing me of missed calls. This issue only occurred when I switched to this provider

    I’m sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing issues receiving calls since joining iD Mobile. I under how frustrating this must be.

    To help resolve this, please try the following network reset steps depending on your device:

     

    For iPhone:

    Delete the old number and re-enter your mobile number
    Tap Save
    Go back to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage OFF
    Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone
    Tap Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Once your phone restarts, go back to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage back ON
    Allow a few minutes for your SIM to re-register

     

    For Android:
    Go to Settings
    Tap General Management
    Tap Reset
    Select Reset Network Settings
    Restart your device once completed

    Hey I just tried the steps and the person who called me told me that it goes straight to voicemail and doesn’t even ring.

    Hi ​@Satnam 

     

    Could you please check if the number displayed on your phone is your correct number, and not the temporary number you may have received?

    I’d kindly ask you to go through the steps below:

    To update your number:

    Go to Settings
    Tap Phone
    Select My Number
    Enter your correct number, using +44 instead of the first 0

    To check your iMessage settings:

    Go to Settings
    Tap Messages
    Ensure iMessage is turned on
    Tap Send & Receive
    Confirm that your correct number is selected

    Alternatively, you can check via your Apple ID settings:

    Go to Settings, then tap [your name]
    Tap Sign-In & Security
    Select your primary phone number to make changes
    To remove a number, tap Remove from Account
    You can also choose Add New Primary Phone or Email if needed

     

    After trying the above steps, see if you can make and receive calls.

    Hi, everything is fine in setting. I met up with my friend and we tried calling right next to each other and somehow the call came through. However when he got back home the same problem happened. I don’t know if this is some signal issue or whatever but I never had it with my previous providers and I would really like the stick with ID mobile but this is getting frustrating

    Hi ​@Satnam

     

    I’m really sorry to hear you’re missing calls since joining iD Mobile I understand how important it is to stay connected.

     

    Let’s run through some troubleshooting steps that often resolve this:

    1. Toggle Airplane mode
    Turn Airplane mode on for 30 seconds, then off again. This refreshes your connection to the network.

     

    2. Restart your phone
    A quick restart can help your device reconnect properly.

     

    3. Check signal & network mode

    • Make sure you have signal bars showing
    • Try switching between 4G/5G and 3G (if available) in your network settings

     

    4. Check Do Not Disturb / Focus mode
    Ensure this is turned off, as it can silence incoming calls.

     

    5. Check blocked numbers
    Make sure the numbers you’re missing calls from aren’t accidentally blocked.

     

    6. Call forwarding & diverts
    Check that call forwarding or divert settings aren’t turned on.

     

    7. WiFi Calling
    If enabled, try turning WiFi Calling off and back on (or off completely to test).

     

    8. Software updates
    Make sure your phone is running the latest software version.

     

    9. Reset network settings
    This can resolve deeper connection issues (note: it will remove saved WiFi passwords).

     

    10. SIM check
    If possible, try your SIM in another phone to see if the issue continues.

     

    If you’re still unable to receive calls after trying all of the above, we’ll need to raise this with our technical team for further investigation.
