How to get the Bigme Hibreak Pho phone to work on the iD Mobile network?

For several years I’ve been on the ID Mobile network with a number of Google Pixel phones. I’ve just bought a Bigme Hibreak Pro -- I needed a phone that works in bright sunlight -- but I cannot get the SIM card to work in the new phone. I’ve tried modifying the APN settings for the SIM card in the new phone so that they match the settings in my current Pixel phone when using the same SIM card. Any suggestions? Many thanks Gavin

id mobile number wont change to existing number

I am having trouble receiving sms messages to activate accounts. I think this is because the Id mobile number won’t change in the settings to my mobile number I transferred across. Really frustrating.

Not getting OTP

I am not getting any OTPs. It looks like a lot of people are having these issues. I have followed the steps advised in other posts such as network reset, RCS chat reset etc but none have helped. After turning the phone back on after RCS reset, I am not able to use RCS chat any more. It is trying to verify my number but not able to do it. Now I get the normal SMS messages but not get any messages sent via RCS.I have recently ported my number from another network on 6th May. Could it be an issue regarding the porting?

OTP not being received

I spoke to somebody on chat two days ago after trying all the suggested recommendations which none have worked. They advised a manager confirmed there were issues which would be resolved within 24 hours, which I presume isn't true.Can this be resolved as it seems to be a common issue or is it something ID are unable to resolve as they are an essential part of having a mobile contract which cannot be worked around.

bisa secure payments being declined as mobile switch is thought false

Hi - I have seen at least one other person have this problem and there is no satisfactory answer on the community. My verified by visa payments from my phone are all being declined and the bank says it’s because the phone switch to ID has not been done properly. Thanks for any help as this is really turning into a problem for me. Visa are declining every payment. Cheers

Phone number displaying incorrect number after using international sim after reverting back to UK sim

I used an international sim in Marrakech. On returning to UK, despite reverting back to my iD Mobile UK sim, the phone number displayed under SIM 1 slot is not my number. I have tried a network reset but it is still displaying the wrong number. My UK SIM mostly works as normal but when I try to get a get through security to reset my vodaphone account, I am not receiving their verification text code.

new to id

 My partner and I have just taken out contracts and phones with id.iphone 16 pro max, numbers ported from previous network easily enough.We are both having a nightmare getting banking apps and anything that requires a verification text code or two stage verification to work as we don’t seem to be able to receive the text. Normal text messages are going through.Ive spent half the day trying to get to the bottom of this, i have read lots of threads about the same problem here which just seem to end with no known outcome or fix. Ive chatted with the live chat, my  partner has been on the phone with customer support, both  seem to be oblivious to the cause and have directed us to do all the usual stuff. From what i gather, the verification text messages are not going through as they require another level of security to send properly, something that requires 2fa codes from technical support and that seems to be an ongoing problem with anyone transferring from another network to id. Neither

Failed port of old number via PAC

HiI ordered a new ID Mobile plan with a pay monthly eSIM and included a PAC Code from my old provider when placing the order – The transfer should have occurred 6th May. I received a text from ID Mobile on 5th May with a different phone number and this number is assigned to the eSIM downloaded to my iPhone. I have not received any confirmation of the transfer or port has been completed.How do I ‘update’ the eSIM to reflect the original phone number linked to the PAC?

I can't activate my physical SIM and every time I try to chat to someone I get old that no-one is able to chat. Can anyone hlep?!

I have an eSim that will not activate, which I need to cancel. I have a physical SIM that will not activate until the eSIM has been cancelled. I have been to a Curry's store where I cannot get any help. I have tried the chat but each time I am told I need to speak to an agent, but it will not connect me to an agent. I’m told to “try again later”. I have tried again and again!
