Hi,

The issue has now been resolved and calls should be working as normal.

Please restart your handset and try again.

If the issue isn’t resolved, please let us know.

Other forum members are posting with similar service issues, @Dittytwo
It appears iD Mobile might have a network problem. 

Have you spoken to iD support using the real-time iD Live Chat service?

Vodafone and Three UK (the iD Mobile network provider) are currently merging their UK businesses (subject to regulatory approval). 

I wonder how this will affect Vodafone customers, should the merger be allowed?

Hopefully in better way, I had Vodafone for 4 years, minimum problems good coverage, but then took ID mobile thinking why pay more and now I clearly see why

Same here, . .disconnected 3 times after re-attempting from a call once I get what seems like a couple mins in (and only the last 3rd occasion did I hear the message : “."Sorry, your service does not allow access to this number".  & hence managed to find this thread.

Ive just joined ID Mobile a couple weeks ago.
1) Voicemail speed dial doesnt work as per the ID Mobile sim hard coded some issue or another.
2) now this call disconnecting saga ...

I was on Lebara (piggy backs off Vodafone) previously and no such issues.   

ID Mobile - cheaper deals are clearly not always better :-(

Same issue and it appears to have happened over the years when searching today to find out what the problem is!  Can’t see any solution or way to contact ID mobile on the app.

I contacted iD on live chat. To get a stock reply .. "Yes this is an issue affecting a large number of users. The issue has been escalated to our service partner. Sorry for any inconvenience caused"

I guess everyone places a value on stuff, and although no-frills iD Mobile might be cheaper, perhaps they are less reliable, @Tolly Zgama

Same issue but only when calling my mum's landline. Cuts us off after 3 mins. Only started happening in the last week or so. Doesn't make a difference if she rings me or I ring her.

Same issue. Currently waiting on live chat - 29 minute wait time.  Not good when on hold to companies, only to be cut off regularly.

Our technical staff is actively working on resolving this matter, and we kindly request your understanding and allow 24 to 48 hours for the necessary adjustments to be made.

This is still happening. They should at least send us a text message telling us this is a problem. Yesterday I had to call a contact centre and the call kept hanging up which I thought it was a problem with the contact centre. A few times I got the “sorry” message and thought of googling it. Interestingly I had a 3 prepay simcard and that worked fine. Which is weird because it is the same network.

Suffice to say given the level of non comms, I don’t think I will be renewing.

I’m having the same issue. I only moved to ID Mobile a couple of months ago and have had nothing but problems. Now every call I’m on, I’m being cut off with this message. Really annoyed that I moved networks now and will probably be stuck with them for 2 years!

My resolution of this problem was quit as soon as my contract allows. I had experienced much more problems with them, but all the do just ignore problem and blame on users. Had enough not gonna return to this company again.
