“Can't contact support easily, I have received a SIM with a number that's no good. Got strangers ringing it constantly. Calls cut out and unstable mid conversation. No taking the agreed amount direct debit either. Awful service.”

“Gradual loss of coverage and now the new app does not recognise me and changed my data allowance to half of what it was… previous plans are not available in the new app so apparently there is no proof that I was getting the allowance that I have been for a very long time! Time to move, absolutely shocking service”

“A diabolical company. I wouldn't use them again even if they were offering a free service. Customer service is limited to webchats or posting messages on a board that then take weeks to get your answer. Approx a month ago I requested to leave this shower through their app. Turns out that 'it did not go through'. Now, even if I were to start the process again, I cannot as I receive an error message when I try to. A complete disgrace and I'm paying for the priviledge. I will ring them tomorrow to speak to someone in their complaints team. I doubt I will get anywhere.”

“Once again I am having to leave a review against this company due to their terrible customer service. This company make it extremely difficult to speak to a real person accept through their online chat - sludge practice, making it difficult to communicate with a business. Today I contacted them about a lack of credit supposedly applied to my account from a previous complaint I had raised, I got transferred through o an agent named “Wendy” who was extremely unprofessional. 3 separate times I asked to be transferred through to a manager to escalate my complaint and 3 times she chose to ignore me and send me generic replies. Multiple times it took her over 5 minutes to reply to my messages! Which is simply not good enough when as a paying customer I’m having to take time out of my working day to escalate a complaint. I still am unable to access their app as it states my “my phone number doesn’t exist” of which I have also raised twice previously to be told this would be resolved. Once I have finished my contract with this company I will never use their services again.”

“This is the worst customer service and phone provider service I have ever had. I cannot make or receive phone calls most of the time. The lady on customer service (if you can get hold of them) was rude and said the issues where that there’s service black spots in my home, work place and funny enough most other places I visit (central London might I add). She said I should be standing still in my home if I want to make phone calls and that the issue honestly in her words is that I’m being mobile - with my mobile, ironic. Like we’ve gone back in time 50 years. I’ve now had to pay the charge to leave, they were extremely unhelpful about helping resolve the issue and the phone call where I was cut out after 15 minutes then the next phone call which consisted of 25 minutes of ‘hello, are you there’ was not able to be used as evidence as I had successfully been able to place the call. You’d truly think you were on a TV show being pranked. Avoid at all cost!”

“Big regret. ID arbitrarily started the billing period even before I had received and could use the product. No apologies, no corrections, no compensations, they blamed it on a third party and the third party blamed them back. The customer took the L. The signal is terrible, if I am inside a building my phone won't work, in many areas of London my phone won't work. And when I say it won't work I mean it won't work at all. Choose ID if you like wondering the city with an expensive Samsung Ultra 5G in hands chasing signal. Customer support and customer care non-existent.”

“Absolutely rubbish from the start. Ordered a phone at the end of April with a charger. Tried and tried to set up my phone on the app and online. By the end of May it still Was not set up. Called them they said to cancel that contract and send the phone back and order a new one. No way was I going to go through all that again. We are now in June and I am still trying to get the refund for the charger back. Customer service is dire”

“They are a fraudulent company. I wouldn't even give them one star. I get two payments taken out each month. I never bought the phone from them. I was with 3 mobile and suddenly unknown to me was with ID. I pay over 40 a month for making no calls or text messages. I use wifi free from my home. They have taken me to a debt collection agency because I refused to keep paying. I'm basically paying just to keep my photos on my sim card.”

“I was victim of sim fraud and my number taken over by a fraudster. They also requested a PAC code to transfer the number to their mobile. I managed to get hold of Idmobile before the number transfer was completed and the advisor assured me they put a stop to it. However, the next day I couldn't use my phone again so spoke to another advisor who was quite simply unsympathetic and rude who advised that the PAC transfer had gone through because they hadn't followed the process. So I'm left with no sim to use and a fraudster who had already managed to get my details and make a payment of £649 out of my bank and £1,200 off my card with my number. There was no urgency and I was told it would take 48 hours for the technical team to complete. 48 hours later and I'm told it will be another 24 hours. there was no suggestion on how so could use my phone, no offer of a sim card with credit on it so I could phone my bank and card companies. I'm still waiting for the technical team to fix the mess and get me my number back. I was told that an e mail had been sent from the complaints team and when I advised it hadn't been received I asked them to confirm the e mail address but they couldn't. So i provided my e mail address and the advisor said they would send the mail again, still nothing received. The stress, inconvenience and loss of earnings has been a strain on me (earnings because I work in incident management and I was meant to be in call this weekend and bank holiday) I asked to cancel my contract because of all this stress and they told me I would be charged £155. I'm at a loss for words how badly I've been treated and how little empathy or help they have offered. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST”

“Sold a sim only contract, with promise of being able to upgrade after 6 months. Took out one of there upgrade offers (listed on my account) they then cancelled this, and said I could only get an iPhone 11/12 or cheaper phone. Ridiculous company policies and very poor customer service options (all bots or slow live chat support).”

“Zero stars review regarding the clowns… Zero stars review regarding the clowns at this place just received a text today stating that I've used 80% of my data that did mean 6G left from 30G plan that I've got for data WRONG I've just checked I've got 11.4G left that is less then 70 % used not 80% not only that was unable to log in previously as the company changed the App that wouldn't work. The web site was down previously. App wasn't working today. These people really are clowns. " You've now used 80% of the data in your plan. If you continue to use data and exceed your allowance, you'll be charged 10.24p per MB. We recommend you check the iD Mobile app regularly to monitor your usage.," That's the text message that I received today that was wrong about my usage. Date of experience: 11 May 2024”

“I’ve been a customer for a few years and have three contracts within the family. Never had any issues until March 2024 when my mobile number was cloned. Fraudsters used my number some how requested a PAC code and activated it before I was aware. I noticed a text message saying PAC was used successfully. Straight onto ID mobile via live chat and reported as a fraud. Was told fraud department would investigate and report back in 30 days(no contact at all since by them). On checking my bank and credit card accounts the fraudsters had accessed my accounts using the phone number to change bank account passwords. Over £5k attempted which fortunately the bank stopped and credit card company snatched back. All details reported to action fraud. Then two weeks later I received a letter saying I’d taken out a new account for £8 a month, the number attached to the contract was included and date of first payment. I hadn’t taken this out and reported same to ID via live chat. All the time being assured that it’ll be marked up and not to worry. So I made sure my bank wouldn’t pay this £8. Then I get a letter saying the amount will be classed as a debt to be recovered. The number and account was closed by them. At no point have I received a SIM for this account so where have they sent that….they can’t or won’t tell me. I go onto the complaints section to find a contact number which I phone and speak to a woman who’s English was so poor I couldn’t understand and had no faith she understood me. Again reported to action fraud. I then phone again and speak to someone in South Africa, better English all reference numbers supplied and was advised that nothing will happen. Oh how mistaken are they with their advice. Following week a letter from debt company now increased to £16 seeking payment on ID mobiles behalf. They took all details and lodged a complaint about this with ID mobile as I’d consistently reported the various frauds/attempt frauds. Again contact the customer complaints tell them everything again. They can see I had reported things. I’ve now lodged a complaint and seeking compensation for all the time and stress that this has caused me due to their lapse systems to allow a PAC code to be sent without talking to me. They are cheap and it’s obvious when you have an issue. All contracts with family members will be cancelled (month notice) and will never touch this set up again.”
