Thanks for your review!  iD Mobile Your review is pending.Read more gavin lindsay 2 reviews GB  with ID Mobile with ID Mobile. The service has been unreliable, and getting clear support has been frustrating. Communication could be much better, and I found the overall process less smooth than expected. Based on my experience, I’m reluctant to recommend them. My experience with this company was disappointing because they did not honor the contract terms we agreed on. Communication was poor, and I did not feel confident relying on their promises. Based on what happened they gave me the wrong phone and I had to return it and pay out my own pocket to return the phone and they said they would take the money of my nexst bill cheek of them .as the original deal they did not honour. This is the email they sent to me and did honour it . prove it. Good day Mr. Lindsay, I hope this email finds you well. I would firstly like to extend my apologies with how you have been treated both by our agents at iD mobile together with the agents from currys, this is for all the confusion and the ups and downs you had to do to ensure that the wrong phone that was delivered to you gets back to us. Please note that as per our agreement, we will be honoring the agreement to cover the £42.99 generated on the handset that you have returned, this means that as soon as we are done processing the handset back, the plan will revert back to the old plan of £51.40. Please note that when you revisit the upgrade plan you initially were in agreement on, which is pay the £42.99 per month for a Samsung S26 ULTRA. That was the contract what was agreed do not trust them they do nothing but lie to you i request a manager to get back to me but they never did they say the sam thing that they will call back in 48 hours but

Network coverage is absolutely abymal, rendering my phone a useless brick. When I drive anywhere I cannot stream music. I can no longer make calls, or attend work meetings in the car. I have never experienced such an incredibly bad drop off in signal quality as I have when switching to ID Mobile. Not fit for purpose. In addition, I set up direct debits for my phone and my sons. Every single month I get a text message saying I haven't paid and they cut off both of these mobiles. Every single month I set the Direct Debits up again. Then the next month it does the same thing. When I try and pay manually with my card, it fails repeatedly, right now i'm on my FIFTH attempt, entering my details, verifying on my bank app, and then it fails. No one to talk to. DO NOT SWITCH TO ID MOBILE. I'd ring customer service but there is no customer service. Other people on here reference having spoken to a human on the phone, I honestly don't know how. Where is the number hidden? The online chat is just a useless AI agent. The only thing i'd recommend this company for is that it was cheap... But then it being cheap doesn't make up for the barely existent signal rendering my phone a non functional. Nor the fault in the system that means I get cut off every month. Nor the lack of human beings to discuss this with. Just dreadful. Of course it's cheap, bad products often are. I am now trapped in a contract with a company that does not provide me with the service I pay for. I'd like to complain or ask to exit the contract but who do I speak to? DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE. Despite all this they will not let me out of my contract. In-fact they basically completely fobbed me off, it's tough luck apparently. 'I am sorry that you had to experience tis however if you do cancel your contract before the expiry date therefore a termination fee is applied as your contract only expires on the 20.11.2026,' This despite them not fulfilling their end of thr bargain here at all. Despite all the problems. They think they have me trapped legally and don't care that their service is terrible.

What a useless customer service this company allegedly provides. Lost all mobile use of my phone. It will only work if I am sitting at home. Reported to I D networks. Was promised the world as I was a customer of many years. Told I would receive my new S I M card the following day. I received a package as promised. Unfortunately this was a new phone destined for a customer in Exeter whereas online in Kent. I was contacted within 30 minutes of this delivery asking me if I could run this package to a post office 5 miles away so that this customer wouldn't be lut out too much. This was 7 pm on a Friday night. When I couldn't oblige I D s representative, David Wilson ,arranged for the package to be collected by Royal Mail the next day,Saturday and he assured me new S I M card would be delivered to me the next Monday at the latest. A full 5 days later I managed to get David Wilson to answer his phone and he again promised me delivery by the following day,Saturday28th March, when it still hadn't arrived I managed to send a What's app message to I D As I had no joy in contacting I D via Text E-Mail or telephone I admit my What's app was a bit abrasive due to my frustration at being lied to regarding my situation. This was the only correspondence I received from them. I had stated my frustrations & dissapointment and stated I would be cancelling my direct debit and looking elsewhere for a new mobile provider. After approx 8 years of being their loyal customer,never missing a payment, their response was,and I quote "You're welcome sir" .Needless to say I have cancelled my direct debit and will be looking elsewhere. I would not recommend I D to my worst enemy.

Got 3 contracts and had no issues so far. Coverage has been fine. Moved my number over and it went very smoothly. Download esim and got the app, all pretty simple! Needed to speak to customer services once and they answered my question no problem.

If I could of scored the worse then I sure would have. Took out 24month contract the increases since it started are ridiculous, internet speed is absolutely terrible and now contract has finished and phine paid off they won't even reduce the monthly bill unless I tie in for another 12 months. Joke of a company tbh. Would I use them again not a chance. Yes they start off cheap but I guess you get what you pay for clearly!

ID Mobile is genuinely one of the most frustrating companies I’ve ever had to deal with. My charges have been sporadically increasing, including an apparent £15 text message charge and roaming charges for going abroad, which I did not do. What’s even more concerning is the customer service experience. Calls are not returned, no specific times are scheduled for follow-ups, and I’ve repeatedly been passed from team to team without resolution. I’ve now had an ongoing issue that has taken over four weeks to address. The lack of accountability and clear communication has been incredibly disappointing. I am 37 now and this has been the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life.

As others have said. All is ok until something goes wrong. You have zero chance of getting support. They have contracted out services to what I believe is the cheapest place on earth. When this happens you get inexperienced buffoons handling your call, data and life. Totally unacceptable. Be very cautious.

Traded in via IDmobile, was originally offered £265, this was reduced to £60 due to a small 2cm crack on the back cover which apparently classes the device as "non-working". Incredibly poor, will be using AO going forward

If I can give this company -5 score I would. First, their support people dont know what they are doing, they have no training, incapable with technical issues or other type of requests. Their management are hiding behind emails so you cant even escalate or get the attention needed. Their network is very unstable, mobile internet is slow, the cell signal is weak inside buildings. Stay away from them, for couple of buck saved on your shiny deal you end up stuck with this amateurs for years.

Cheap does not mean safe. I’m now 8 days into a confirmed SIM-swap fraud incident and still do not have my phone number back. Other UK mobile networks typically resolve this within 24–48 hours once verified. iD Mobile have not — even after confirming the number was recovered and sending a replacement SIM. I’ve been left without service, without updates, and without any sense of urgency — repeatedly chasing for basic information. All I want is my number back. This level of delay and lack of care following a fraud incident is unacceptable.

Very Poor Customer Service I had a very poor experience with ID Mobile customer service. I called on behalf of my mother-in-law, who does not speak English at all, and explained this clearly. Despite that, they repeatedly insisted that she personally provide all the details. If she cannot speak English, how is she supposed to do that? There was no understanding, flexibility, or willingness to help. Overall, the service was frustrating and disappointing.

Took out a 24 month contract, at the beginning the service was satisfactory but after the cooling off period it went worse. It has gradually continued to get worse. The last couple of weeks the internet speed is diabolical. I have two Sims in my phone, one Vodafone and one ID mobile. They are supposed to be using the same networks and masts yet the Vodafone SIM is substantially better in call signal and internet signal. So that suggests to me that ID mobile are doing something to throttle their service. I have been in touch with their customer service. They were shocking! I was on the live chat for over an hour, they did nothing to try and fix the issue. I asked to put a formal complaint in, they said they had done that and then offered me £20 bill credit not to follow the complaint through, so basically a bribe! I told them I would rather have my service fixed and the issue investigated and then they withdrew the offer of the £20 bill credit! Since that chat my download speed has got worse and the upload speed couldn't of been worse! Absolutely terrible service, terrible customer service and now I will have to waste more of my time putting in a complaint with ofgem and the ombudsman. I would not recommend this service to anyone, pay a little more for a good provider 👍🏻

ID Mobile is a dishonest/Scammers company. They charged me a monthly subscription without activating my SIM for the last 6 months. When I asked them to activate, they requested my photo ID and other documents. They already verified my credit rating, address, etc, when they signed the contract, but why is their Indian call centre asking for my photo ID in the chat session? I'm scared of the Indian call centre scammers...

ID mobile, signed new contract then I cancelled within 3 days. They ported my old O2 number anyway, then disconnected all my numbers, the number they gave me AND the ported number. Now I have no mobile service. They are incompetent and only communicate through online chat. Awful company DO NOT USE

ID mobile would not respond to my numerous requests for my PAC code. I had to take on a new mobile number. To rub salt into my wounds, i was today contacted by a debt recovery company asking for £84.40. I have informed them that i owe absolutely nothing to ID mobile and sent them an email from ID mobile confirming that. Stay away from ID mobile
