“Really bad company, please stay away from them as they trick you to stay with them when the contract runs out. Its deliberately not cancel contract to force customers to stay and pay. Also the mobile data is very poor.”

“Absolutely appalling! The fact that since the pandemic hit the call centre have all closed resulting in automated online live chat is a complete and utter disrespect to one's mental health. I am a vulnerable single mother with health issues currently pregnant. My 2 year contract ended I tried to contact ID to clarify I no longer want to Carry on the the contract because of the lack of communication and no call centres my phone has been cut off from out going communications whilst the bills has accumulated to over £100 barring in mind I haven't be able to use the phone since July in between this I have tried on numerous occasions to contact ID even visiting one of the carphonewasre houses to be told that they can't help is disgusting. In the past 2 weeks my phone has been cut off completely because I have not paid the bill for the phone I haven't be able to use since June and can't contact ID to disgust the matter further. I have missed out on calls from health professionals, solicitors to do with a personal important matter. School and nursery for my children, Calls from my sick mother due to this I am isolated from the world I have no means of contacting ID mobile other than the automated un helpful live chat. I'm am so devastated the bill is building up my baby is due In the next few months. I've never felt so frustrated with a mobile phone company in my whole life. My anxiety levels have increased as I don't know how I'm going to afford to pay for a phone I cant use on top of a new baby and missing out on important phone calls. My mental health has increased due to this and I am scared of being in debt I cant afford due to the lack of empathy for vulnerable customers. I find it a disgrace that ID have moved everything on line as not every one can use online services. I believe ID mobile has set their most vulnerable customers up to fail. I don't know how this problem will be resolved but I've spent the last few days having panic attacks at the fact my family have had to contant my auntie who has cancer to look out her window to see if she can see me from her house. I'm devastated..”

“It is not even a 1 rating it is zero! My card got stolen so every month I had to use a new card to pay a paltry balance of 18 pounds but it then has got to the point they say my bank is not responding and so for days I have not been able to make a call. I cannot cancel either and so I have had to buy another phone with another provider. Please NEVER use ID they are terrible and useless. The worst ever. I will be spreading this far and wide because they have treated me dreadfully.”

“Same story as others - awful customer service, impossible to speak to a human being. I have been trying to get my contract cancelled and number transferred to a new provider. New provider had me up and running in a few days, idmobile has taken over two months to get contract closed and was trying to keep billing me even after number had transferred to new provider. I joined idmobile over 3 years ago, tempted by low cost at the time - there are now better providers out there with better pricing (particuarly for mobile data packages) and customer service where you can easily get hold of a helpful person. Would avoid idmobile in future!”

“Since January have been trying to cancel the contract for a phone that has not be used for over a year (emergency phone for elderly parents they never used and subsequently lost) Firstly I could not get through automated service as did not have mobile number, then same issue with ID chat. Finally did speak to someone on line as I had cancelled my direct debit I gave notice and asked to pay any balance - they told me I could only pay the monthly charge and to call back to pay next month as final payment as then would match with end of contract! I did this but then noticed two late payment charges on my credit file. Thought the matter was now closed but then in June received a debit collection letter for ID mobile I rang the company and explained this account was closed in Feb - the Debit agency told me they had this issue previously and they would deal directly with ID mobile I have heard nothing else but now have the third late payment showing on my credit file and that my account with ID mobile (carphone warehouse) is now in arrears ! I cannot contact anyone and just now affecting my credit rating for a phone that was not even used and was given notice to cancel in January. Do not use them you cannot actually speak to a person if you have queries or want to give notice”

“Unable to cancel contact as unable to contact iD mobile. I raised a complaint with the ombudsman (who have been absolutely useless) they did agree that the date I finally managed to formally cancel the contract was 3 months prior to my final monthly billing. I have sent numerous recorded letters to iD mobile since the ombudsman case and yet again no response from iD mobile. Im now looking for others in a similar position to raise a legal case against against iD mobile. gailm at live.co.uk”

“Same as all the other posters, you cant contact them apart from a "chat bot" who is clearly abroad and lot allowed to make any decisons, they just copy and paste the same stuff over and over again about being sorry. Have had no internet for 3 weeks and still waiting a resolution. Personally would never go with them again and have advised all friends an family not to”

“I am disgusted with this company and have taken my case to the communications ombudsman I gave themmore than 30 days notice to ID Mobile via email to cancel my contract on 13.4.21. I received a reply saying it will be passed to a member if the team on 13.4.21. The live chat people are useless. ID Mobile don't answer the phone, the only email address is the complaints one yet they are trying to tell me I sent my cancellation request to the wrong email address but no other email address available. I received a letter in the post on 10th May saying they needed my dob and bank details. How did I set up a contract without these details ?. I sent a letter with a copy of my 1st email dated 13 4.21 registered post to them it was ignored. 3 months later after numerous emails and letters they are saying I owe them £60+ . I am not paying them and advised them under the consumer rights act 2015 I will rightfully sue them should I have to. I am letting the ombudsman sort this out in the first instance. Please people do not let this company get away with all the issues they have caused us. I am willing to put a case together I have access to free legal advice and I want to ensure this company are reported. I don't want to put my contact details on here but do want to help. If anyone is on Facebook or Instagram I am going to put a post out about this issue and you can then contact me via either .. I will put the post out on Sunday 25th July 2021 . Please get in touch just search posts complaint against ID Mobile . Please tell anyone you know never to use this company .. Sandra”

“Honestly I would give them 00000, but there is no option. Customer service is the worst I have seen in my life of 40 years in more than 7 countries I been living in. I am on a holiday in North Macedonia (Macedonia previously) and I can't receive calls from the 1st day I arrived (I can make calls, use data and receive/send messages). All this is included in the roaming package. Because there is no number to call them or write an email I have tried to raise my issue with their chat agents. I have chatted with several of them and seems like they have no idea what's going on, and all gave me idiotic explanations and resolutions, but didn't do anything to resolve my problem. Then I have raised a formal complain through their voice message and received an email from some Matt, that they are going to resolve my issue and update me. Two weeks passed and nothing happen, I have even emailed Matt back twice to ask for updated and no response. In mean time I have raised another voice messages complaint and I have received this email: Dear Mr A........, I'm contacting you in relation to some recent concerns you raised with iD mobile. Please can you call us on 0800 049 1300 so we can discuss your complaint further. Kind Regards iD mobile Complaints Team Nice email, isn't it? I was so happy that in the end I will be able to talk to someone and explain my worries. Unfortunately no one pick up the phone. I am calling them every day in different times, but nothing. After several bips, the line is going off. No chance to leave a message or so. It looks like a careless Phantom Company where you can't talk to people. It looks like if the things are going good, you are lucky and be happy, but if something goes wrong it's just wrong and you have to live with that. Avoid this company by all means.”

“Never ever take contract with this scam company . Cancel the contract within 30 days because of poor signals and reconfirmed with customer service before taking the PAC code that I don’t need to pay any termination charges . Received final bill of £6.71 but took £139 from my account . Now refusing to refund. This is daylight robbing .”

“Poor signal since moving to a new home. Impossible to get through to a human who can actually he’ll. Continually forced to go through live chat and it takes 20minutes to even begin to tackle the actual issue....then told “someone will be in touch”, which means, we’ll send you a text and invite you to contact us! Tried calling and just on hold. Such poor customer service. I must also add, up until I moved house I had no issues whatsoever for 2.5 years of use. It’s such a shame that the one time I needed help, they were useless and will Lose me and my wife as customers”
