Network Reset on Samsung for iD Mobile
A network reset on Samsung removes all saved Wi-Fi passwords, Bluetooth pairings, APN settings, and VPN configurations. It does NOT delete photos, apps, or personal data. It forces iD Mobile to re-provision your network settings.
Go to Settings → General Management → Reset → Reset Network Settings and confirm. Your Samsung will restart automatically. This process takes 30–60 seconds.
After restart, allow 3–5 minutes for your iD Mobile SIM to re-register on the network. Mobile data, calls and texts should restore automatically.
After a network reset, verify APN settings at Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Access Point Names. If the iD Mobile APN profile was cleared, add it manually: APN: id.
Network reset removes all saved Wi-Fi passwords. You will need to reconnect to your home and other saved networks manually and re-enter passwords.
Test iD Mobile mobile data by opening a browser. Test calls by making a test call. Test SMS by sending a text. If any feature fails, proceed to individual fix guides.
If network reset does not resolve your issue, call 7777 (from iD Mobile). Persistent problems after a network reset usually require iD Mobile to resend provisioning or replace your SIM.

Will I need to re-enter iD Mobile APN settings after a network reset?
