Remove old SIM from contract as blocking login for new SIM

Errr... that's not a great answer and cannot actually be true as I'm not sure what you are describing is actually legally compliant with GDPR law.

According to Data Protection and GDPR law I have the legal right to have all my data completely wiped from any online storage if I request it. That means I should be able to ask you to completely forget me therefore disassociating my email address from any previous products. If you can't do this it means you are storing my email details forever = not legal.

If what you say is true, your security officer should take a pretty quick look at your security policies.

Hello @stevebagge71,

Apologies for any misunderstandings. Simply un-linking the username from the old account isn't something we can do. Registering with a new email would be the best way to go about doing this.

Cancelling a contract would not lead to automatically deleting your account from our records.
If you're wanting for your information to be removed from our databases via GDPR, please visit our Privacy Policy here: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/legal/privacy-and-cookies

You should be able to complete this request via our Web Form and the Team will look into your request.


Aside from my previous response.... if what you say is true and not possible to add my email address to my new SIM, please advise how I can change the email address that is registered to my new SIM so I can use the mobile app

You will be able to register for a new iD account using a different email address to manage your account.
There is nothing stopping you keeping the same contact email address but it's not currently possible to have the same email address registered as a log-in for multiple accounts.
