Switching over Christmas and New Years.

 

If you’re planning to make the switch to iD Mobile over Christmas and New Years, it may take a little longer than usual to complete the process. But don’t worry!

You won’t need to hold off on using your new iD Mobile plan until the switching process is complete, either. You’ll still be able to use your new plan, it’ll just take slightly longer to disconnect your old one.

Here’s a breakdown of when you can expect your switch to complete, depending on the day you gave us your PAC or STAC:

 

Give us your PAC or STAC by Switching Date
Monday 22 December 2025 Tuesday 23 December 2025
Tuesday 23 December 2025 Monday 29 December 2025
Wednesday 24 December 2025 - Monday 29th December 2025 Tuesday 30 December 2025
Tuesday 30 December 2025 Friday 2 January 2026
Wednesday 31 December 2025 - Friday 2nd January 2026 Monday 5 January 2026

Our Live Chat team will be here to help from 9am to 6pm on Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Eve. We’ll be closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

    Hi ​@Daddydiva3010 ,

     

    To use your PAC code and keep your existing number, you don’t need to enter it in the app yourself.

    Option 2: By text
    If your iD SIM is active, simply text PAC followed by a space and your PAC code to 65075.

    Once submitted, your number will usually transfer within 1 working day (or on the date you selected). You’ll receive a confirmation text once the transfer is complete.
