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 |

| Tuesday 23 December 2025 | Monday 29 December 2025 |
| Wednesday 24 December 2025 - Monday 29th December 2025 | Tuesday 30 December 2025 |
