It’s a faff and will take several days - try these steps, @ellie.mawdsley1.

  1. Get a PAC from iD for the number you want to keep. 
  2. Give the PAC from step 1 to a PAYG service provider, e.g. ASDA Mobile, giffgaff, etcetera.
  3. Wait until the number you want to keep has been successfully switched to the provider chosen in step 2. 
  4. Get a PAC from provider chosen in step 2, for the number you want to keep. 
  5. Give the PAC from step 4 to iD Mobile for the iD contract you’re planning to keep.

Hi @ellie.mawdsley1 

 

I’d recommend the same as @andewhite, a triangle port isn’t something we’d typically recommend, however if it’s right for you it is absolutely possible.

 

It’s worth noting in @andewhite’s step 2 that the PAYG service provider must be a different one to the contract(s).
