I need to buy a work phone for my new job. If I purchase a new phone and sim/eSim, how can I ensure it won’t use my current number?

    Hi ​@Shauna Wilson 

     

    Any new iD Mobile plan purchased would come with a new number, however I would also note the terms and conditions noted by ​@WelshPaul above.
