I have bought my daughter a new iPhone and monthly contract, moving from Vodafone to ID mobile. I requested the PAC from Vodafone a few days ago and was told this valid for 30 days (til 30th May). I picked up new phone yesterday from curry’s and was advised by a member of staff that as soon as daughters old phone stopped working (number ported), the new phone/contract would start (I questioned this as my understanding was that I could choose a date within those 30 days to “switch” - this is because my daughters birthday is on the 29th May so was hoping to do it nearer the time). Today I have received an email with a QR code saying the new e-sim is ready and once downloaded can take a few mins to set up. My question is do I need to do this now if her old phone is going to stop working, or will her old phone stop working when I download the new sim, meaning I can wait until nearer her actual birthday??
thanks in advance - have been with the same provider for decades so have never had to do this before!
