Hi there,

 

I have just moved to the UK from Ireland. I am looking to set up a uk number and pay as you go monthly phone. Is this possible with no previous Uk number? I’m unsure how to go about this.

Okay @Lisaagore, welcome to the UK and the iD community.

All of the UK mobile service providers will give you a UK mobile number when you buy a pay monthly or PAYG SIM card.

 

Thank you for your reply ! I’m finding difficulty with this as when I go to purchase it won’t let me without having a current uk number. When I go to purchase with my card as it’s Irish and not connected to the current uk address, it won’t let me!

Okay @Lisaagore, you’ll need a UK bank account and UK residential address to order a pay monthly  plan from iD Mobile.

You should be able to get a PAYG instead though.
🤞

Hey @Lisaagore,

When asked for the contact number, you can just put 0777777777 as it should let you past 

It’s only a number we use for contact and you can later update this to your own UK number once you have this.
