As said in the title while setting up my new phone which use the 3 network my old EE account transferred over. How do I get rid of it to allow my new 3 account to activate. Or will it happen later

Yes, number you want to keep should show-up after being transferred from EE to iD on Friday.

Just to say, UK mobile number transfers don’t happen immediately, so number you want to keep may not work properly with your iD SIM until Friday afternoon/evening. 

Good luck ​@Runtom

Is there an EE SIM or EE eSIM in the phone that’s using your iD SIM, ​@Runtom?

EE eSIM but I have just in the last few minutes deleted it. I have put in my idmobile sim but it’s asking me to input a number Assuming when I am ported on Friday it will show my old number.
