My new phone arrived on Monday last week but the number I want to keep still has not been transferred and I can't receive calls or text messages. If this is not resolved ASAP who do I contact to get a full refund?

Okay ​@Retrod40s, in your case it would appear iD Mobile haven’t processed your PAC - maybe the switching date got ’lost’ somewhere, somehow.

Probably best to Live Chat with iD customer service to rectify matters - the iD advisors work until 8pm on weekdays.

Okay ​@Retrod40s, just to say that sometimes iD Mobile don’t process your PAC properly, if it’s submitted at same time you purchase your phone.

  • Does your ‘old’ service provider’s SIM card still work?
  • What happens when you call the number you wanted to keep, from another phone?

This community article explains other ways of contacting iD customer service.

If you have just a new phone just take the sim card out of the old phone and install in the new phone. 

Now if you're new to ID Mobile and have a sim card work from another network and want to keep said number you need to port that number onto I'd mobile. 

So you need to contact your old mobile operator and get a PAC code which is available for 30 day's once you've received it. Then you port your number over onto IDMobile using said PAC code and phone number you want to keep.

Hey there ​@Lucy Lu, thank you for reaching out.

 

To confirm, are you trying to transfer your number from another network over to ours?

 

Or are you trying to transfer your number from one iD contract to another please?

 

Thanks,

Tyler
