number transfer issue


Hi all,

 

I switched from O2 to id mobile in November last year. Did everything correctly and for my PAC code and got all the relevant messages from ID as to status updates on the number switch.  After all had been completed there are still a few people who are not able to call me. Mainly my wife aiming a few others. My contract finally got terminated with O2 a month or so ago due to a technical hitch with a backdated order. Can I still get a PAC code from O2 and give to I'd obile to get the final missing part of the swap completed? What should I do? Terrible that ID mobile doesn't have any person to speak with as this could be dealt with far easier and quicker

I switched over at the end of November last year but my O2 account was closed fully about a month or so ago due to a technical issue with an order I had. I am using a Google pixel 9 pro XL. Where can I find the live chat feature as I haven't found it yet

This issue seems to have been from the moment I switched over. I have since tried using the live chat but that is just an automated service and not very helpful. I need to speak to a human that can actually help

I have since done a network reset on my device and switched the phone off and back on - that seems not to have worked

Hey there ​@Vikingmike, to speak to an agent on the live-chat, simply type “Speak to an agent”:

 

https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat

 

Have you tried the following?

 

1) Open Messages, go to Settings (top right, Message Settings), open "Chat Features" or "RCS Chats", verify if this is the correct number or not.

2) If it shows the incorrect one, then head to: https://messages.google.com/disable-chat and you should be able to unregister the number.

 

Once done, turn off the Chat Features/RCS and the phone.

 

Wait a few minutes and turn the device back on and re-enable Chat Features/RCS it should let you re-register/update to the correct number. Alternatively, you can turn Chat Features/RCS off and test SMS after this.

 

Thanks,

Tyler
