I requested a switch a week ago for the 15th (yesterday) - received a text confirming the switch date, customer service also verified it was scheduled for 15th as well. It is now the 16th and still my ID Sim has it’s issued number, not the number I want to keep from O2.

How much longer can I expect to wait? My O2 Sim still works (as it’s using the number I want) so I’m not entirely sure if the switch was even correctly booked in - as I should be switched now.

If your O2 SIM is still working, then sounds like somethings has gone wrong @BenEllis1997

Try using iD Live Chat or their social media channels, if you are looking for immediate assistance with your switch @BenEllis1997.

FYI, the iD staff only read forum posts once a day, and sometimes it’s less frequent.

Hi @BenEllis1997, welcome to the community!

From what you’ve described, it sounds like your number transfer request hasn’t been processed by us like it should have been. If you’ve received a text from iD to say that your number has transferred over, this may be a case of a split port.

 

We’ll shortly send you a Private Message to your Community account, so we can discuss your issue further.

Hi @Pushpa Kafle,

Welcome to the Community!

Did you select a specific date for the port to take place?

What happens when you use the number with the old provider?

Good afternoon, 

I submitted my PAC code when moving to ID mobile from 3 and selected today as the transfer date for my old number. 
 

This hasn’t happened. What can I do?

Have you tried the online iD Live Chat service, @mxs105
One of the customer advisors should be able to look into your switching request.
