Port number in - app and live chat no help

Hello,

I’m hoping that I can get some help from the forum team as the ChatGPT bot had me going round in circles.

I am trying to port my number from Lebara to to ID mobile, after starting an iPhone 17 contract. I’ve been with ID mobile previously and the bot keeps saying that my number has already ported and is active on a different pay as you go plan, when it isn’t, as the number I want is currently with labara, and the account is still active! 
 

Please can a member if the forum team please help me to resolve this, as it is incredibly frustrating.

 

thank you!

thank you - but I’ve already done this. A couple of times, in fact. I fill out the details a get an error saying ‘Oops something went wrong…’, but i then get a text stating that the switch has been arranged for X date. The date of the first one has long since passed.

Probably best to resolve this issue by using the iD online Live Chat service, to speak to a customer adviser ​@hexadecio

The advisers work until 8pm on weekdays and 6pm on weekends - just tell the 24/7 chatbot you’d like to “talk to a person”.
