Porting my old number


I’ve just joined ID Mobile, last Thursday. During the setup process I was asked if I’d like to port my existing number, which I did. I filled in the details with the PAC Code etc.

I received my new phone on Saturday but the contract summary states that no request was made to switch. I have tried once again to fill in the required details but was unable to do so. I have had no text or email verification that the porting is in progress.

Help would be appreciated.

@gillinger  Apologies on behalf of IDMobile but I've recently been informed that there are technical problems with the porting of numbers with IDMobile. IDM are investigating the problem I can't confirm when this matter will be resolved.

The problem has effected the porting via website and via the IDMobile app. 

You have 30 day's from time of issue to use your PAC code. Keep checking in on this site for updates or

log into the Live Chat and type in the message box To Speak to someone.,and an agent will contact you. 

 

Our Live Chat team are available 9am - 8pm Monday to Friday, and 9am - 6pm Saturday, Sunday, and Bank Holidays.

You can access Live Chat here: www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat.

Hi Joe, Many thanks. I managed to do as you said and spoke on Live Chat to an agent, who has confirmed that I will be getting switched tomorrow. My main gripe was the fact that the Contract stated that no switch had been requested, but all cleared up now.

@gillinger Personally I've no idea how IDMobile processes their orders with porting requests, I'm just I regular member trying to help other members in the community. Staff members are identified in their profiles clearly.

Well that's good news for you see you around.
