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

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”.

Hi Sian, 

this problem has been passed to technical dept as I had pac numbers for both phones we purchased off ID, my wife’s ported on Wednesday and mine still hasn’t. Technical dept will be getting in touch within 48hrs. Just a absolute pain without your own number.

Hey there ​@Russell D, sorry to ehar that. When any of our teams pass on information to the technical team, the technical team wouldn’t get back in touch with you directly. Therefore, please contact the team you contacted in the first place, for them to check for an update from the technical team and to advise you further.

 

Any further questions, please do let us know.

 

Thanks,

Tyler
