Phone received today (13th) but switching date to retain my number is 20th Jan. Does this mean I cannot start up the phone until that date?

Hi
Welcome and thank you for reaching out to us here on the community.
On the iD Mobile SIM, you will have a temporary number to use until the port completes on the 20th January.
This means you can use the phone/SIM but it won’t be the previous number. You are also welcome to pop you old SIM in to the handset until the port is complete.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Nat
