I want to switch to ID but the earliest switch is next Monday and will be in Europe. Is it possible to switch if you are on roaming?

Hi @Dchapman 

 

Yes, there shouldn’t be any issues with porting while being abroad.

Thank you Tom,

 

one more question if I may. As I am leaving the UK on Sunday evening should I get a new SIM card first or use the option to switch now using the PAC code?

I also found another question about porting a number to iD and the answer said you had to be in the UK to switch. That makes me unsure if the switch will be possible while in EU

thanks

Hi @Dchapman 

 

If you haven’t ordered a SIM card already you wouldn’t likely get it before Sunday as they’re delivered via Royal Mail within 3-5 working days, it could be worth visiting a local Currys store.

 

When porting you’ll have the option to select a date you’d want the port to take place, there shouldn’t be any issues with porting while roaming. On the selected date your SIM card would stop working and then you’ll be able to swap to the iD Mobile SIM card from that point.
