Is there any charge for switching a number via PAC to new ID mobile account?
Says £25 charge for ‘changing’ number, but ‘switching’ or ‘transfering’ seems to be mentioned separately with no mention of any charge.
I only ask as I have never been charged for a PAC switch before so figured the charge must only relate to being issued with a wholly different number rather than switching in an existing one?
Thanks.

There is no charge for a PAC - the OFCOM rules forbid this happening.
You cannot use a PAC to transfer a mobile number directly from one iD plan to another iD plan
The £25 admin fee would apply to change your number, meaning you’re asking for an new number to replace the number you’ve got.

Great. I did try to look for the regulations on it, but could only find that the provider the number was being ported from could not charge. Wasn’t sure about the provider it was being ported to.
yes, I am transferring it from another provider, not ID mobile.
Thanks.

Hi
The £25 charge is just for changing a number to a random one if you don’t want the number you currently have with iD Mobile, typically done to avoid spam etc.
To move a number from another network to iD Mobile via PAC code is no additional charge.
