Hello I had a sim only deal of £18 with ID mobile and my own phone (having purchased it over two years with ID mobile) Unlimited data, calls texts. I was out of contract so could cancel anytime.
…
……
………
Is there any way I can do this - keep my old number, close my old account with ID mobile and keep only the new one??
The only way I could see this perhaps working is if I get the PAC code - go to another sim only provider like Vodaphone or 02 - with no contract, cancel anytime, cheap sim. Move my number to them. Then leave them as soon as possible, get a PAC code and then transfer my number (from 02 or whoever) to my new ID mobile account.
I think this could work - but its a huge fuss to go through.
The other option is just to cancel my old account with ID mobile and have a new number - but this is problematic for work reasons and stationary printing etc.
Anyone any ideas - or better still, ID Mobile, can you help.
Many thanks
Unfortunately
- Get your PAC for the number you want to keep.
- Get a PAYG SIM from another provider (like EE, O2, Three, Vodafone, ASDA mobile, SMARTY etcetera) and switch to them, using the PAC for the number you want to keep.
- Once the switch is done and everything works, get a PAC for the number you want to keep, to use with your new ID mobile connection.

Hi
It may be best to do what we’d call a triangle port.
Move the number you’d like to keep via PAC code from the current iD Mobile plan to another network’s Pay As You Go SIM card, once it’s moved there use a PAC code to move it from there to the new iD Mobile contact plan.

Hi, I purchased a 2-year SIM plan from iD Mobile three months ago, but the SIM was delayed more than two weeks, leading me to cancel the contract. I never used the contact even for a day. I also removed the direct debit from my bank app. Now, there's a £2 iD Mobile payment due showing in my credit history, affecting my credit score. Can you suggest a solution for this?

Hey there
Additionally, if you haven’t requested the port yet, you can do so below:
https://switching.idmobile.co.uk
We have also had a small outage over the last two days which meant that a couple customers port’s were delayed, so that may well be affecting yours at the moment, although I believe that has also been resolved very recently.
Please may I ask when you believe your port-in to have been due for?
Kind regards,
Tyler

Hi
Could you let us know a little more about this issue?
What circles is it sending you in?
Are you using the iD Mobile port form?
What error do you get?
Does your transaction number begin with a 4?

I never received anything after sending referral , my partner is the person who took a new contract from the link , I set it all up for him as he doesn’t know how to do it , I can even give you his number but not on a public forum, I spoke on chat and they said someone would contact me but I have heard nothing.
I have placed an order for an eSIM but have not yet received my email with the QR code how long does this normally take? Thanks.
