Already a customer SIM ONLY 30 day contract - just upgraded - do I need to install new SIM?


I have been a customer for a number of years on a SIM only monthly rolling contract.

I have recently upgraded as I could get more data and unlimited calls for the same price which is great.

But the email I recevied said a new sim would be sent. Looking at the account now, I can see the new data allowance and the unlimited calls are active on the account.

So, assuming a new sim is being send, do I still need to install the new sim when it arrives?

So @sysip10, iD send out a new SIM when you UPGRADE in case your existing SIM doesn’t fit in the phone you intend to use with your UPGRADED plan.

Your existing SIM will continue to work - you don’t need to install the new SIM, unless your old SIM doesn’t fit in the phone.

Good luck.

Hi @Jaguar 

 

What plan are you currently on? A pay monthly contract or a Pay As You Go?

 

It’s likely you’re already on a plan that can make calls and receive while abroad.
