Okay @ITzGhosty, unfortunately sometimes the retailer doesn’t process a PAC correctly, when its supplied at the point-of-sale. 

What switching date did you select? 

You can check on your PAC submission using the iD online Live Chat, and speaking to an adviser.

The advisers work until 8pm on weekdays - the iD chatbot works 24/7.

Who was your old service provider, @ITzGhosty

If you got a PAC from iD Mobile it can’t be used to switch number from one iD account to another iD account.

Okay @ITzGhosty, if you purchased at the weekend and submitted your PAC at the same time, the earliest possible switching date would be Tuesday, which assumes Monday wasn’t a bank holiday.

Hi @ITzGhosty 

 

If your port didn’t take place when attempting at point of sale, it may be worth trying the iD Mobile port form.
