It’s in the tille really.  I’ve been with Idmobile for some time and asked to upgrade my contract. They have sent me a new sim. If I replace the old one this this will my telephone number change?

Hello @Stan Willis,

If you upgrade or change your plan (from the app or iD My Account online), then you keep your mobile number. 

The “Pay monthly upgrades: Everything you need to know” community article explains in more detail.

Finally, you don’t actually need to use the new SIM that came with your upgrade. iD only send out a new SIM in case the old SIM doesn’t fit in the upgraded phone.

Anyway, good luck!

Hey @Stan Willis,

The new SIM sent with the upgrade will be blank.

If you do activate it, services just swap over to it and you keep your number.
