Swapping Phone Numbers


I have just bought an Iphone from Id Mobile and got a new number with it. I currently have an old contract still active with ID Mobile and would like to swap my new number with my old number. Is this possible?

Currently you can’t transfer a number from one iD contract to another iD contract @JasperSmit

To use the number you want to keep with your new iD contract, you’d need to perform a triangle port.

  1. Get a PAC for the old iD contract. 
  2. Give the PAC to another service provider. 
  3. Wait several days - get a PAC from the other provider, for number to want to keep. 
  4. Use the PAC from step 3) with the latest iD contract - the one you plan to keep.

It’s a faff doing all this, but you should be able to use your old number with the new contract.

Hi @JasperSmit 

 

Unfortunately it isn’t possible to move a number from one iD Mobile plan to another one directly.

 

Numbers can only be transferred from another network via PAC code.
