Hello. I recently switched from 3 to ID mobile, and I used a PAC code to keep the same phone number. However, once I had set up my new ESim, I was given the option of choosing a primary and secondary number, so I chose my old phone number to be my primary. I am confused as to the point of this secondary number, as I was under the impression that my oils phone number would carry over when I switched to ID. Does anyone have the answer?

Have Three UK confirmed your Three UK account has been closed and a final bill prepared?
If your switch from Three UK to iD Mobile was successful, the mobile number you wanted to keep should now be linked to the iD Mobile eSIM in your handset.
The mobile network operator controls the number used with their SIM/eSIM. Your phone should detect the mobile number for your SIM/eSIM when it connects to the mobile network.
