ESim tranafer with old iphone deactivated


Hi.

just set up new iPhone, first time being with ID Mobile. Selected eSIM transfer and believe transfer to old number happens on Tuesday.

Old iPhone is now deactivated and can’t complete set up via settings on iPhone, mobile service, set up mobile service. Can’t transfer and don’t have QR code to complete. 

in meantime I can’t seem to set anything up and only can communicate when I’m on WiFi. I can’t even set up account on id mobile as no code comes through to new number. Really stressing and stuck here

We’ve had problems with iD since last Tuesday but today we half managed to get calls etc. We disabled WiFi calling and are now able to get calls. We’ve been with iD for years but this whole experience has been appalling, if you are within your 14 day cooling off period I’d look for another provider.
