Upgraded phone - new number?

I've ordered and received a new phone as an 'upgrade' but my old contract still seems to be running and I've received a SIM card with a new number. I don't remember this happening the last time that I upgraded. 

 

Will the number and billing be automatically transferred over or is there some action that I need to take?

 

It's very opaque where to reach out to for help.

If you’ve received a new SIM card and new mobile number, sounds like you’ve purchased a second iD contract and not upgraded in the same way as previously.

I think you’ve got two options:

  1. Cancel and return in the cooling-off period.
  2. Keep the upgrade and get a PAC for the number you want to keep and port to another provider - once this port is complete, get another PAC to port back to the iD contract you want to keep.

You should be able to get assistance by contacting iD Mobile privately through Facebook (using Messenger), or Twitter (by DM), and submit your PAC via the social media team.

Their customer support agents work until 8pm on weekdays (6pm at weekends) - good luck @jclark91.

Hi @Ika W-ska 

 

Could you let us know what you mean by this?

 

If you’re already with iD Mobile and upgrade you’d keep the same number.

Sorted it, got in touch on Facebook. Not a good process - why advertise a chat feature that doesn't work

Hi @jclark91 

 

Glad to hear you got in touch on Facebook.

 

I’ve just tried the live chat with success, we’d recommend trying on a different browser or device.

Hey @Lesley Bacon,

You’ll need to get in touch to process a return.

Once it’s returned, the upgrade will be reversed.
