Switching to iD?

Switching to iD can save you money, because it stops you being charged for your old and new contract at the same time.Once you’ve received your SIM card, switching to iD is simple. Here’s what you’ll need: PAC (if want to transfer your number to iD) or STAC (if you want to switch without your old number):Using your old SIM, text PAC to 65075. Your PAC will then be sent to you by text. Using your old SIM, text STAC to 75075. Your STAC will be sent to you by text. Existing mobile number:This is the mobile number from your old network - even if you’re not looking to keep it.Transaction number:This is a 9-digit number that can be found in your ‘order complete’ email or on your paper invoice. Here’s a few examples of where you can find your transaction number: Purchased from idmobile.co.uk: Order Complete Email (Example)   Purchased from Carphone Warehouse:Carphone Warehouse Contract Summary Email (Example)  Purchased from e2save mobiles:e2save mobiles - Contract Summary Email (example)  Pu

My number was fraudulently ported to another network and Its been nearly 14 days and ID mobile still hasn't sorted this

Please Help… I am losing my mind over this.  Firstly someone hacked my ID mobile account and requested a PAC code to port to another network.  As soon as my I knew there was an issue I contacted ID mobile.  This was almost 2 weeks ago and even though a new sim has been sent out and the PAC number has been retrieved back from another company.  I still can not get onto the network.  despite the numerous online chats and promises of “it will be another 48 hours our tech team are dealing with it”  nothing is happening.  I have asked on many occasions for the Tech team to contact me.   I am just going round in circles.

I'm feeling completely lost!

I registered with iD Mobile last night as the Plusnet Sim-only mobile service is very sadly closing and iD Mobile is a Which Best Buy, but I now feel completely lost! I have questions to ask about my new account, but I can’t phone anyone or contact anyone via Twitter or the app and now feel abandoned. I set up a direct debit and requested my PAC from Plusnet, but now feel stranded as I don’t know what happens next. I would feel more confident if I could at least access my account or an app, but neither of them are currently available… I am beginning to wonder whether I should have opted for one of the Big Names in the industry, but iD Mobile looked like what I was looking for. I read that there is lots of online support available, but I’ve yet to find it!Can someone please reassure me that I will be supported and will eventually have an account to access as I currently feel that I might have made a mistake? Thank you!

Transaction Number - I’ve not received it

Hi,I’m new to iD Mobile and I’m very frustrated! I can’t find my Transact 9 digit number! I haven’t received a welcome email either with all my details on. It’s not in my spam/junk either.  I have my PAC code. I know where to go to put the details in for this (after much researching!) but I now need this other number.  iD please help ASAP! I have till the 27th April to get my number transferred. I don’t want to regret leaving my previous provider!

Delay in Porting

Have been reading about so many number porting issues, seems to be a bit of a lottery, as my wife and son have had no problems so far. I should have had my Vodafone number ported to iD yesterday and even though my Vodafone number and account has disconnected, porting has yet to happen. Contacted various live chat agents yesterday (got cut off twice) who after suggesting it was a PAC issue with Vodafone, later admitted there was a “porting issue!!” found on my account and that Technical team would expedite my problem but take up to 48hrs to resolve. I did lodge a formal complaint last night which takes up to 7 working days to be looked into! My question is has everyone had their porting issue resolved eventually or should I be considering the fact that my old number is lost forever and I will have the laborious task of informing everyone I have contact with of a phone number change.

Samsung Z Flip3 5G

Hi.  I just signed up with iD on a SIM only contract.  I have a Z Flip 3 and am assuming it’s compatible for WiFi calling and 5G on the ID network?  I can only see mention of the Flip and the Flip 5 models in all the ‘compatibility’ lists I’ve found, but mine worked for both on my previous network (O2).Can anyone advise?

New phone and sim - sim not working

Hi, I have a new phone and sim. My old number from EE was scheduled to be switched today, but my phone is not reading the sim card inserted, and therefore, there is no network. I’ve tried off and on, taking sim out and putting back in and airplane mode off and on, but to no avail. Please advise.
