Cancelled direct debit on the way to my switch to ID Mobile

My phone is supposed to be switched to ID Mobile today (SIM monthly plan) with my phone number from Three being kept. I have inserted the ID Mobile SIM in the phone. I have had a text from ID Mobile telling me my bank has cancelled my direct debit which I set up with the order for the ID SIM - there is no record of this on my bank account. I have just had to set up an ID account using the ID SIM number (which I don’t want to use) and have paid the first instalment as a one off. I don’t want to set up a direct debit again until I know I am being switched to my old phone number. What do I do?

Hi @HollyBlue 

 

If you’ve registered to the app/website using the original iD Mobile number don’t worry, the number will switch soon after the actual number switches over for services.

 

Has your transfer completed yet?

Thanks Tom. Yes the number has now switched/transferred. But my bank told me they definitely hadn’t cancelled the direct debit as only I can cancel a direct debit, so I don’t know why ID told me this on their text. I presume I now have to set up a direct debit again. Not a good start to being with ID.

In the meantime I have had a spurious private message today from someone calling themselves ID Help (who only joined yesterday and has done no other messages) suggesting I text a mobile number with my query. It’s signed ID Support !!!!!!!!

Hi @HollyBlue 

 

We wouldn’t ask you to text a number for support here, our official channels are here on the community (Employees are noted as such on their profiles), @iD Support, Live Chat, Facebook and Twitter.

 

If you can tag the account in question, we can look into it.

 

To re-enable a direct debit, we’d recommend using the iD Mobile app/website.

Thanks for letting me know - very pleased to hear that as he/she was clearly trying to pretend to be officially replying from ID Mobile.
