OK - sorted. No text, but just after I posted an email turned up. So it’s happening today.

Just to say, UK mobile number transfers don’t happen immediately, ​@greekislandlover.

On the switching date, you’ll know iD Mobile have started working on your number transfer when your previous service provider SIM stops working.

It can take several hours or more for iD to connect the number (you want to keep) to their network, and  then provision the number and network services to your iD SIM.

Once iD have started your switch, it can help if you restart the phone with your iD SIM on an hourly basis, until the switch has been completed.

Thanks. I know it takes however long it takes. I just wanted to know it was happening today. As they sent the email confirming, all is good!

Just to say, OFCOM rules say mobile number transfers should be completed on the scheduled switching date, ​@greekislandlover. 

At iD Mobile, they say number transfers are usually completed by 10pm on the switching date. If switch is delayed, OFCOM rules say customer is entitled to daily compensation.  

Can I ask, if this is the case do you still have to activate the QR code through your settings? I’ve tried to do this (without a confirmation code) and it keeps saying there’s an error. I have also logged onto the app with my transferred over number and it also says it’s sending me a text that I’m not receiving. Please advise?

​@charbf2025 Are you activating an eSIM? You don’t need a QR code for your number to be transferred across.
