I have just ordered a new Unltd Data Sim only card. however it wasnt clear about the process of retaining my original mobile phone number and how long the switch will take.

in addition to this i was not able to set up a Direct Debit date .

 

I would like some clarity on the above

Regards

C.Mc

Okay ​@C.Mc, you’ll need to ask Three UK for a PAC and then give this to iD Mobile, to switch the number you want to keep to your iD account. 

This community article should help.
