missing ID mobile number


I just signed up to a SIM only contract last night and received my welcome email.  Including the TRANSACTION NUMBER but no mention of a ID MOBILE NUMBER. According to iD Mobile “You can find your iD Mobile number on the receipt you received with your plan or in the welcome email we sent you the day after joining iD.”  

I tried downloading the app hoping it would be there - but it’s not. And… I need the iD mobile number to complete setting up my account.  

I really want to transport my old number across and I have a PAC code but I cannot complete the transaction until I determine the iD mobile number.  Thank you for any suggestions…Question to iD Mobile.. why do you not display the new mobile number as your Easy To Transfer information says…?

Hi @mac1001m

Welcome to the Community!

You can find your iD Mobile number by inserting the SIM and placing a call to a family or friend.

The number they see will be the iD Mobile number.

Hi @Wessex18, it isn’t. Your mobile number would be listed on your original invoice or contract.

Hey there ​@Anna statham, sorry to hear that. What details are you needing please? Just the iD Mobile phone number?

 

If you’ve received a replacement SIM card, you’ll also need to activate it.

 

Thanks,

Tyler
