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.
New phone and sim - sim not working
There is very little you can do other than to wait until 10pm. If it’s not working, then you will need to arrange for a replacement SIM card to be sent out to you or collect one from a local curry's store.
Hi
Welcome to the Community!
Is your SIM now working with the ported number?
If you are still experiencing problems we can look at sending a replacement SIM and checking the port.

Hi Kash,
Unfortunately my SIM is still not working.
I have been into a local Curry’s store who have given me a replacement SIM and told me to speak with live chat, but live chat were unable to resolve the issue before clocking off this evening, so I am still without a useable phone.
Is there a speedily way to get this resolved?
Best wishes,
Liam

I am also experiencing this. From my perspective I have sorted the PAC transfer from EE to IDMOBILE and have now been without service for over two days. Please help

It should be noted that I’m also unable to register an account as a code is texted to the phone, but I’m currently without a useable phone number 🥲
Hey there
Thank you,
Tyler
Hey Tyler,
I’m not sure, how do I find out?
I’ve checked the mobile service on the new phone and my old EE phone number is showing as “primary”, I assume that means the PAC transfer has been successful? thanks
Hi
I would advise making a call from the iD Mobile SIM and check what number is showing.
Your EE SIM should disconnect once the number is ported successfully.

Hi
Sorry to hear this, a replacement SIM card can be picked up at any Currys store and activated here or we can assist in sending one out via DPD if you wish.
