Recently moved to ID mobile. Did PAC code to bring old number with on purchase. When we try and activate the phone it asks for a sm-DP+address code / initially with a QR code or then manually. From googling it says we should have received a E-sim QR code, which we haven't (we have a real SIM incase that’s useful to know). And when googling/ and asking chat bot how to get a new QR code it says to down load ID mobile app and go to settings. But we can't get into the app as it sends you a text confirmation code and the mobile is not yet activated! Argh! Can't find a support line phone number to call. What do we do?

Hi ​@thisistom,

Thank you for reaching out to us, please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused to you 

Please confirm if the handset that you are using is only compatible with an esim and not a physical sim card?

Thanks,
Hosai
