porting for a secind time


My son has an ID mobile contract that he ported his number too only last month.  He is now going to America for the summer and his contract doesn’t fiver roaming etc and charges are very high with no bolt ons available.  I’m thinking we may be better getting him a suitable sim only deal that will include roaming.  I currently have a sim only deal with Vodafone and I’m out of contract so is it an

option that he gets a new sim only deal and I port my number over to ID contract? Can you port again?

As long as you aren't committed to a contract then you can port any time you like.

 

He may be better off getting a USA sim/esim for his time there.

Hope he has a great summer!

Hi ​@Michgirl,

Welcome to the Community!

Roaming in the USA for a long period can become expensive.

As ​@KeithJ23 advised it may be cheaper getting a local SIM.

Alternatively if it’s for a short time we offer add-ons.
