Question

STAC code

Hi,

a previous provider has given me a STAC code. They say that you can use it to cancel that account, even though I have already opened my ID account? Is that correct and how do I use it? Thanks

I have a STAC code also and have already requested a physical sim what do I do with the STAC code when waiting for the sim to arrive with a new number?

Hi ​@Mullac1998,

 

Once you've received and activated your SIM, you can register your account and submit your STAC code through your iD Mobile account.

 

To do this:

  1. Sign in to the iD Mobile app or your online account.
  2. Select the option to switch to iD Mobile.
  3. Choose to use a STAC code.
  4. Enter the STAC code exactly as provided by your previous network.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to submit the request.

 

Your current temporary iD Mobile number will then be disconnected and your account will continue on the new SIM with a different iD Mobile number assigned.

 

If you're unable to see the STAC option once the SIM arrives and is activated, please let us know and we'll be happy to help further.
