Ordered two new SIMS for each of my daughters. Input the transaction code, PAC Code and relevant phone numbers for the first SIM with no problems.

Second SIM I did exactly the same with all relevant details and I keep getting error messages. I have double checked the information I have input and all is accurate. How can I proceed?

Is the PAC different for each daughter, ​@Steve Way?

If your old provider gave you a single PAC for your daughters' numbers, iD can’t process that online.

Maybe best to use the iD online web chat service to submit your PAC.

The iD customer advisers work until 8pm on weekdays (6pm at weekends) - the iD chatbot works 24/7.

Hi ​@Steve Way 

 

Have you received two different PAC codes for each number?

Thanks for both replies. Yes, two different PAC codes….first one submitted with no problem but second one giving error messages.

However, I did manage to resolve this by chatting directly to someone at ID Mobile who confirmed the second PAC was now submitted and double-checked that it was assigned to the correct mobile number.

ID Mobile don’t make it easy to interact with a human - very frustrating trying to interact with a BOT with their limited and inappropriate options. I managed to get through to a human by typing ‘Speak to a human’ in the Chat option.

Hopefully all sorted, but have to wait until Monday to make sure the mobile number transfer has taken place - fingers crossed.
