Using SIM card for car charger


I have taken delivery of a ID mobile sim card to use in my car charger, rather than a mobile phone.  I’m trying to set up the app and get to the part that a code has been sent to my new ID mobile number via text.  But I don’t have the card in a phone so can’t receive the text - how do I get round this?  Thanks

Hi @AngelaP1066,

Welcome to the Community!

In order to receive the code please insert the SIM into a handset.

Codes need to be sent to the SIM for verification and security reasons.

Maybe put the iD SIM card in a phone, @AngelaP1066

Just to let you know, iD Mobile only support use of their SIM cards in mobile phones.

Many thanks for your responses.  👍 Always a learning curve!  I did end up putting the SIM into a phone just to get the code.  I’ve since had the SIM put in the car charging unit and I’m pleased to report that it works 😀
