I am a new customer and I will now be abroad when my transfer is due to happen. 
will this still go ahead or do I have to be in the uk for this to happen?

thanks.

The number you want to keep will transfer to iD Mobile even if you’re abroad, @Ninx

Your iD SIM might not recognise the transfer happened though, if you’re not using the iD Mobile home network, i.e. not in the UK.

Hey there @Ninx, welcome to Community!

 

Your number will still port over to our network as usual on the date you’ve chosen, but it may not work abroad, as you need to be in the UK for the SIM to begin working correctly.

 

We’d usually advice to complete a port when in the UK to avoid any problems.

 

Thanks,

Tyler
