A number from old contract 5 years ago showing in app. I used existing email and pword. New sim is not showing in app. Any way round this?

Did you transfer your number to iD Mobile this time @harpmandoodle?

From the few details posted, it sounds like you ‘old’ iD account might never have have been cancelled.

Ni  I have not transfered a number this time. Yes, it looks like it should have been cancelled. Had I known  I'd have started a new account. Thing is  my email address is same as 5 years ago, so I logged in with it. Can't find how to contact re:new sim number now.

Your new iD SIM card is already active and ready to use.
If you call or text, a friend or family member, you can get your iD mobile number by asking them - good luck @harpmandoodle

I know my new number  it's in the opening emails to me. What are you saying I do with it being known? Contacting someone? Who? How?

Okay @harpmandoodle, the options for getting assistance with your iD online account are: use the online iD live chat service; or contact iD Mobile privately using Facebook Messenger, or on Twitter using a direct message.

The support teams work until 8pm on weekdays.
