Hi ​@ZacPar5

 

Thank you for getting in touch. 

 

Kindly be advised that if you already have an existing iD Mobile plan and you took out a new iD Mobile plan from our website or from a third party website, it's not classed as an upgrade. It's simply treated as a new plan, even if you're eligible for an upgrade. You'll also be unable to keep your existing iD mobile number in this way as we are unable to transfer plans and mobile numbers across internally.

 

This will mean you have two mobile numbers and two contracts active with two payments monthly or you may keep the new contract and cancel the old contract however,  you will have a new mobile number.

 

Thanks, 

 

Anneline

Thanks for this information and I had cancel the present plan and also cancelled the new plans and direct debit because you could not transfer the present number internally which is surprising.

Hi Anneline,

I had received the new plan sim ordered. But I have not opened and I will return it back as it is or advise what to do. I have cancelled the direct debit. So you also please cancel from your end.

Many thanks,

Zacharias Parambi

Hi ​@ZacPar5 

 

Thank you for getting in touch with us. 

We wouldn't recommend cancelling your Direct Debit at this stage, as this could result in missed payments being recorded while your account is still active.

Please send us a private message via our socials (Facebook or Instagram) so we can process the return from our end and ensure everything is handled correctly. Once the return has been completed, we'll be able to advise you on any next steps regarding your plan and billing.

 

Thank you,

Hi Zandile,

My present direct debit is active. But the new one started only I cancelled because I am sending back the sim as it is. Because you cannot take two payments as my present contract ends only on 14th August and.

Many thanks,

Zacharias Parambi
