Hi
I changed my plan March last year and my contract extended for 24months.
I have been with ID since 2015.

Hey @Shady75,

Looks like you upgraded here as opposed to changing plans.
Upgrading to a new contract will carry a new 24-month term (unless stated otherwise).

With upgrades to a new handset plan, you'd receive a handset as part of the contract.

Changing plans simply amends the tariff you are currently on.

Hi @swimmer 24,

If you're just changing your SIM only plan, then they are all just 1 month rolling SIM cards, meaning you can cancel at any time when giving us a 30-day notice period.

When upgrading a handset plan at the end of your minimum term, you would be signing up for another 24-month plan.

Hi @Junebowen 

Are you having trouble logging in?

Please contact our Live Chat team who should be able to assist you with your account.

They’re available between 9am - 8pm Monday to Friday and 9am - 6pm Saturday and Sunday.

Once you land on this page, scroll down to see the Live Chat section. 

The Live Chat button may not always appear as ‘available’. If so, it may be a matter of waiting, until an agent is available, so please be patient.

Once the agent is available the button appears blue, indicating that an agent is available.

No need to refresh the page, this will happen automatically.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks,

Pearl

Hello @Raymond,

Direct Debit needs to be active for the plan change, but you can then cancel this after changing plans if you like?

How do I change from PAYG to having a pay monthly SIM only? My ID app says it is possible (in the help section) but did not tell me how. Please help!

I am on ID PAYG now, but want to keep my number and swap to pay monthly instead.

Hello @torimorg,

It’s not possible to convert from PAYG to PAYM unfortunately.

 

You’ll need to purchase a new PAYM contract. The number can’t be transferred internally, but you can by porting out to a different network, then from that network to iD.

Hi @Daniel.Huxley,

 

If you upgrade the line, the current tariff will stop and the new one will take its place. If you take out a new line, you’ll have two lines, so be sure to process the upgrade or tariff change.

Hi Will, 

What do you mean by ‘line’?

Hi @Daniel.Huxley,

 

By “line” I’m referring to your telephone line that you have with us.

 

Does that clear things up?

I am currently on an unlimited data plan (SIM only), and by billing period runs until 7th June. I would like to switch to a cheaper plan for next month onwards. If I change my plan on the app now, will this only activate on the 7th June, once my current plan has ended, or will it start immediately and mean that I lose my unlimited data for this month? I don’t want to accidentally lose any money by setting up the new plan in advance.

Hey @Ellen R, plan changes take effect within 24 hours, so I’d wait until the start of your next billing period.

 

Thank you,

Rory
