Hello @ep77,

If you’ve ordered a brand new SIM-only plan, this will become active when dispatched.

So you’re already paying for 2 plans.

It’s not possible to transfer the iD number from one plan to another, so your number will also be lost when cancelling the old plan.

 

If however, you upgraded the old contract onto a SIM-only plan (which you can do from your My Account/My iD app in the last 20-days), you’ll simply be moved to a SIM-only plan, keep your number and only pay for 1 contract.
