I have just changed my plan as an upgrade with ID Mobile, but ID Mobile have provided a new number. I want to keep my existing number and I need to make sure the old contract is terminated as well.

Does anyone know what I will need to do?

 

Thanks.

Hi there ​@David Tunmore 

 

A change of plan is completely different to an upgrade.

 

How did you order this as it sounds like you may have taken out another new account. A change of plan doesn’t increase the contract duration and an upgrade (depending on what deal you took) does increase it to a minimum term of 12 months

 

Also you can’t currently move your iD number to another iD account without doing what is known as a triangle port - move your wanted number to another providers service, best via PAYG, and then port your number from that provider back to iD.

Thanks for your reply.. It doesn’t explain any of this on the website, so I will cancel the upgrade and try again when I have more patience!

Yes, you’re not the first one to do this and the site can make things confusing at times.

 

You’re better of using the app or online portal (signed in to either)

 

Then look at the upgrade offers open to you. This should then change the existing plan/deal rather than inadvertently signing up to a new deal

These iD community articles might help.

Hi ​@David Tunmore 

 

It sounds like you’ve purchased a new plan entirely, not processed an upgrade/plan change.

 

We’d recommend returning/cancelling the new plan as soon as possible, we’d recommend using the Live Chat, Facebook or Twitter.

Hi Tom

I spent an hour on the supposed live chat going round in circles. I also cancelled the new plan using the bot, but hav'nt had any confirmation message.

If I get anything physical, I can send it back for a refund apparently!

 

Thanks.

For future reference David, if you start the chat with either speak to human or talk to human it bypasses their automated chat bot.
