I'm out of contract tomorrow and have found a deal with IDmobile via USwitch. Ideally though I'd just upgrade through the IDmobile app, but the exact same phone is not offered on the same tariff/price. Can I request PAC and give to IDmobile assuming I buy via USwitch, even if I'm already with IDmobile? Thanks
You can’t use a PAC to directly switch a number from one iD account to another iD account,
A PAC is only valid for switching a number from one service provider to a different service provider.

Thanks for sharing
Have you ever done a ‘double-port’
Thanks
- If I ask iD for a PAC today (Tuesday), and use the PAC before 5pm today, my number would switch tomorrow (Wednesday).
Most UK networks can’t issue a PAC until the day after your port is completed. - Next step - I get a PAC from my new provider, for the number I’m keeping, on Thursday, and then submit my new PAC to iD on Thursday, before 5pm.
- 4-days later, finally back with iD on Friday some time before 10pm.
