Hi, I have asked IDmobile to tranfer my Vodafone number (via PAC code).
I have lost network with Vodafone and I have entered my new sim into my mobile
but I have no network with IDmobile either.
I made the request today and understand that the switch will take place tomorrow however,
I thought I would still have access to my mobile and thought it would only be a momentarily loss
of network?
Thanks

Hi
I am sorry to hear about the loss of signal during the porting process. It is true that there can sometimes be disruption whilst the port completes, however we would expect some level of coverage to still be available to the iD SIM card in the meantime.
Have you checked your coverage using our Coverage Checker (found here) to see if there are any problems affecting your area?

Hi Ryan
Thank you for your reply. I have checked the Coverage Checker and there are no problems,
I even took the phone with me to hospital yesterday hoping that the phone would connect. (No Joy)
Still waiting for connection 18th January 2020.
Any ideas?
Thanks
David
Hello David,
When did you submit the port to us?
Have you tried restarting your handset?
Can you please try ringing both the number you are keeping and the number you were given by iD Mobile on the SIM (temporary number).
What happens?
Mohammed
Hi Mohammed
Thank you for your reply.
Port was submitted last Thursday 16th Jan.
I have checked my Vodafone account online yesterday and the account has been successfully closed.
When my number is dialed, the number goes straight to voicemail (prerecorded man and woman’s voice message) doesn’t state who the provider is?
The (temporary number) given to me by IDMobile is now not recognised.
I have tried restarting handset to no avail?
Regards
David

Hello. I requested that my existing telephone number be ported over to iD via a PAC, yesterday. I currently have no service. Could you confirm when service will be set up?
Thank you.
Thanks Mohammed
Yes, mark it as resolved I am using my wife’s phone when she get home for work and I have notified
my family and friends that my current number is out of action for the time being.

Hello
Your port should complete by tonight. If you could try restarting your handset to allow this to take effect.

Hi
Does IDmobile operate a 2G network?
Thanks
Hello
It’s 3G minimum so 2G devices will not work.
Mohammed
Thank you Mohammed
I don’t think there is 4G coverage in my area and it looks like there is only outdoor 3G coverage?
I think I have got the answer.

David
