Can I keep my current phone number


I have a monthly rolling id mobile account at the moment. On a mobile phone seller's website, I have found a phone that is bundled with a 2 year contract with id mobile. Would I be able to purchase this bundle and keep my current phone number? I can't use a PAC as I'm not porting between two different providers.

You would have to port the iD number you want to keep to another network PAYG and then port it back to the new contract.

It’s not possible to transfer a number from one iD Mobile account to another, but you already know this. So, what exactly are you asking?

Hi ​@Map123 

 

@WelshPaul and ​@MZone are correct, you would need to perform a triangle port method. It involves porting the existing number to a different network (like a PAYG SIM) and then back to iD Mobile on the new account.
