    number transfer issue

    Hi all, I switched from O2 to id mobile in November last year. Did everything correctly and for my PAC code and got all the relevant messages from ID as to status updates on the number switch. After all had been completed there are still a few people who are not able to call me. Mainly my wife aiming a few others. My contract finally got terminated with O2 a month or so ago due to a technical hitch with a backdated order. Can I still get a PAC code from O2 and give to I'd obile to get the final missing part of the swap completed? What should I do?

    Why does my bill look different after an Upgrade or a Plan Change (Pro Rata)?

    When you change your plan or upgrade, your bill might look a little different. Here’s why: How is my bill calculated after I change plan or upgrade? As with most networks, we bill your monthly line rental in advance. If you change your plan or upgrade, you’ll have paid for a whole month on your old plan, but only used it for part of the month. The cost for both your old and new plan is calculated on a pro-rata basis (so you’ll only pay for the days you used each plan). You’ll keep the total allowances (like data, minutes, and texts) from your old plan and also get the pro-rated allowances from your new plan starting immediately. Example. Please note: This is an example bill, your bill may look different. Let’s say your billing month runs from the 18th of October and ends on the 17th of November. On the 31st October, you decide to change your plan or upgrade. We’ll bill you for the number of days on your current plan (18th October to 31st October). We’ll credit you for the number of unu

    New phone - switch hasn't occured

    Hi, I bought a new phone from Carphone warehouse - Google pixel 9. I was on the Three network, and I gave over the code to keep my number, when I took out the contract. The switch was supposed to happen on Tuesday. On Wednesday morning (today) 10am I received an email saying the switch had been completed. I didn't receive a new SIM, so assumed my old one would work in this phone. But I have no service. It says, emergency calls only. I've tried upwards of 20 times to speak to someone on the chat function and it says 'sorry I can't chat right now' each time I try to get transferred to an agent. I can't access the app either because it's trying to send me a text and I can't receive it. Any advice? Thanks, Leigh

    Issue with SMS and making some calls

    I've recently joined Id mobile and ported my number over from previous network via PAC code over a week ago. When I send SMS Messages the recipients receive the text from the number I was assigned when I took out the contract, therefore, I ain't receiving a response. I do receive messages if sent directly to my number (orginial brought over number). I have also noticed that I can't call a number that is on a sky contract. It starts with 074 but keeps saying number is invalid. Why is this? Never had any issues with previous provider. The number is not invalid as they are able to contact me.

    Replacement SIM Not Activated After 2 Days

    I recently returned from holiday, during which I lost my SIM card abroad. Upon returning, I visited Currys and picked up a replacement SIM. I followed the registration steps, and the notification indicated my SIM would be active within 30 minutes. However, it has now been over two days and my SIM is still not working. After multiple attempts, I finally managed to speak with an ID Mobile chat agent, but they were unable to access my account due to ongoing external technical issues on your side. Could someone please assist me in getting my replacement SIM activated as soon as possible? I urgently need mobile service restored. Thank you for your help. Kind regards, Arslan

    HELP!

    Hi everyone, Hoping someone here can help or offer advice because I’m really stuck. I ordered two phones from iD Mobile on separate contracts — a Samsung Flip and an iPhone 16. I used the same PAC code on both because I knew I wanted to keep my number but wasn’t sure which phone I’d end up keeping. Here’s what happened: The Samsung Flip (original iD number: ) was returned first and never used. I kept the iPhone 16 (original iD number: ), but due to some kind of error, that contract got disconnected and switched to Pay As You Go — even though the Flip contract, which should’ve been cancelled, remained active. I’ve now returned the iPhone too (with proof of return for both devices — Flip returned via DPD and iPhone returned in-store today). After spending over 5 hours in-store, I was told there’s nothing they can do to reactivate the iPhone contract. At this point, I just want to make sure both contracts are fully cancelled. I feel like I’ve been going in circles and I’m not getting anyw
