I recently upgraded, received my new phone, swapped over my sim card as it said I could put my old one in my new phone and the contract would swap it over.

I have now had my new phone for 2 or more weeks and the payment for me new contact had come out and also the payment of my old contract had come out too. So I am not sure what to do?

Hi @Sophie Pimm 

 

Are you sure in this case you’ve made an upgrade? If you’ve received two separate bills it sounds like you’ve instead ordered an entirely new contract alongside the current one, as long as you’re within your returns period I’d recommend returning the new order and placing an upgrade on your already existing account, be sure to log in or register if you haven’t already.

Sounds like you’ve purchased a second iD plan instead of ordering an upgrade for your existing iD plan, which is why there are two payments for your two mobile numbers.

If you don’t want two iD plans, you’ll need to cancel the iD plan you won’t be keeping.

Good luck @Sophie Pimm.

So @Sophie Pimm, that’ll depend on which iD plan you decided to keep.

Did you return the new phone?

Okay @Sophie Pimm, whatever mobile number was attached to your old iD plan will be reallocated by iD when the plan is cancelled.

So my number will stay the same?

Also was I suppose to put the new SIM card they sent me with my new phone in my new phone? I thought they originally said I could keep my old SIM card?

You will lose your mobile number when you cancel a plan by giving iD 30-days notice.

If you want to keep your mobile number, then you need to upgrade your old iD plan by following exactly the procedures in the following community articles:

If you did not follow these procedures exactly, you might lose the mobile number you wanted to keep.

You might still have time to cancel your cancellation request - good luck @Sophie Pimm.
