Can't log into the iD app or website with new pay monthly SIM only account

Hi, hopefully somebody will be able to help me out. I have recently moved my son’s mobile number over from his previous carrier to iD, as I’ve been using it myself for a while now and am pleased with it. I got the PAC from the previous carrier, set him up with an iD account using his own email address and a password which I’ve got here, gave the PAC to iD and asked for it to port on 12th December (today) and everything seemed fine. The SIM arrived in the post and I put it to one side. I wasn’t able to log into the website or app with his new account prior to today as it wanted an iD mobile number, and I thought I would just have to wait until the port happened before I could log in.

 

The port has taken place today as requested, I’ve put the SIM into his mobile, he has retained his mobile number from the old carrier, and it works fine - he can make/receive calls and use data. But I still cannot log into the website or the app with his account details. The username and password seem to be correct because it says “Success! You're all set, all we need now is your iD Mobile number.” But when I enter the number, his surname and the date of birth it says “Sorry, your details do not match our records”.

 

I’m pretty sure that I’m entering the correct details and have tried it many times but the result is always the same. I’ve tried my own DOB as well as his in case I set it up incorrectly but both dates are rejected. 

 

So in brief, I want to log into his account but it won’t let me unless I add an iD mobile number, and when I try to do that it gets rejected. Is there something I’m doing wrong, maybe?

 

Thanks!

Hey there ​@Layna_Cable, sorry to hear that.

 

Have you registered the account with us via the iD Mobile app/website? 

 

If the port has completed, you can register with the ported-in number. If not, you will only be able to use the iD number in the mean-time. If the port has only just completed today, I’d recommend giving it 24-hours, then try registering again with the ported-in number, and should work fine then :)

 

Thanks,

Tyler

Thanks Tyler,

 

It magically started working a little while after I posted on here, so I think it was just a case of me needing to be more patient and wait longer. I’ve been able to sign into my son’s account now and can see his plan there, etc.

 

Many thanks!
