Can't register ID Mobile app - one time passcode goes to old number

Hi, I can’t find a human to help me here.  I have just joined ID Mobile and transferred my old phone number using PUK etc.  So now my original ID Mobile number is gone and I can’t receive phone calls or texts to that number (and I don’t want to).  The problem is that I want to set up my account with ID Mobile and that requires a one time passcode to be sent to the original number (that doesn’t work).  Can someone in ID Mobile send the OTP to my new number?

So it just turned out I had to wait another few hours before the change happened in the system.  The one time code now gets sent to the new number.  Problem solved.

Hi ​@AdamH27 

 

Glad to hear this has been sorted.

 

If registering to the iD Mobile app during a transfer, it may be worth waiting until the transfer fully completes (or registering before doing any transfer) as the system on the app might update the number a bit later.
