Email change

Hi, I'm trying to change the email associated with my ID mobile account, but the system needs to send a text with a code to my phone number. My problem is, I do not have a phone for the number as the SIM is used for data only in a router. Is there another way to request a code e.g. to my original email address then another to my new email. I cannot plug the SIM into a phone easily as the router is 70 miles away. Cheers Ken

    Hi ​@Ken Roper ,

    I am so sorry however our sim cards are for phones so to receive the code you have to insert it into a smartphone. You can just insert it for few seconds to receive the code and just pop it back into the router.

    Thanks,

    Hi Isa, thank you for your rapid reply, not the answer I was hoping for, but now I know this is the only way, I will take an old phone with me next time I go to Wales and do as you suggest.

    Cheers Ken

    Go into your Router settings; most have a section in the settings for receiving + sending texts.

    Text option on my current TP Link router, and previous Huawei.
