ID mobile app doesnt recognise my phone number

I cannot log into the ID mobile App as it won't recognise my transferred number, only the number that came originally with the phone, so it wants to send the 6 digit verification number to the wrong phone number. 2 live chats, a network restore and a reboot have not solved the problem. How can I get the App to recognise my phone number?

    Hello, 

    i have a similar problem. Switched today from Vodafone and opted to keep my original number. When I log in to the app, it says my details don’t match your records (when adding the number I want to use) and Oops something went wrong when I use the number that came with the eSIM contract. Now not sure what to do. Thank you!
