I have some issues after switching from Three to iD. My son was struggling to send messages to me using my phone number that I got ported over from Three. None of them come through. I've just sent a text message to him and it came through under the old number that iD originally provided with the SIM card, and not my poetes number. 

 

How can I get this sorted? I have no idea if this is an isolated case or if other people have struggled too.

 

Thanks 

Hi there ​@Tom Hales 

The provisional iD number tends to be retained by the phone when the iD SIM is inserted too early, but this should sort it. Its a fairly common issue:

It has iPhone, Samsung and most other android phones in that order

Hi

my number should have ported yesterday by 10pm but still waiting. 

I have the texts confirming it will move over but not happened in the timeframe 


Hi there ​@StephenDL 

 

The only thing I can suggest is to try restarting the phone, but having said that you should get a text when the port has completed.

 

The only other thing to advise is that ports don’t take place on a weekend (or bank holidays etc) so it may not happen until Monday or Tuesday - you could contact them to see why it didn’t happen

 


Hey there ​@StephenDL, sorry to hear that.

 

Have you tried restarting your phone with the iD Mobile SIM card inside?

 

If still not completed on time, please contact our live-chat:
