I am trying to change my plan to a sim only contract. When I go to purchase it it comes up with a comment saying I do not have an email attached to my account and that I need to add an email. When I go to do this my email is already there. 
 

please can someone sort this so I can change my plan. 
 

thanks,

 

Alexia

Hi ​@Alexiasoph
 

Thank you for reaching out, and I’m sorry for the frustration this issue is causing I understand you just want to proceed with changing your plan.

 

This message can sometimes appear if the system is not recognising the email correctly on the account, even if it looks like it’s already there. To get this resolved, we’ll need to check and update the details directly on your account if required.

 

Please contact our team via Live Chat so we can securely access your account and fix this for you:

Once updated, you should be able to proceed with the SIM-only plan without any issues.

 

Thanks for your patience, and we’ll get this sorted for you as quickly as possible.

Hi ​@Pete1708,

 

Thanks for your post.

 

You'll usually be able to switch to a SIM-only plan around 24 days before your current plan ends.

 

If you're not sure when your plan is due to end, or whether you're already eligible to make the change, please contact our Customer Service Team via Live Chat: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat

 

If you're eligible, the Customer Service Team will be able to transfer you to our Sales Team, who can discuss the SIM-only options available and help you make the switch.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Regards,
