It was better to get a new id contract than to upgrade so I did BUT I have to keep my number. As you cannot swap numbers id to id I had to move my old number to EE PAYG then back to ID. Do I need to register my account with the new number I was given or wait until the number I want is ported over?????
Solved
should I register my new phone BEFORE or AFTER my number is ported over?

+26In theory it shouldn’t matter,
It might be better to register after the number you’re keeping has switched back to your new iD account and everything’s working properly.
