Hi I have my mobile number I have had for years and have the £10 SIM card deal with this number on it but now I have signed a contract for a new phone and it’s £30 per month but has a new number. Both with ID mobile. So what I’m asking how to I switch my phone number from the £10 sim to the contract so I can cancel my £10 sim and run only with my contract. lol hope that makes sense. 🙏
Change me number between 2 accounts

Hi there
The only workaround is a triangle port, which I’ll explain how to do here:
Unfortunately, it isn't possible to move a number directly from one iD Mobile account to another iD Mobile account. We'd require a PAC code from another network to move a number to an account.
In this case, you may be able to try the following triangle port method;
1) Get a PAC code for the number you wish to keep.
2) Purchase a Pay As You Go (PAYG) SIM from any OTHER network.
3) Give your PAC code to the new PAYG SIM provider to transfer your number from iD Mobile to the PAYG network.
4) Once it's been transferred over, this sends your number to the new network on PAYG and cancels your old contract with us automatically, the final bill will be sent via email.
5) Once the number has fully transferred to the PAYG network allow 24 hours and then request a PAC code from them.
6) Transfer your number to the new iD Mobile plan via
PAC code at the link below, once the transfer is fully complete your PAYG SIM will be disconnected and the desired number will be on the new iD Mobile account.

Note; With a new iD Mobile account, you'll need to register a new iD Mobile app/website account to using an email address that hasn't been used previously to register.
Thanks,
