Hi I'm on the last month of my pay monthly contract and want a new number. Is it possible to stay with id and purchase a new monthly SIM only with a different number then I'm on? I've read articles about paying £25 to change the number but given that my contract is ending, I'm wondering if it'll save me the money by doing it this way. I had been thinking about a new phone but oh well, it can wait.

    Hi ​@hulmedawn,

     

    Thank you for getting in touch.

     

    I can confirm that this is an option. You can take out a new plan with a new number and then cancel your current plan if you’d prefer not to pay the £25.00 fee for a number change.

     

    If you decide to go ahead and need any guidance with the process, feel free to reach out, either on here or via live chat, https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat, we’re happy to help!
