    Hi ​@MskimboĀ 

    PAC codes can not be used to transfer between plans within iD Mobile or any network. A PAC code is only used to transfer a number to a new network from a current one.Ā 

    You have a few options to deal with this:-

    Call iD Mobile Sales: Contact the sales team at 0800 049 0250Ā as they should be able to help with this.

    OR

    Live Chat: Contact an advisor via Live Chat to discuss this (TheĀ Live Chat team are available 9am - 8pm Monday to Friday,Ā and 9am - 6pm Saturday and Sunday) :-

    Ā https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat

    When you contact the Live Chat :-

    Type ā€˜talk to a person’ in the dialogue box and this will bypass the unhelpful chatbot.Ā 

    Please be patient as the agents handle a few conversations at any one time so there will be a delay in connecting with an available agent and also any replies to your query.

    If the Sales team or Live chat fail to help then cancel BOTH plans and ….
    Perform a Triangle Port:Ā You can move your number out and back in:
    Request a PAC code from iD Mobile using the SIM for your the number you want to keep.
    Port the number to a cheap temporary PAYG SIM on a different network (such as SMARTY who also use the THREE network and have comparable priced SIM only plans).
    Once transferred, purchase your desired new plan with iD Mobile as a brand-new contract.
    Request a PAC code from the temporary network and port your number into your new iD Mobile plan.

    Hope this helps x
