It seems you’ve bought a new plan instead of upgrading your current one. To keep your existing number you’ll need to return or cancel the new plan and upgrade your current one.

Hi @Mgspeed,

If you've been given a different number, the next steps will depend on how your new plan was set up.

If you're new to iD Mobile and transferring a number from another network, you'll need to provide a PAC code from your previous provider so your existing number can be transferred across.

If you were already with iD Mobile and have taken out a new iD Mobile contract instead of upgrading, unfortunately iD Mobile doesn't support internal number transfers. This means we wouldn't be able to move your old iD Mobile number onto the new iD Mobile plan.

In that situation, we'd recommend contacting the point of sale to discuss returning the new plan, if eligible, and then contacting our Sales Team to upgrade your existing plan correctly so you can keep your number: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat
