No Esim set up

I was not sent an E sim for my package. I contacted you a few weeks ago and you told me my phone PAC switch had not been completed on your end. I received confirmation that it was “done”. However I never received an ESIM and don’t see ID mobile as a network when looking in the settings at network providers.

Hi ​@SFerdinand 

If your previous network SIM/ESIM still works then this means that the PAC code submitted to iD Mobile was unsuccessful in swapping you over. You’ll not see iD Mobile in your phones settings as you won’t have connection to the network until the switch has been completed.
If the PAC code given to you by your old network was within the last 30 days then you can re-submit it. If it outside of the 30 days then you can request a new one from them.

To check if your iD Mobile account and plan are live:-
Checking Online or via the App:
Log in to the iD Mobile app or visit the online dashboard.
Go to the Home or Plan section.
Look for your active allowances (data, minutes, and texts) or contract status to confirm the account is fully live.

If you are still having problems then your best option is to contact an advisor via Live Chat to discuss this (The Live Chat team are available 9am - 8pm Monday to Friday, and 9am - 6pm Saturday and Sunday) :-

When you contact the Live Chat :-

Type ‘talk to a person’ in the dialogue box and this will bypass the unhelpful chatbot. 

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.
 

You can also contact iD Mobile by sending a private message via their Socials (Facebook, X or Instagram)  

iD Mobile social media accounts:-


or email socialqueries@idmobile.co.uk.

Good luck x
