Hello.

I have been with Id mobile for a year on a sim only 12 month contract. I recently got a new sim only deal through moneysavingexpert.com which isn’t a direct upgrade through iD. 
I need to transfer my phone number to my new iD sim. 
my question is.. is it just a case of requesting a PAC from my old iD sim and sending it to iD from my new iD sim?

You can’t port from iD to iD. You would need to port the number you want to keep to another network PAYG SIM (ASDA & Three are popular). Once that is done you would need to request another PAC code from the new network and then give this to iD to port your number back. It’s called a double port.
