Hi ​@joobers50 

Did you change the plan by via your account?

‘If you're upgrading your existing iD Mobile plan to a SIM-only plan, your number should be retained automatically, as long as you do it through the "Upgrades" section on the iD Mobile website or app, or by contacting their sales team.’

If the option to upgrade to a SIM only plan is not available via the instructions above, then this means that you have probably purchased a new plan and hence why there is a new number and you will now be paying for BOTH plans, so effectively you have two iD plans. 
 



It also means that the original plan/number is still active and can be upgraded through the account linked to it:-



If you did upgrade via the account and a different number is still showing, your best option is to contact the Live Chat:-

Type ‘talk to a person’ in the dialogue box to connect to an adviser.

Hope this helps x

    Hi ​@joobers50 

     

    I’d recommend the above from ​@Decembersangel72 here, it sounds like you may not have upgraded but instead purchased a new plan.

     

    Thanks for the help here ​@Decembersangel72.
