Hi
I an due to transfer over to iD mobile today from 3.
My 3 sim stopped working about 3 hours ago. I’ve put the iD sim in my phone but it is showing the number that came with the sim card and not my number I want to transfer over.
It’s also letting me use mobile date & whatsapp. Is this normal? Will my number be transfered over at some point today?
Many thanks

My suggestion would be:
