I've been with id mobile for 3 or 4 years on a.monthly phone now...no problems at all.

However I have just upgraded a few days ago but for the first time on sim only…

I've received a new sim card...i installed it yesterday...but it has changed my number ive has for 20 odd years which I was not about and will be very bad news for me and all the contacts I have...ive looked into this on you app and the sms texts you sent yesterday on switching over...it says I need a PAC number to keep my old number....please help asap!

Hi @Rissole61,

We're really sorry to hear this has happened, especially when you've had your number for so many years.

From what you've described, it sounds like a new plan may have been taken out rather than an upgrade, which would explain why you've been sent a new number instead of keeping your existing one, we’ll need to arrange a return for the new plan so that you can upgrade accordingly.

I've just sent you a private message to help get this sorted.

To find it, click your profile picture in the top-right corner and select Private Messages.

You can also use this direct link to your inbox: https://community.idmobile.co.uk/inbox/overview

We'll speak to you there.

Thanks,
