I'm an existing customer and a university student. I want to move to the student deal listed on your website, but it's not showing in my app. Can you apply that deal to my existing account so I don't have to leave the network to keep my number?"

    Hi ​@Mah06, 

     

    Thank you for reaching out, and congratulations on being a university student. I completely understand why you'd like to take advantage of the student offer while keeping your existing iD Mobile number.

     

    The student promotion is accessed through UNiDAYS, so if the offer isn't showing in your iD Mobile app, we'd recommend visiting the iD Mobile offer page on UNiDAYS and verifying your UNiDAYS membership first.

    Once you've verified your membership, you can access the promotion and check the offer terms and eligibility. Please note that student offers are subject to the specific promotion terms and availability, so we can't guarantee that the offer can be applied directly to an existing iD Mobile account.

     

    If the student offer is only available when taking out a new contract, taking out a separate new iD Mobile account would give you a different mobile number, as we don't support transferring a number internally between two iD Mobile accounts.

     

    If you'd like to keep your existing number, we'd recommend contacting our Sales Team via Live Chat or by calling 0800 049 0250. They can check your account and confirm whether there's an eligible student or SIM-only upgrade option available to you.

     

    We appreciate that you'd like to remain with iD Mobile and keep your existing number, and we hope we can help you find a suitable option.
