How to transfer your number from iD Mobile to VOXI?

1) Check you’re eligible to switch from iD Mobile

If you’re out of contract with iD Mobile, you’re free to switch network whenever you like and it won’t cost you anything.

In the event that you’re not sure of your contract status, customer support a call on 7777 from your iD Mobile phone. Or you can ring 0333 003 7777 from a landline or any other mobile phone (charges may vary).

Opening hours are 8am-8pm every day of the week.

Don’t want to speak to anyone? You can also find out your contract end date by logging into to your iD Mobile account. Or you can open up the iD Mobile app on your phone and find it there.

And if you’re interested in switching but want a bit more information first, text INFO to 85075.

2) Contact iD Mobile to cancel and get your PAC Code

Next up, you need to get in touch with iD Mobile. To do this, just text PAC to 65075 to get your PAC code. It’s this short, alphanumeric code that will enable you to transfer your existing phone number to the network you want to join. You don't even need to make a phone call.

If you'd prefer to speak to somebody, just ring iD Mobile on one of the numbers in step 1 and tell them you want to leave. While you’re on the phone to them, you also need to ask for your PAC Code.

It’s a legal requirement that networks provide you with a PAC Code within two hours of your request.

The important thing to note, though, is that your PAC Code will expire if it’s not used within 30 days.

If, for whatever reason, you don’t get around to using it in that timeframe you’ll need to contact iD Mobile again to ask for a new one.

3) Find and buy a SIM from VOXI

Right, so you’re sure you’re of contract. The next step is to select a SIM-only deal from VOXI and sign up for it through Uswitch.

VOXI will carry out some credit checks. Once they're out of the way, you’ll receive your SIM card in the post.

4) Contact VOXI to give them your PAC Code

Not long to go now. Your next task is to ring VOXI to tell them your PAC Code.

Get in touch over the phone on 03333 040 191. The call centre’s opening hours are 8am-9pm every day.

5) Insert the VOXI SIM card in your phone

Using a pin-key, open up the SIM tray on the side of your phone and insert your Voxi SIM.

Your number won’t be transferred straightaway. But while you’re waiting, you’ll be given a temporary number, so you’ll still be able to use your phone.

6) Wait for your number to be transferred

The time it takes to transfer a number varies from network to network. But unless a weekend gets in the way, your number transfer should be complete the next working day.

Once that’s done, you’re good to go.
