Switch to iD Mobile

Switching is as easy as 1–2–3!

Let’s get started.

When you switch to iD Mobile, you can choose to keep your current number or get a new one. We’ll also notify your previous network to close your account, so you won’t be charged for two plans.

Switching is as easy as 1-2-3.

1

Request a PAC.

Using your SIM from your previous network, text PAC to 65075. This PAC will be valid for 30 days.

2

Give us your PAC.

Select ‘Switch now’ to begin. You'll also need your Transaction Number from your ‘Welcome to iD’ email.

Tip: Your Transaction Number starts with a 4!

We'll sort the rest.

Sit tight – we'll switch your number to your iD Mobile plan on your chosen date.

When you give us your PAC, we can switch your number to iD Mobile by 10pm on the next working day.
