To keep your number, request a PAC code from O2 and give it to iD Mobile.
You can usually give iD Mobile your PAC code when you order, or after your new SIM card or eSIM has been activated.
1. Request a PAC code from O2
Here is how to get your PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) from O2:
- Text: Text "PAC" to 65075 from your O2 phone. You will get a text back with your code within a minute. This is a free service from Ofcom (the UK's communications regulator). If you have multiple numbers on your account or an Apple Watch plan, the text service will not work: use My O2 or call instead.
- Online: Log in to My O2 and request your PAC code from your account.
- Phone: Call 202 from your O2 phone or 0344 809 0202 from any other phone.
- In-store: Visit an O2 store and request to leave.
2. Order a SIM only deal from iD Mobile
If you have not ordered yet, compare current iD Mobile SIM only deals below.

If you already have your new SIM, continue to Step 3.
If iD Mobile asks for your PAC code during checkout, enter it there. If not, wait for your new SIM or eSIM to activate, then give iD Mobile the PAC code using the method below.
iD Mobile includes free data rollover on all pay monthly plans, carrying unused data into the next month.
iD Mobile offers eSIMs, so you can switch without waiting for a physical SIM to arrive.
3. Give the PAC code to iD Mobile
Once you have your PAC code, here is how to give it to iD Mobile:
- Online: Enter your PAC code at checkout when you order, or fill in iD Mobile's number transfer form once your new SIM is active.
- Live chat: Contact iD Mobile's live chat team through the Help and Support page.
4. Wait for your number transfer to iD Mobile to complete
iD Mobile will send the transfer request to O2.
Your number should move to your new iD Mobile SIM within 1 to 2 working days.
