iD SIM Only Deals

Why choose an iD Mobile SIM Only deal?

iD Mobile has a perk that you won’t find on many other networks – namely data rollover, which means that if you don’t use all your data one month, the remainder will roll over to the next month, giving you a second chance to use it, and this feature comes as standard on all iD Mobile’s SIM Only plans.

Beyond that, all iD Mobile SIM Only plans come with 5G as standard, as well as unlimited minutes and texts, and while data allowances vary, you can get up to unlimited data – in which case you won’t even need data rollover.

iD Mobile’s SIM Only plans also offer free roaming abroad in 50 destinations, as well as letting you use 4G Calling, Wi-Fi Calling, and allowing you to tether, so you can use your mobile data to get other devices online.

iD Mobile gives you the choice of a 30-day, 12-month, or 24-month SIM Only plan, so there are lots of options, and its plans are competitively priced as well.

Is iD Mobile a good network?

Yes, iD Mobile is a good network, for a number of reasons. For one thing, iD Mobile uses Three’s infrastructure and signal, meaning that it has coverage in all the same places. At the time of writing, Three has over 99% UK population coverage with 4G, and over 60% outdoor coverage with 5G, which means its coverage is up there with the best in the UK for both technologies, and iD Mobile’s coverage is the same.

iD Mobile should also offer similar speeds to Three, and that’s good news too, because an Opensignal report from September 2024 found that Three’s average 5G download speed was higher than EE’s, Vodafone’s, or O2’s, at 208.9Mbps. Its median 5G download speed was also found to be the highest in a 2024 RootMetrics report, and most other recent reports have similarly put Three in the lead.

So Three is the UK’s fastest 5G network, which essentially means that iD Mobile is as well.

And iD Mobile seems well liked by customers too, as an Ofcom report from 2023 found that just 4% of customers had a reason to complain about the network, which is well below the industry average of 12%.

Can I keep my number when switching to iD Mobile?

Yes, you can keep your number when switching to iD Mobile, and it’s a straightforward process. First, text the word ‘PAC’ to 65075 from the number you want to keep, and you’ll be sent a PAC (Porting Authorisation Code) in reply.

Next, place an order for an iD Mobile SIM Only plan, and you’ll be able to give iD Mobile your PAC code at the checkout. Once they have that, they’ll arrange for your old number to be transferred.

If you already have an iD Mobile SIM card and number then – assuming your old mobile account is still active – you can still transfer your number by heading to iD Mobile’s number transfer page and entering your PAC code there.

Can I get unlimited data on iD Mobile?

Yes, iD Mobile’s plans come with up to unlimited data, and you can get unlimited data whether you pick a 30-day, 12-month, or 24-month plan.

It’s truly unlimited too in the UK, with no fair usage policy, though there is a 30GB fair usage limit when roaming.
