iD Mobile logo
4.4 / 5

Our verdict: some of the best value SIM-only plans around, with fixed prices, free Data Rollover and roaming included in 50 destinations. Just check your destination first: roaming outside the included list is expensive.

What we like

  • No annual price rises on SIM-only plans
  • Big data for little money: 100GB from £10 a month
  • Free Data Rollover on every plan
  • Roaming included in 50 destinations, up to 30GB
  • Monthly rolling plans as well as 12 and 24 months

Things to know

  • Roaming outside the included destinations is very expensive
  • Switzerland, Turkey, the USA and Andorra aren't included
  • Phone contracts rise £1.80 a month each April (SIM-only plans don't)
  • Coverage depends on one network, so check your area

Who is iD Mobile?

iD Mobile is the mobile network brought to you by Currys, and says it has more than 2.5 million subscribers. It doesn't own masts: it runs on the network formed by the VodafoneThree merger, and quotes 99% UK population 4G coverage based on the Three network. It also has coverage across 131 parts of the London Underground, including 59 stations.

iD says it has been recognised for great value by Which? in 2023, 2024 and 2025, and has won awards from Uswitch and Trusted Reviews, including Trusted Reviews' Best Network for Roaming in 2024 and 2025.

Price and plans

Every plan has unlimited minutes and texts. The longer you commit, the more data you get for the same price. These are iD's own prices on 3 November 2026.

Unlimited£20£17£17

The sweet spot for most people is the 1-month 100GB plan at £12. That's more data than most people use, and you can leave or change plan any month. If you're happy to commit, the 24-month 100GB plan costs £10. Not sure how much you need? Try our data usage calculator.

The big selling point is that SIM-only prices don't go up each April, unlike many networks. The price you sign up at is the price you pay. This applies to SIM-only plans: iD's phone contracts do rise, by a fixed £1.80 a month each April.

Features

Roaming: check before you travel

iD's included roaming is generous in its 50 destinations, which include Spain and other popular European countries. Outside that list, iD charges pay-as-you-go rates, and they add up fast. On 3 November 2026, iD's roaming checker listed these data prices for pay monthly customers:

DestinationDataCalls to the UK
SpainIncluded (up to 30GB)Included
USA30p per MB£1.68 a minute
Switzerland£1.50 per MB£2.40 a minute
Turkey£1.50 per MBCharged
Andorra£9.60 per MB£6 a minute

At those rates, even a few minutes of maps or social media could cost more than a month's plan. If you're heading somewhere that isn't included, turn data roaming off and use a travel eSIM instead. Andorra eSIMs start from £5.92 and Switzerland from £3.34. See how to turn off data roaming and our ski holiday roaming guide.

Phones on iD Mobile

iD also sells phones on contract, and you'll find its deals alongside SIM-free prices on our phone pages, such as the iPhone 17. Phone contracts go up by a fixed £1.80 a month each April, and our total costs include those rises. Compare the total cost: buying a phone outright and adding an iD SIM-only plan often works out cheaper.

Who is iD Mobile best for?

Anyone who wants lots of data for a low, fixed price, especially if you holiday in Europe. The 1-month plans suit anyone who wants to stay flexible. If you often travel to the USA, Switzerland or Turkey, budget for a travel eSIM, or compare 1pMobile and our other SIM-only deals.
