iD Mobile

What we know about iD Mobile — written independently, not by iD Mobile itself.

Worth knowing: this page isn't run by iD Mobile or its parent company. For anything account-specific, you'd need to go through iD Mobile's own channels.

By Design

iD Mobile rides on Three's network and belongs entirely to Currys plc. It's built a reputation on two things: roaming that stretches further than most piggyback networks bother with, and a promise not to lift SIM only prices with inflation.

Plans on offer

A handful of SIM only tiers, plus a notable pledge.

  • No CPI- or RPI-linked rises on SIM only plans, written into iD's own terms
  • Unused data carries over one month, on plans where it's offered
  • Sold both directly and through Currys stores

Signal and speed

Borrowed entirely from Three's network.

  • 4G and 5G match Three's coverage exactly, postcode for postcode
  • Doesn't appear separately in independent rankings — it's Three's signal underneath
  • Indirectly affected by Three's new speed limits on fresh sign-ups

Going abroad

Wider than most piggyback networks attempt.

  • Up to 50 destinations on the higher-tier plans
  • 30GB fair-use data while you're roaming
  • A genuinely broader reach than most EU-only rivals offer

Moving on or in

Same Ofcom rules as everywhere else.

  • PAC to 65075 keeps your number when you leave
  • INFO to 85075 checks your current term first
  • Currys stores can help in person if you'd rather not do it remotely
A quick note on who we are: neylscout (neylscout.online) is run by independent researchers, not by any mobile network. We write about Three, O2, EE, Tesco Mobile, Vodafone, Sky Mobile, and iD Mobile because people ask us about them — none of these companies sponsor us, pay us, or have any say in what we publish. We are not a reseller and we never sell airtime, SIMs, or contracts through this site, and you won't find a single price on these pages, because prices move too often for us to keep accurate. If you ring the number on this site or fill in our form, you'll reach our own small team — never a network's official support desk, and never anyone able to touch your account. Every brand name and logo colour you see here belongs to the company it names; we use them only so you can tell which network a page is about, not to suggest any partnership. Treat everything here as a starting point for your own research, and check the final word with the network directly before you commit to anything.
