2. Structure of this Agreement
2.1 This Agreement covers the Services. It does not cover anything else you might buy from us.
3. Duration
3.1 This Agreement will continue for the Minimum Period and will continue to apply after that unless and until either you or we terminate it in accordance with Clause 8 below or otherwise in accordance with a right expressly set out in this Agreement.
3.2 If you take an Upgrade from us, this will start a new Minimum Period running, and this may end later than the end of the previous Minimum Period.
4. Provision of the Services
4.1 The Services may not be available in all parts of the United Kingdom or abroad. You may not be able to use the Services which we agree to provide to you to call all countries or all international numbers. Unless otherwise agreed, the Services do not include call divert or call waiting. We reserve the right to add to, substitute, or discontinue any Additional Services at any time. We do not guarantee that we will continue to provide any particular Additional Services. Not all mobile devices will be able to receive the Services. If you buy a SIM Only tariff from us, your current device may be restricted to use on another network or "locked" and you may need to obtain an unlocking code from your current service provider to be able to receive the Services. Failure to enter the correct unlocking code may result in your device becoming permanently blocked.
4.2 We will provide you with roaming services in the EEA in accordance with applicable legislation. For Post-Pay Tariffs, when your SIM Card/eSIM is connected to the iD Mobile Network, it will have been programmed so that you are able to use overseas networks to make calls and send MMS or SMS messages and data roam whilst overseas. In accordance with EU Roaming Regulations whilst roaming (both within and outside of the EU) you may be capped from exceeding the current data roaming spend limit which is £45 (excluding VAT) per month. If you want to have your data roaming spend limit uncapped, then you should visit iD Mobile's website for methods of contact - www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. Please note: the EU Roaming Regulations do not apply to iD Mobile, but we have decided to continue to offer you the benefits that they provide anyway.
4.2.1 If you use iD Mobile services in our Roam Free Destinations, you can use up to 30GB of your monthly data allowance while roaming.
4.2.1.1 If you have a plan with less than 30GB monthly data allowance, you can use any remaining data from your monthly inclusive allowance plus any data rollover and any add-on up to a maximum total of 30GB a month. When you exceed this you'll be charged an out of bundle rate of £0.10 per Mb (equivalent to £102.40 per GB).
4.2.1.2 If you have a plan with 30GB or more monthly data allowance (not including unlimited plans), you can use any remaining data from your monthly inclusive allowance up to 30GB a month. Once you exceed this, you will be surcharged £3 per GB up to your monthly inclusive data allowance plus any data rollover and add-on. Thereafter, you will be charged at our standard roaming out of bundle rate of £0.10Mb (equivalent to £102.40 per GB).
4.2.1.3 If you have an unlimited data plan, you can use up to 30GB in a month while roaming. Any use that is excess of 30GB, you will be surcharged at £3 per GB.
4.2.2 Additional Services or add-ons are not part of your monthly inclusive allowance. However, subject to our Fair Use Policy add-ons may be used when roaming in our Roam Free Destinations. For more information, please see our Fair Use Policy.
4.3 If you use your SIM Card/eSIM abroad, you will be charged for the calls that you receive as well as for those that you make except when you roam in the Economic European Area in which case, subject to our Fair Usage Policy, your voice and SMS usage will be charged at the same rate as the UK rate and your data allowance will be calculated in accordance with the EU Roaming Regulations. If your EU Roaming Use exceeds the EU Roaming Data Allowance (RDA), we may apply a Surcharge of £0.25 per MB of data used beyond the RDA, up to the amount your inclusive allowance under your Tariff. Use beyond your inclusive allowance will be charged under your Tariff. In respect of voice and SMS services, we may apply a Surcharge if we think you are roaming permanently, regardless of any allowance under your Tariff. Charges incurred using your roaming service may take longer to be charged than normal Charges. For details on surcharge and our Fair Usage Policy please visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming/fair-usage-policy
4.4 The Services are not guaranteed to be fault free and they may be impaired by things such as too many people trying to use the Network, geographical, topographical, atmospheric, or other conditions (including buildings, underpasses and other causes of interference) and/or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Overseas networks may also be limited in quality and coverage. Outside the EEA, access to overseas networks will depend upon the arrangements between the foreign operators and us, details of which are available on the Website and which may change from time to time.
4.5 The network coverage and the data speed will vary due to a number of factors including your location, local geography, congestion, your plan and the type of device that you are using. For example, you would only be able to use 5G services with a 5G-ready device, eligible plan and within the 5G coverage area. For more information please visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/coverage.
4.6 If you experience continuous or recurring disruption of our Services or if there is a technical fault on our network that is caused by us, you may be entitled to a partial or full credit of your charges based on severity of the disruption caused and the number of days your Services remained disrupted. To receive credit of your charges, you must report to us the nature of the disruption you experienced as soon as reasonably practicable, and no later than 6 months after the disruption began. We will then investigate the severity and its impact on your Services against your typical usage history and take next steps to resolve the disruption reported.
4.6.1 If the Services are not available to you for 7 days or longer you may terminate the agreement. You must contact us to confirm that services are not available to you and if we deem that the root cause originated with us, then no Early Termination Fees will apply. In such case, you must return your handset and any other equipment purchased as part of your contract. Once we have received your return we will reverse any Termination Fees that may have been applied. For more details on how to return your equipment please visit www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/returns-cancellations.
4.6.2 We will not be responsible for any loss of service due to something outside of our reasonable control.
4.7 We aim to connect your SIM Card/eSIM to the Services within 14 days of accepting your order. If you place an order for an Additional Service or otherwise instruct us to change the Services (e.g. to bar calls) we will use reasonable endeavours to complete your order as soon as possible, but there may be a delay in your order being completed. We will not be liable to you for any costs, expenses or claims arising directly or indirectly out of such delay.
4.8 In the interest of other users, the number and duration of messages that can be left on your voicemail service will be limited. Please note that the confidentiality of your messages cannot be guaranteed. You must not record an abusive greeting message. You may not be able to use the voicemail service whilst abroad.
4.9 You may use the Services to access or link into websites, resources and/or networks worldwide. We accept no responsibility for the content, services or otherwise in respect of these and you agree to conform to the acceptable use policies of such websites, resources and/or networks.
4.10 By default, billing is provided through your iD Mobile online account at my.idmobile.co.uk/ and in the iD Mobile app. If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile website for methods of contact - www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus and we will arrange this for you.
4.11 On connection of your SIM Card/eSIM to the Network (or at any time later on), we may set a credit limit on the Charges you may incur during each calendar month (we call this a "Credit Limit"). We shall give you notice if we change your Credit Limit. If you wish to vary your Credit Limit, you should visit iD Mobile’s website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. We may agree to vary the Credit Limit after making credit checks and we may, pursuant to Clause 4.10, ask you to pay a deposit. If you go over your Credit Limit (and it may take us some time to check this, particularly if you are using your roaming service), we may suspend the Services until payment of all Charges (including any reconnection charge) has been made and you will, in attempting to make any call, be automatically diverted to our customer payments helpline to make a payment.
4.12 We may require you to pay a deposit for the Services or Additional Services. Such deposit will be reasonable, non-interest bearing, retained for a minimum period advised to you or until your final invoice has been paid following termination of this Agreement and Charges incurred by you may be offset against this deposit. If there is a remaining deposit after all Charges are recovered, we will refund the balance to you. At any time after the minimum period advised for holding your deposit, you may ask for a refund of your deposit, but this may result in us restricting the use or provision of the Services or reducing your Credit Limit.
4.13 Please note that the Credit Limit does not act as a cap to prevent further Charges arising and you may be able to incur Charges which result in you exceeding your Credit Limit, subject to clause 4.2 above when roaming. If this happens, you will still be liable to pay for all Charges incurred in excess of your Credit Limit. We may restrict your ability to purchase Additional Services based on your Credit Limit. Upgrades are at the sole discretion of iD and will be limited to the duration of your Minimum Period unless we notify you otherwise.
4.14 Devices sold directly from us as part of your current agreement are not locked to the iD Mobile network and this will continue even after your minimum contract term is complete. However, if you did not purchase the device you are using from us and is now locked following use of an iD Mobile Sim/eSIM, and you want it to be unlocked from our network, you can contact us and we can help to arrange for your device to be unlocked free of charge in an authorised manner. Prior to us arranging for your device to be unlocked, you must ensure that you have separate copies of any information, videos, pictures or other data on the device which you want to keep, as this will be lost during the device unlocking process. We will not be liable for any damage, loss or erasure of any such data. The software in the devices and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned or licensed by the manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the manufacturer.
4.15 You can use the Service to call the emergency services. Your number will be shown to the emergency operator. When making an emergency call, your location information will be provided to the emergency operator to the extent technically feasible.
4.16 If the PAC / STAC process is delayed, and the delay is our fault, you may be entitled to Switching Delay Compensation in the form of one-off reimbursement of a portion of your monthly line rental, in the form of an account credit. Your switching delay compensation amount will be communicated to you and credit will automatically be applied to your account.

On transfer, we will attempt to continue to make available to you the Services, or similar services.

From the date of issue, your PAC will be active for 30 days and during this time you can port your number to another provider. Requesting a PAC and porting your number to another provider after termination is free of charge and does not have any impact on your final bill. To request a PAC after termination you must contact our customer services team. Methods of contact can be found on iD Mobile's website; www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus
8.7 We may suspend the Services where you exceed the Credit Limit or where you do anything that would entitle us to terminate this Agreement (in which case, if we do this, we can still terminate if we wish). We reserve the right not to provide them again until you provide adequate confirmation that you will stop breaching this Agreement. We will continue to provide access to emergency services.
8.8 We may also suspend or terminate the provision of the Services where this is strictly necessary:
8.8.1 for reasons outside of our control; or
8.8.2 if any agreement giving us the ability to provide the Services is suspended or terminated.
8.9 If we suspend the Services, this Agreement will still continue. You do not have to pay the Charges where we suspend the Services under Clause 8.9, but otherwise you must pay all Charges during any period of suspension until the Agreement is ended including all monthly (or other periodic) line rental charges for any Minimum Period which continues to run.
8.10 You must pay a re-connection charge of £10.00 if the Services are temporarily suspended for the reasons stated in Clause 8.8 above.
8.11 In addition to the rights in this Clause 8, you may be able to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of sale (or similar) that apply to you.

10.1 If you choose to upgrade with iD, your new tariff will be activated immediately at completion of point of sale. You will receive a notification via email that your upgrade has been processed and that your new tariff is active.
10.2 Once the new tariff is active, your previous tariff will have an end date of midnight on the day before the date your upgrade became active.
10.3 If you had already begun your bill cycle before your upgrade was completed, your first bill will include the monthly recurring cost from your previous tariff, pro-rated up until the date your previous tariff ended, and the monthly recurring cost from your new tariff, pro-rated until the end of your bill cycle. Accordingly, your monthly inclusive allowances will also be pro-rated.
11. Special Feature(s)
11.1 Capping: All pay monthly plans purchased after 15th June 2017 have a cap applied.
11.1.1 This means that the out of bundle Charges you pay each month shall not be more than the monthly line rental plus the capped amount (as specified in your Tariff Summary). For example, if your monthly line rental is £10.00 per month and your selected capped amount is £5.00, the total Charges you will have to pay will never be more than £15.00 each month. Capping does not apply to the purchase of certain Services such as add-ons or paper billing.
11.1.2 Once you have reached the capped amount, you will only be able to use your remaining inclusive or add-on allowances.
11.1.3 Subject to credit status, you may be able to increase your capped amount using our mobile app or through 'My iD' online account. You shall be responsible for any increases to your Capped Amount, regardless of whether or not you authorised it.
11.2 If you finish your inclusive allowance and continue to make Eligible Calls or SMS Services whilst roaming, we will charge you our standard roaming rates which vary depending on roaming destination. For roaming rates visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/international-and-roaming-charges.
11.2.1 Additional Services or add-ons are not part of your monthly inclusive allowance and may not be used whilst roaming as such. However, subject to our Fair Use Policy add-ons may be used when roaming in our Roam Free Destinations. For more information, please see our Fair Use Policy.
11.3 Rollover plan: If you have purchased a Rollover tariff or have added Rollover to your tariff, your unused monthly inclusive data allowance can be rolled over into the next consecutive month(s) for a set period, as specified in your Tariff Summary.
11.3.1 Rollover may be included as a feature of your tariff or may be a chargeable service that can be added to your tariff. In the case of the latter, Rollover can only be added to your tariff at point of sale.
11.3.2 Only your inclusive data allowances are eligible for rollover. Any Additional Services or reward allowances that you have included in your Tariff are not considered to be part of your monthly inclusive allowance. This means that if you purchase any Additional Services allowances and receive any reward allowances, they will not be eligible for Rollover and will be subject to their individual terms and conditions.
11.3.3 If your tariff has an unlimited data allowance, it will not be eligible for Rollover. If your account is not up-to-date and is subject to credit control or your account is suspended you will not be eligible for Rollover until your account is up-to-date or reinstated.
11.3.4 Any unused Rollover data allowances will be lost if you migrate to a new tariff. However, if the new tariff is eligible for Rollover, you will begin to accrue Rollover allowances again.
11.4 Data Cushion is a free data Additional Service, valid for 24 months from date of purchase.
11.4.1 You can use all or part of the Data Cushion in any month but only when your monthly Data allowance (inclusive bundle data and other data Additional Service) has been used.
11.4.2 The Data Cushion is added only once and will be reflected in your total data allowance within "Remaining Allowances" in My Account or Self Care. It will not be carried forward when you upgrade or renew your existing contract.
11.4.3 If you'd like to cancel this Agreement, you can do so at no cost during the cooling-off period, which is 14 days for in-store purchases and 30 days for iD Mobile online and over the phone purchases.

You'll have to pay for any line rental, usage, and additional purchases, such as add-ons, accrued up to the point of disconnection. If you bought a phone from us, you'd need to return it within the cooling-off period, together with all packaging, accessories, and included extras
12. Charges
12.1 The Charges for the Services will be calculated in accordance with your Tariff and our List of Charges using the details we have recorded. The List of Charges may change from time to time.
12.2 We will provide Post Pay customers with regular notifications prompting customers to access their bill via the free iD Mobile app or idmobile.co.uk/myid. A full itemisation of the Charges incurred and usage can be accessed If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile website for methods of contact - www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus and we will arrange this for you or alternatively you can request a bill in paper format by using the iD Mobile app.
12.3 You must pay to us all the Charges arising under this Agreement whether incurred by you or anyone else using your Mobile Device and/or SIM Card/eSIM with or without your knowledge at the times and in the manner set out in this Agreement even when such Charges exceed any Credit Limit imposed upon your account.
12.4 Calls made by Post Pay customers in the UK to eligible UK numbers are charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 60 second minimum charge.
12.5 For all customers, calls made in the UK to eligible international numbers are charged in one minute increments rounded up to the nearest minute.
12.6 When roaming in the EEA, charges for calls you make will be charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 30 second minimum charge. When roaming other than in the EEA, you will be charged for the calls you make and receive by the minute or less and any part minute will be rounded up to the nearest whole minute or less. This is dependent on the location you are roaming in. Details of these charges will be set out in our List of Charges. MMS or SMS messages made outside the EEA may be charged other than in whole penny increments. Within the EEA, SMS messages will be deducted from your domestic allowance and MMS, from your data allowance.
12.7 Data usage made by Post Pay customers are charged or deducted in one kilobyte (KB) increments and any part KB used will be rounded up to the nearest KB.
12.8 Unless otherwise stated, call prices are quoted by the minute and include VAT. Each call is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny, each MMS or SMS is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest tenth of a penny. VAT is then added where applicable and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny. An invoice including the rate of VAT charged and our VAT number can be provided upon written request for Post Pay customers (this may be chargeable).
12.9 Your first month's line rental after the beginning of the Minimum Period is likely to be less or more than the amount stated in your Tariff, as monthly Charges incurred for, and inclusive allowances in respect of, periods of less or more than one month will be calculated on a pro rata basis and billed to you accordingly. Regardless of when the call is commenced, Charges will be applied according to your Tariff and our List of Charges for each chargeable period the call is active.
12.10 Any unused inclusive allowances may not be carried forward from one month to the next unless expressly stated by us. In this context "monthly" or "month" means your monthly billing period, which may not equate to a calendar month. Eligible Calls will be set against inclusive allowances in the order in which such Eligible Calls are made.
12.11 Calls to your voicemail and any of our customer service lines will be chargeable in accordance with the Tariff and may be deducted from any monthly allowances. When using call return (returning a call when directly within your voicemail service), you will be charged for both the voicemail call and the call return call throughout the duration of the returned call. Call return calls will be deducted from any inclusive allowance, where appropriate. The call return charge is calculated as the rate for that Tariff, as if you had hung up and dialled direct for the returned call, less the voicemail charge. The minimum call rate on call return is the same as the voicemail rate. For Post Pay Tariffs, calls to voicemail 123 are decremented from your inclusive allowance.
12.12 A standard text message contains up to 160 characters. Some Mobile Devices allow you to send messages of more than 160 characters, in which case the message will be divided into the number of messages required to convey the message and each such message will be charged at the standard text message rate. Some Mobile Devices convert messages of more than 160 characters or group messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. When including an email address and / or special characters including, but not limited to emojis within a standard text message, some Mobile Devices convert these messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. Standard text message prices exclude premium rate, international, roaming, reverse charged and long text messages. Only standard text messages are included in inclusive SMS allowances.
12.13 Using MMS you can send long text messages, picture messages and video messages. A long text message, picture message and video message is limited to a maximum size of 295kb. If a message contains multiple media items you will be charged for the most expensive item in the message, for example, send a message containing a picture and video clip you are charged the video message price. Should you wish to prevent incurring charges for MMS, you must switch off the MMS function on your device or adjust the settings so that you are warned if an MMS is about to be sent. Please refer to your device manual for further information.
12.14 For Post Pay Tariffs, charges are payable to us by Direct Debit on the dates notified to you following acceptance of your order. You must pay the charges within 14 days of the date of any bill. Failure to pay on time will result in a £5.00 collections administration fee (see List of Charges) being applied to your account. Should your direct debit fail, you may use an alternative payment method to pay; please contact us to arrange this.
12.15 If a Direct Debit or other Payment Method is dishonoured or cancelled, we shall be entitled to charge you as compensation for our losses an amount equal to the costs that we incur as a result of such dishonoured or cancelled Direct Debit or other Payment Method (which may include third party charges levied on us).
12.16 For any overdue payments we may charge interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 2% above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank Plc as published from time to time. Interest is charged on a per annum basis, calculated daily. Overdue payments will also be subject to a collections administration fee (see List of Charges), regardless of the payment method you choose. Should any overdue payment remain unpaid, we reserve the right to forward / sell the overdue balance to a debt collection agency.
12.17 If we advise you of the amount due on your account from time to time this is an estimate based on the information we have received to date.
12.18 We may arrange for bills or invoices to be issued by a third party on our behalf. Bills or invoices issued by such third party shall be binding on you and payment of such bills or invoices in full to the third party where directed to do so will be a valid discharge of your liability to pay such bills or invoices under this Agreement.
12.19 If you change Tariff for any reason e.g. when Upgrading or moving to a promotional offer, any unused allowances will be lost.
12.20 If we provide you with a credit to your account (for example as a goodwill gesture), such credit will be deducted from your Charges until the credit has been used. These credits cannot be redeemed for cash and any unused credits are non-refundable upon disconnection of your Service or termination of this Agreement.
12.21 Additional call, text and/or data charges may apply when used outside the UK and the EEA. Data usage in the EEA is subject to our Fair Use Policy available on our Website at https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming/fair-usage-policy
Annual Price Increase
12.22 If you have a handset plan, there will be an annual adjustment to your monthly plan charge. Each April, your monthly plan charge will increase by an amount equal to the Consumer Price Index rate of inflation published by the Office for National Statistics in February (“CPI rate”) plus an additional 3.9% on top of the CPI rate. We will apply the CPI rate plus 3.9% adjustment from your April bill. We will publish the CPI Rate on our website at www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/consumer-price-index as soon as it becomes available. Any price increase under this Clause will not give you a No Fee Right to Exit.
CPI price adjustment examples using January 2023 CPI rate change (Announced in February 2023):
Old monthly cost (incl VAT) | CPI % increase | CPI +3.9% increase | New monthly cost after CPI+3.9% is applied (incl VAT) |

4. Provision of the Services
4.1 The Services may not be available in all parts of the United Kingdom or abroad. You may not be able to use the Services which we agree to provide to you to call all countries or all international numbers. Unless otherwise agreed, the Services do not include call divert or call waiting. We reserve the right to add to, substitute, or discontinue any Additional Services at any time. We do not guarantee that we will continue to provide any particular Additional Services. Not all mobile devices will be able to receive the Services. If you buy a SIM Only tariff from us, your current device may be restricted to use on another network or ‘locked’ and you may need to obtain an unlocking code from your current service provider to be able to receive the Services. Failure to enter the correct unlocking code may result in your device becoming permanently blocked.
4.2 We will provide you with roaming services in the EEA in accordance with applicable legislation. For Post-Pay Tariffs, when your SIM Card is connected to the iD Mobile Network, it will have been programmed so that you are able to use overseas networks to make calls and send MMS or SMS messages and data roam whilst overseas. In accordance with EU Roaming Regulations whilst roaming (both within and outside of the EU) you may be capped from exceeding the current data roaming spend limit which is £45 (excluding VAT) per month. If you want to have your data roaming spend limit uncapped, then you should visit iD Mobile’s website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. Please note: the EU Roaming Regulations do not apply to iD Mobile, but we have decided to continue to offer you the benefits that they provide anyway.
4.2.1 If you use iD Mobile services in our Roam Free Destinations, you can use up to 30GB of your monthly data allowance while roaming.
4.2.1.1 If you have a plan with less than 30GB monthly data allowance, you can use any remaining data from your monthly inclusive allowance plus any data rollover and any add-on up to a maximum total of 30GB a month. When you exceed this you'll be charged an out of bundle rate of £0.10 per Mb (equivalent to £102.40 per GB).
4.2.1.2 If you have a plan with 30GB or more monthly data allowance (not including unlimited plans), you can use any remaining data from your monthly inclusive allowance up to 30GB a month. Once you exceed this, you will be surcharged £3 per GB up to your monthly inclusive data allowance plus any data rollover and add-on. Thereafter, you will be charged at our standard roaming out of bundle rate of £0.10Mb (equivalent to £102.40 per GB).
4.2.1.3 If you have an unlimited data plan, you can use up to 30GB in a month while roaming. Any use that is excess of 30GB, you will be surcharged at £3 per GB.
4.3 If you use your SIM Card abroad, you will be charged for the calls that you receive as well as for those that you make except when you roam in the Economic European Area in which case, subject to our Fair Usage Policy, your voice and SMS usage will be charged at the same rate as the UK rate and your data allowance will be calculated in accordance with the EU Roaming Regulations. If your EU Roaming Use exceeds the EU Roaming Data Allowance (RDA), we may apply a Surcharge of £0.25 per MB of data used beyond the RDA, up to the amount your inclusive allowance under your Tariff. Use beyond your inclusive allowance will be charged under your Tariff. In respect of voice and SMS services, we may apply a Surcharge if we think you are roaming permanently, regardless of any allowance under your Tariff. Charges incurred using your roaming service may take longer to be charged than normal Charges. For details on surcharge and our Fair Usage Policy please visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming/fair-usage-policy
4.4 The Services are not guaranteed to be fault free and they may be impaired by things such as too many people trying to use the Network, geographical, topographical, atmospheric, or other conditions (including buildings, underpasses and other causes of interference) and/or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Overseas networks may also be limited in quality and coverage. Outside the EEA, access to overseas networks will depend upon the arrangements between the foreign operators and us, details of which are available on the Website and which may change from time to time.
4.5 The network coverage and the data speed will vary due to a number of factors including your location, local geography, congestion, your plan and the type of device that you are using. For example, you would only be able to use 5G services with a 5G-ready device, eligible plan and within the 5G coverage area. For more information please visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/coverage
4.6 If you experience continuous or recurring disruption of our Services or if there is a technical fault on our network that is caused by us, you may be entitled to a partial or full credit of your charges based on severity of the disruption caused and the number of days your Services remained disrupted. To receive credit of your charges, you must report to us the nature of the disruption you experienced as soon as reasonably practicable, and no later than 6 months after the disruption began. We will then investigate the severity and its impact on your Services against your typical usage history and take next steps to resolve the disruption reported.
4.7 We aim to connect your SIM Card to the Services within 14 days of accepting your order. If you place an order for an Additional Service or otherwise instruct us to change the Services (e.g. to bar calls) we will use reasonable endeavours to complete your order as soon as possible, but there may be a delay in your order being completed. We will not be liable to you for any costs, expenses or claims arising directly or indirectly out of such delay.
4.8 In the interest of other users, the number and duration of messages that can be left on your voicemail service will be limited. Please note that the confidentiality of your messages cannot be guaranteed. You must not record an abusive greeting message. You may not be able to use the voicemail service whilst abroad.
4.9 You may use the Services to access or link into websites, resources and/or networks worldwide. We accept no responsibility for the content, services or otherwise in respect of these and you agree to conform to the acceptable use policies of such websites, resources and/or networks.
4.10 By default, billing is provided through your iD Mobile online account at my.idmobile.co.uk/ and in the iD Mobile app. If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus and we will arrange this for you.
4.11 On connection of your SIM Card to the Network (or at any time later on), we may set a credit limit on the Charges you may incur during each calendar month (we call this a "Credit Limit"). We shall give you notice if we change your Credit Limit. If you wish to vary your Credit Limit, you should visit iD Mobile’s website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. We may agree to vary the Credit Limit after making credit checks and we may, pursuant to Clause 4.10, ask you to pay a deposit. If you go over your Credit Limit (and it may take us some time to check this, particularly if you are using your roaming service), we may suspend the Services until payment of all Charges (including any reconnection charge) has been made and you will, in attempting to make any call, be automatically diverted to our customer payments helpline to make a payment.
4.12 We may require you to pay a deposit for the Services or Additional Services. Such deposit will be reasonable, non-interest bearing, retained for a minimum period advised to you or until your final invoice has been paid following termination of this Agreement and Charges incurred by you may be offset against this deposit. If there is a remaining deposit after all Charges are recovered, we will refund the balance to you. At any time after the minimum period advised for holding your deposit, you may ask for a refund of your deposit, but this may result in us restricting the use or provision of the Services or reducing your Credit Limit.
4.13 Please note that the Credit Limit does not act as a cap to prevent further Charges arising and you may be able to incur Charges which result in you exceeding your Credit Limit, subject to clause 4.2 above when roaming. If this happens, you will still be liable to pay for all Charges incurred in excess of your Credit Limit. We may restrict your ability to purchase Additional Services based on your Credit Limit. Upgrades are at the sole discretion of iD and will be limited to the duration of your Minimum Period unless we notify you otherwise.
4.14 Devices sold directly from us as part of your current agreement are not locked to the iD Mobile network and this will continue even after your minimum contract term is complete. However, if you did not purchase the device you are using from us and is now locked following use of an iD mobile Sim, and you want it to be unlocked from our network, you can contact us and we can help to arrange for your device to be unlocked free of charge in an authorised manner. Prior to us arranging for your device to be unlocked, you must ensure that you have separate copies of any information, videos, pictures or other data on the device which you want to keep, as this will be lost during the device unlocking process. We will not be liable for any damage, loss or erasure of any such data. The software in the devices and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned or licensed by the manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the manufacturer.
4.15 You can use the Service to call the emergency services. Your number will be shown to the emergency operator. When making an emergency call, your location information will be provided to the emergency operator to the extent technically feasible.
4.16 If the PAC / STAC process is delayed, and the delay is our fault, you may be entitled to Switching Delay Compensation in the form of one-off reimbursement of a portion of your monthly line rental, in the form of an account credit. Your switching delay compensation amount will be communicated to you and credit will automatically be applied to your account.
5. Your responsibilities
5.1 You are responsible for managing your account by downloading the iD Mobile App or registering for MyAccount – www.idmobile.co.uk/myaccount. You must provide us with a current email address for billing purposes and tell us promptly if you change your email.

12.5 For all customers, calls made in the UK to eligible international numbers are charged in one minute increments rounded up to the nearest minute.
12.6 When roaming in the EEA, charges for calls you make will be charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 30 second minimum charge. When roaming other than in the EEA, you will be charged for the calls you make and receive by the minute or less and any part minute will be rounded up to the nearest whole minute or less. This is dependent on the location you are roaming in. Details of these charges will be set out in our List of Charges. MMS or SMS messages made outside the EEA may be charged other than in whole penny increments. Within the EEA, SMS messages will be deducted from your domestic allowance and MMS, from your data allowance.

12.8 Unless otherwise stated, call prices are quoted by the minute and include VAT. Each call is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny, each MMS or SMS is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest tenth of a penny. VAT is then added where applicable and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny. An invoice including the rate of VAT charged and our VAT number can be provided upon written request for Post Pay customers (this may be chargeable).
12.9 Your first month’s line rental after the beginning of the Minimum Period is likely to be less or more than the amount stated in your Tariff, as monthly Charges incurred for, and inclusive allowances in respect of, periods of less or more than one month will be calculated on a pro rata basis and billed to you accordingly. Regardless of when the call is commenced, Charges will be applied according to your Tariff and our List of Charges for each chargeable period the call is active.
12.10 Any unused inclusive allowances may not be carried forward from one month to the next unless expressly stated by us.

When using call return (returning a call when directly within your voicemail service), you will be charged for both the voicemail call and the call return call throughout the duration of the returned call. Call return calls will be deducted from any inclusive allowance, where appropriate. The call return charge is calculated as the rate for that Tariff, as if you had hung up and dialled direct for the returned call, less the voicemail charge. The minimum call rate on call return is the same as the voicemail rate. For Post Pay Tariffs, calls to voicemail 123 are decremented from your inclusive allowance.
12.12 A standard text message contains up to 160 characters. Some Mobile Devices allow you to send messages of more than 160 characters, in which case the message will be divided into the number of messages required to convey the message and each such message will be charged at the standard text message rate. Some Mobile Devices convert messages of more than 160 characters or group messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. When including an email address and / or special characters including, but not limited to emojis within a standard text message, some Mobile Devices convert these messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. Standard text message prices exclude premium rate, international, roaming, reverse charged and long text messages. Only standard text messages are included in inclusive SMS allowances.

3.1 This Agreement will continue for the Minimum Period and will continue to apply after that unless and until either you or we terminate it in accordance with Clause 8 below or otherwise in accordance with a right expressly set out in this Agreement.
3.2 If you take an Upgrade from us, this will start a new Minimum Period running, and this may end later than the end of the previous Minimum Period.
4. Provision of the Services
4.1 The Services may not be available in all parts of the United Kingdom or abroad. You may not be able to use the Services which we agree to provide to you to call all countries or all international numbers. Unless otherwise agreed, the Services do not include call divert or call waiting. We reserve the right to add to, substitute, or discontinue any Additional Services at any time. We do not guarantee that we will continue to provide any particular Additional Services. Not all mobile devices will be able to receive the Services. If you buy a SIM Only tariff from us, your current device may be restricted to use on another network or 'locked' and you may need to obtain an unlocking code from your current service provider to be able to receive the Services. Failure to enter the correct unlocking code may result in your device becoming permanently blocked.
4.2 We will provide you with roaming services in the EEA in accordance with applicable legislation. For Post-Pay Tariffs, when your SIM Card is connected to the iD Mobile Network, it will have been programmed so that you are able to use overseas networks to make calls and send MMS or SMS messages and data roam whilst overseas. In accordance with EU Roaming Regulations whilst roaming (both within and outside of the EU) you may be capped from exceeding the current data roaming spend limit which is £45 (excluding VAT) per month. If you want to have your data roaming spend limit uncapped, then you should visit iD Mobile's website for methods of contact - www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. Please note: the EU Roaming Regulations do not apply to iD Mobile, but we have decided to continue to offer you the benefits that they provide anyway.
4.3 If you use your SIM Card abroad, you will be charged for the calls that you receive as well as for those that you make except when you roam in the Economic European Area in which case, subject to our Fair Usage Policy, your voice and SMS usage will be charged at the same rate as the UK rate and your data allowance will be calculated in accordance with the EU Roaming Regulations. If your EU Roaming Use exceeds the EU Roaming Data Allowance (RDA), we may apply a Surcharge of £0.25 per MB of data used beyond the RDA, up to the amount your inclusive allowance under your Tariff. Use beyond your inclusive allowance will be charged under your Tariff. In respect of voice and SMS services, we may apply a Surcharge if we think you are roaming permanently, regardless of any allowance under your Tariff. Charges incurred using your roaming service may take longer to be charged than normal Charges. For details on surcharge and our Fair Usage Policy please visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming/fair-usage-policy
4.4 The Services are not guaranteed to be fault free and they may be impaired by things such as too many people trying to use the Network, geographical, topographical, atmospheric, or other conditions (including buildings, underpasses and other causes of interference) and/or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Overseas networks may also be limited in quality and coverage. Outside the EEA, access to overseas networks will depend upon the arrangements between the foreign operators and us, details of which are available on the Website and which may change from time to time.
4.5 The network coverage and the data speed will vary due to a number of factors including your location, local geography, congestion, your plan and the type of device that you are using. For example, you would only be able to use 5G services with a 5G-ready device, eligible plan and within the 5G coverage area. For more information please visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/coverage
4.6 If you experience continuous or recurring disruption of our Services or if there is a technical fault on our network that is caused by us, you may be entitled to a partial or full credit of your charges based on severity of the disruption caused and the number of days your Services remained disrupted. To receive credit of your charges, you must report to us the nature of the disruption you experienced as soon as reasonably practicable, and no later than 6 months after the disruption began. We will then investigate the severity and its impact on your Services against your typical usage history and take next steps to resolve the disruption reported.
4.7 We aim to connect your SIM Card to the Services within 14 days of accepting your order. If you place an order for an Additional Service or otherwise instruct us to change the Services (e.g. to bar calls) we will use reasonable endeavours to complete your order as soon as possible, but there may be a delay in your order being completed. We will not be liable to you for any costs, expenses or claims arising directly or indirectly out of such delay.
4.8 In the interest of other users, the number and duration of messages that can be left on your voicemail service will be limited. Please note that the confidentiality of your messages cannot be guaranteed. You must not record an abusive greeting message. You may not be able to use the voicemail service whilst abroad.
4.9 You may use the Services to access or link into websites, resources and/or networks worldwide. We accept no responsibility for the content, services or otherwise in respect of these and you agree to conform to the acceptable use policies of such websites, resources and/or networks.
4.10 By default, billing is provided through your iD Mobile online account at my.idmobile.co.uk/ and in the iD Mobile app. If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus and we will arrange this for you.
4.11 On connection of your SIM Card to the Network (or at any time later on), we may set a credit limit on the Charges you may incur during each calendar month (we call this a "Credit Limit"). We shall give you notice if we change your Credit Limit. If you wish to vary your Credit Limit, you should visit iD Mobile’s website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. We may agree to vary the Credit Limit after making credit checks and we may, pursuant to Clause 4.10, ask you to pay a deposit. If you go over your Credit Limit (and it may take us some time to check this, particularly if you are using your roaming service), we may suspend the Services until payment of all Charges (including any reconnection charge) has been made and you will, in attempting to make any call, be automatically diverted to our customer payments helpline to make a payment.
4.12 We may require you to pay a deposit for the Services or Additional Services. Such deposit will be reasonable, non-interest bearing, retained for a minimum period advised to you or until your final invoice has been paid following termination of this Agreement and Charges incurred by you may be offset against this deposit. If there is a remaining deposit after all Charges are recovered, we will refund the balance to you. At any time after the minimum period advised for holding your deposit, you may ask for a refund of your deposit, but this may result in us restricting the use or provision of the Services or reducing your Credit Limit.
4.13 Please note that the Credit Limit does not act as a cap to prevent further Charges arising and you may be able to incur Charges which result in you exceeding your Credit Limit, subject to clause 4.2 above when roaming. If this happens, you will still be liable to pay for all Charges incurred in excess of your Credit Limit. We may restrict your ability to purchase Additional Services based on your Credit Limit. Upgrades are at the sole discretion of iD and will be limited to the duration of your Minimum Period unless we notify you otherwise.
4.14 Devices sold directly from us as part of your current agreement are not locked to the iD Mobile network and this will continue even after your minimum contract term is complete. However, if you did not purchase the device you are using from us and is now locked following use of an iD mobile Sim, and you want it to be unlocked from our network, you can contact us and we can help to arrange for your device to be unlocked free of charge in an authorised manner. Prior to us arranging for your device to be unlocked, you must ensure that you have separate copies of any information, videos, pictures or other data on the device which you want to keep, as this will be lost during the device unlocking process. We will not be liable for any damage, loss or erasure of any such data. The software in the devices and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned or licensed by the manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the manufacturer.
4.15 You can use the Service to call the emergency services. Your number will be shown to the emergency operator. When making an emergency call, your location information will be provided to the emergency operator to the extent technically feasible.
4.16 If the PAC / STAC process is delayed, and the delay is our fault, you may be entitled to Switching Delay Compensation in the form of one-off reimbursement of a portion of your monthly line rental, in the form of an account credit. Your switching delay compensation amount will be communicated to you and credit will automatically be applied to your account.

Unless otherwise agreed, you must not reverse the charges on any telephone call or accept a reverse charged call. Where a Mobile Device is provided, you must only use such a device for connection to the Network and also comply with all relevant legislation relating to its use.
5.6 The SIM Card we provide does not belong to you but remains our property. You may not sell your SIM Card, or agree to transfer them (other than through porting it to another network in accordance with the standard porting process) to anyone else without our consent.
5.7 If the SIM Card is lost, stolen, damaged, destroyed or used in an unauthorised manner we may charge you the amount specified in the List of Charges for reconnection.

5.8 You must:
5.8.1 take adequate precautions to prevent loss or theft of your SIM Card;
5.8.2 inform our customer services as soon as possible if you do lose your SIM Card.

5.9 We are providing the SIM Card and the Services solely for your own personal use (and not for any business purposes) and you may not re-sell or otherwise act as any form of distributor in respect of the SIM Card, the Content, the Services or your number, code or any associated number. You must not connect a GSM Gateway to the Network or otherwise establish, install or use a GSM Gateway in relation to the Network or the Services without our prior written consent, which may be withheld at our absolute discretion.
5.10 You must tell us immediately if anyone makes or threatens to make any claim or issues legal proceedings against you relating to your use of the Services or the Content and you will, at our request, immediately stop the act or acts complained of. If we ask you to, you must confirm the details of the claim(s) in writing.
6. Things we may have to do
6.1 Occasionally we may have to:
6.1.1 alter the mobile phone number or any other name, code or number or technical specification associated with the Services for reasons beyond our control such as where requested to do so by a governmental or regulatory body or where we reasonably believe that the alteration will enhance your use of the Services. If this is the case, we will give you reasonable notice;

6.1.3 give you instructions which we believe are necessary for reasons of health, safety or the quality of Services to you or any other customer;

6.1.5 bar certain numbers from the Services on a temporary or permanent basis in order to prevent fraud or in circumstances where we would suffer a loss or damage.
6.2 From time to time we may have to migrate your account from one billing platform to another. In these circumstances, we will notify you if migration of your account will affect the Services to your detriment in any way.
6.3 If we believe that we may be unable to continue to provide the Services on a particular network for any reason, such as planned or unplanned incidents impacting Services, we may transfer the mobile phone number to another network. On transfer, we will attempt to continue to make available to you the Services, or similar services.
6.4 We reserve the right to monitor your usage. If we reasonably determine that your use is in breach of any applicable Fair Usage Policy, we may:
6.4.1 request you to moderate your use; and/or
6.4.2 suspend your Service.
6.5 We reserve the right to manage your use of the iD Mobile network in order to protect it for the use of all our customers. Therefore, we may deploy traffic management measures from time to time in an event which in any way breaches security measures, harms or interferes with our network, systems or services or legally required. We reserve the right to review and amend any such measures from time to time and details of our current traffic management policy can be found on our website https://www.idmobile.co.uk/online-traffic-statement
7. Our right to bar or disconnect
7.1 We can, at our discretion, bar your SIM Card from making calls (other than to the emergency services), sending MMS and/or SMS messages and/or sending or receiving data and/or disconnect your SIM Card from the Network:
7.1.1 if you have done anything that would entitle us to terminate the Agreement (in which case, if we do this, we can still also terminate this Agreement if we wish);
7.1.2 in the event of loss or theft or if we have reasonable cause to suspect fraudulent use of a Payment Method, your SIM Card and/or Mobile Device; or
7.1.3 if you are persistently abusive or make threats or otherwise act illegally towards our staff or property, or that of our agents.
7.2 You must pay an unbarring charge, any outstanding Charges including those incurred under Clause 4.12 and, if applicable, a re-connection charge if the Services are temporarily barred and/or your Mobile Device and/or SIM Card is disconnected from the Network for the reasons stated in Clause 5.4 or 7.1.

8.4.1 the Services are not available to you for a one week or longer:
8.4.2 where you suffer a material detriment because we make changes to this Agreement which you were not told about before entering into this Agreement, (except that you will not have a No Fee Right to Exit in relation to any changes we are required to make by law or regulatory body); or
8.4.3 we increase the monthly line rental element of the Charges. You will not have a No Fee Right to Exit where there are changes under Clauses 12.23 (CPI + 3.9%), or 12.27 (Roaming).
You must exercise your No Fee Right to Exit by notifying us using the process in Clause 17 and within the 30 day period set out there.
8.5 Clause 8.4 does not apply where the increase or change relates solely to Additional Services – in that case your cancellation rights apply only to the Additional Service affected.

8.7.1 The PAC process must be used when you wish to switch your provider and keep, or port, your number.
8.7.2 The STAC process (also known as N-PAC ) must be used by when you do not wish to port your number. Using the STAC process means that your existing mobile number from the previous provider will be terminated and you will not be able to reactivate it.
8.7.2 The STAC process (also known as N-PAC) must be used by when you do not wish to port your number. Using the STAC process means that your existing mobile number from the previous provider will be terminated and you will not be able to reactivate it.

From the date of issue, your PAC will be active for 30 days and during this time you can port your number to another provider. Requesting a PAC and porting your number to another provider after termination is free of charge and does not have any impact on your final bill. To request a PAC after termination you must contact our customer services team. Methods of contact can be found on iD Mobile’s website; www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus
8.8 We may suspend the Services where you exceed the Credit Limit or where you do anything that would entitle us to terminate this Agreement (in which case, if we do this, we can still terminate if we wish). We reserve the right not to provide them again until you provide adequate confirmation that you will stop breaching this Agreement. We will continue to provide access to emergency services.
8.9 We may also suspend or terminate the provision of the Services where this is strictly necessary:
8.9.1 for reasons outside of our control; or
8.9.2 if any agreement giving us the ability to provide the Services is suspended or terminated.
8.10 If we suspend the Services, this Agreement will still continue. You do not have to pay the Charges where we suspend the Services under Clause 8.9, but otherwise you must pay all Charges during any period of suspension until the Agreement is ended including all monthly (or other periodic) line rental charges for any Minimum Period which continues to run.
8.11 You must pay a re-connection charge of £10.00 if the Services are temporarily suspended for the reasons stated in Clause 8.8 above.
8.12 In addition to the rights in this Clause 8, you may be able to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of sale (or similar) that apply to you.
8.13 At the end of your Minimum Period, this Agreement will continue on these existing terms until you tell us that you'd like to terminate your Agreement. You can do so by giving us at least 30 days' notice, and you should contact us as set out in Clause 17.

9.4 For Internet access, you understand that all the visual, textual or other information published or otherwise made available (directly or indirectly) on the Internet using the Services ("Information") whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person from which such Information originated.

11. Special Feature(s)
11.1 Capping: All pay monthly plans purchased after 15th June 2017 have a cap applied.
11.1.1 This means that the out of bundle Charges you pay each month shall not be more than the monthly line rental plus the capped amount (as specified in your Tariff Summary). For example, if your monthly line rental is £10.00 per month and your selected capped amount is £5.00, the total Charges you will have to pay will never be more than £15.00 each month. Capping does not apply to the purchase of certain Services such as add-ons or paper billing.
11.1.2 Once you have reached the capped amount, you will only be able to use your remaining inclusive or add-on allowances.

11.4 Data Cushion is a free data Additional Service, valid for 24 months from date of purchase.
11.4.1 You can use all or part of the Data Cushion in any month but only when your monthly Data allowance (inclusive bundle data and other data Additional Service) has been used.
11.4.2 The Data Cushion is added only once and will be reflected in your total data allowance within “Remaining Allowances” in My Account or Self Care. It will not be carried forward when you upgrade or renew your existing contract.

12.4 Calls made by Post Pay customers in the UK to eligible UK numbers are charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 60 second minimum charge.
12.5 For all customers, calls made in the UK to eligible international numbers are charged in one minute increments rounded up to the nearest minute.
12.6 When roaming in the EEA, charges for calls you make will be charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 30 second minimum charge. When roaming other than in the EEA, you will be charged for the calls you make and receive by the minute or less and any part minute will be rounded up to the nearest whole minute or less. This is dependent on the location you are roaming in. Details of these charges will be set out in our List of Charges. MMS or SMS messages made outside the EEA may be charged other than in whole penny increments. Within the EEA, SMS messages will be deducted from your domestic allowance and MMS, from your data allowance.
12.7 Data usage made by Post Pay customers are charged or deducted in one kilobyte (KB) increments and any part KB used will be rounded up to the nearest KB.
12.8 Unless otherwise stated, call prices are quoted by the minute and include VAT. Each call is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny, each MMS or SMS is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest tenth of a penny. VAT is then added where applicable and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny. An invoice including the rate of VAT charged and our VAT number can be provided upon written request for Post Pay customers (this may be chargeable).
12.9 Your first month’s line rental after the beginning of the Minimum Period is likely to be less or more than the amount stated in your Tariff, as monthly Charges incurred for, and inclusive allowances in respect of, periods of less or more than one month will be calculated on a pro rata basis and billed to you accordingly. Regardless of when the call is commenced, Charges will be applied according to your Tariff and our List of Charges for each chargeable period the call is active.
12.10 Any unused inclusive allowances may not be carried forward from one month to the next unless expressly stated by us. In this context "monthly" or "month" means your monthly billing period, which may not equate to a calendar month. Eligible Calls will be set against inclusive allowances in the order in which such Eligible Calls are made.
12.11 Calls to your voicemail and any of our customer service lines will be chargeable in accordance with the Tariff and may be deducted from any monthly allowances. When using call return (returning a call when directly within your voicemail service), you will be charged for both the voicemail call and the call return call throughout the duration of the returned call. Call return calls will be deducted from any inclusive allowance, where appropriate. The call return charge is calculated as the rate for that Tariff, as if you had hung up and dialled direct for the returned call, less the voicemail charge. The minimum call rate on call return is the same as the voicemail rate. For Post Pay Tariffs, calls to voicemail 123 are decremented from your inclusive allowance.
12.12 A standard text message contains up to 160 characters. Some Mobile Devices allow you to send messages of more than 160 characters, in which case the message will be divided into the number of messages required to convey the message and each such message will be charged at the standard text message rate. Some Mobile Devices convert messages of more than 160 characters or group messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. When including an email address and / or special characters including, but not limited to emojis within a standard text message, some Mobile Devices convert these messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. Standard text message prices exclude premium rate, international, roaming, reverse charged and long text messages. Only standard text messages are included in inclusive SMS allowances.
12.13 Using MMS you can send long text messages, picture messages and video messages. A long text message, picture message and video message is limited to a maximum size of 295kb. If a message contains multiple media items you will be charged for the most expensive item in the message, for example, send a message containing a picture and video clip you are charged the video message price. Should you wish to prevent incurring charges for MMS, you must switch off the MMS function on your device or adjust the settings so that you are warned if an MMS is about to be sent. Please refer to your device manual for further information.
12.14 For Post Pay Tariffs, charges are payable to us by Direct Debit on the dates notified to you following acceptance of your order. You must pay the charges within 14 days of the date of any bill. Failure to pay on time will result in a £5.00 collections administration fee (see List of Charges) being applied to your account. Should your direct debit fail, you may use an alternative payment method to pay; please contact us to arrange this.
12.15 If a Direct Debit or other Payment Method is dishonoured or cancelled, we shall be entitled to charge you as compensation for our losses an amount equal to the costs that we incur as a result of such dishonoured or cancelled Direct Debit or other Payment Method (which may include third party charges levied on us).
12.16 For any overdue payments we may charge interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 2% above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank Plc as published from time to time. Interest is charged on a per annum basis, calculated daily. Overdue payments will also be subject to a collections administration fee (see List of Charges), regardless of the payment method you choose. Should any overdue payment remain unpaid, we reserve the right to forward / sell the overdue balance to a debt collection agency.
12.17 If we advise you of the amount due on your account from time to time this is an estimate based on the information we have received to date.
12.18 We may arrange for bills or invoices to be issued by a third party on our behalf. Bills or invoices issued by such third party shall be binding on you and payment of such bills or invoices in full to the third party where directed to do so will be a valid discharge of your liability to pay such bills or invoices under this Agreement.
12.19 If you change Tariff for any reason e.g. when Upgrading or moving to a promotional offer, any unused allowances will be lost.
12.20 If we provide you with a credit to your account (for example as a goodwill gesture), such credit will be deducted from your Charges until the credit has been used. These credits cannot be redeemed for cash and any unused credits are non-refundable upon disconnection of your Service or termination of this Agreement.
12.21 You will have to pay for SIM Cards or replacement SIM Cards at the price as stated in our List of Charges at that time.
12.22 Additional call, text and/or data charges may apply when used outside the UK and the EEA. Data usage in the EEA is subject to our Fair Use Policy available on our Website at https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming/fair-usage-policy
12.23 The charges you pay will increase by a percentage comprised of i) the annual percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate of inflation plus ii) 3.9%. The CPI rate is set by the Office of National Statistics. We will adjust Charges with effect from your April bill after the CPI Rate is announced for the previous 12 months to February. The Charges will be adjusted by multiplying them by (1 + (CPI Rate + 3.9%)), whereby the CPI Rate is a %. We will publish the CPI Rate on our website at www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/consumer-price-index as soon as it becomes available. Any price increase under this Clause will not give you a No Fee Right to Exit.

2. Structure of this Agreement
2.1 This Agreement covers the Services. It does not cover anything else you might buy from us.
3. Duration
3.1 This Agreement will continue for the Minimum Period and will continue to apply after that unless and until either you or we terminate it in accordance with Clause 8 below or otherwise in accordance with a right expressly set out in this Agreement.
3.2 If you take an Upgrade from us, this will start a new Minimum Period running, and this may end later than the end of the previous Minimum Period.
4. Provision of the Services
The Services may not be available in all parts of the United Kingdom or abroad. You may not be able to use the Services which we agree to provide to you to call all countries or all international numbers. Unless otherwise agreed, the Services do not include call divert or call waiting. We reserve the right to add to, substitute, or discontinue any Additional Services at any time. We do not guarantee that we will continue to provide any particular Additional Services. Not all mobile devices will be able to receive the Services. If you buy a SIM Only tariff from us, your current device may be restricted to use on another network or 'locked' and you may need to obtain an unlocking code from your current service provider to be able to receive the Services. Failure to enter the correct unlocking code may result in your device becoming permanently blocked.
4.2 We will provide you with roaming services in the EEA in accordance with applicable legislation. For Post-Pay Tariffs, when your SIM Card is connected to the iD Mobile Network, it will have been programmed so that you are able to use overseas networks to make calls and send MMS or SMS messages and data roam whilst overseas. In accordance with EU Roaming Regulations whilst roaming (both within and outside of the EU) you may be capped from exceeding the current data roaming spend limit which is £45 (excluding VAT) per month. If you want to have your data roaming spend limit uncapped, then you should visit iD Mobile's website for methods of contact - www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. Please note: the EU Roaming Regulations do not apply to iD Mobile, but we have decided to continue to offer you the benefits that they provide anyway.
4.3 If you use your SIM Card abroad, you will be charged for the calls that you receive as well as for those that you make except when you roam in the Economic European Area in which case, subject to our Fair Usage Policy, your voice and SMS usage will be charged at the same rate as the UK rate and your data allowance will be calculated in accordance with the EU Roaming Regulations. If your EU Roaming Use exceeds the EU Roaming Data Allowance (RDA), we may apply a Surcharge of £0.25 per MB of data used beyond the RDA, up to the amount your inclusive allowance under your Tariff. Use beyond your inclusive allowance will be charged under your Tariff. In respect of voice and SMS services, we may apply a Surcharge if we think you are roaming permanently, regardless of any allowance under your Tariff. Charges incurred using your roaming service may take longer to be charged than normal Charges. For details on surcharge and our Fair Usage Policy please visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming/fair-usage-policy
4.4 The Services are not guaranteed to be fault free and they may be impaired by things such as too many people trying to use the Network, geographical, topographical, atmospheric, or other conditions (including buildings, underpasses and other causes of interference) and/or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Overseas networks may also be limited in quality and coverage. Outside the EEA, access to overseas networks will depend upon the arrangements between the foreign operators and us, details of which are available on the Website and which may change from time to time.
4.5 The network coverage and the data speed will vary due to a number of factors including your location, local geography, congestion, your plan and the type of device that you are using. For example, you would only be able to use 5G services with a 5G-ready device, eligible plan and within the 5G coverage area. For more information please visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming/fair-usage-policy
4.6 If you experience continuous or recurring disruption of our Services or if there is a technical fault on our network that is caused by us, you may be entitled to a partial or full credit of your charges based on severity of the disruption caused and the number of days your Services remained disrupted. To receive credit of your charges, you must report to us the nature of the disruption you experienced as soon as reasonably practicable, and no later than 6 months after the disruption began. We will then investigate the severity and its impact on your Services against your typical usage history and take next steps to resolve the disruption reported.
4.7 We aim to connect your SIM Card to the Services within 14 days of accepting your order. If you place an order for an Additional Service or otherwise instruct us to change the Services (e.g. to bar calls) we will use reasonable endeavours to complete your order as soon as possible, but there may be a delay in your order being completed. We will not be liable to you for any costs, expenses or claims arising directly or indirectly out of such delay.
4.8 In the interest of other users, the number and duration of messages that can be left on your voicemail service will be limited. Please note that the confidentiality of your messages cannot be guaranteed. You must not record an abusive greeting message. You may not be able to use the voicemail service whilst abroad.
4.9 You may use the Services to access or link into websites, resources and/or networks worldwide. We accept no responsibility for the content, services or otherwise in respect of these and you agree to conform to the acceptable use policies of such websites, resources and/or networks.
4.10 By default, billing is provided through your iD Mobile online account at my.idmobile.co.uk/ and in the iD Mobile app. If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile website for methods of contact - www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus and we will arrange this for you.
4.11 On connection of your SIM Card to the Network (or at any time later on), we may set a credit limit on the Charges you may incur during each calendar month (we call this a "Credit Limit"). We shall give you notice if we change your Credit Limit. If you wish to vary your Credit Limit, you should visit iD Mobile's website for methods of contact - www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. We may agree to vary the Credit Limit after making credit checks and we may, pursuant to Clause 4.10, ask you to pay a deposit. If you go over your Credit Limit (and it may take us some time to check this, particularly if you are using your roaming service), we may suspend the Services until payment of all Charges (including any reconnection charge) has been made and you will, in attempting to make any call, be automatically diverted to our customer payments helpline to make a payment.
4.12 We may require you to pay a deposit for the Services or Additional Services. Such deposit will be reasonable, non-interest bearing, retained for a minimum period advised to you or until your final invoice has been paid following termination of this Agreement and Charges incurred by you may be offset against this deposit. If there is a remaining deposit after all Charges are recovered, we will refund the balance to you. At any time after the minimum period advised for holding your deposit, you may ask for a refund of your deposit, but this may result in us restricting the use or provision of the Services or reducing your Credit Limit.
4.13 Please note that the Credit Limit does not act as a cap to prevent further Charges arising and you may be able to incur Charges which result in you exceeding your Credit Limit, subject to clause 4.2 above when roaming. If this happens, you will still be liable to pay for all Charges incurred in excess of your Credit Limit. We may restrict your ability to purchase Additional Services based on your Credit Limit. Upgrades are at the sole discretion of iD and will be limited to the duration of your Minimum Period unless we notify you otherwise.
4.14 Devices sold directly from us as part of your current agreement are not locked to the iD Mobile network and this will continue even after your minimum contract term is complete. However, if you did not purchase the device you are using from us and is now locked following use of an iD mobile Sim, and you want it to be unlocked from our network, you can contact us and we can help to arrange for your device to be unlocked free of charge in an authorised manner. Prior to us arranging for your device to be unlocked, you must ensure that you have separate copies of any information, videos, pictures or other data on the device which you want to keep, as this will be lost during the device unlocking process. We will not be liable for any damage, loss or erasure of any such data. The software in the devices and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned or licensed by the manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the manufacturer.
4.15 You can use the Service to call the emergency services. Your number will be shown to the emergency operator. When making an emergency call, your location information will be provided to the emergency operator to the extent technically feasible.
4.16 If the PAC / N-PAC process is delayed, and the delay is our fault, you may be entitled to Porting Delay Compensation in the form of one-off reimbursement of a portion of your monthly line rental, in the form of an account credit.

Unless otherwise agreed, you must not reverse the charges on any telephone call or accept a reverse charged call. Where a Mobile Device is provided, you must only use such a device for connection to the Network and also comply with all relevant legislation relating to its use.

5.7 If the SIM Card is lost, stolen, damaged, destroyed or used in an unauthorised manner we may charge you the amount specified in the List of Charges for reconnection. You will be responsible for any Charges incurred as a result of unauthorised use of the Services and/or the SIM Card, or the information contained within your SIM Card, until you have notified us of the need to suspend the Services, e.g. as a result of your loss of your SIM Card.
5.8 You must:
5.8.1 take adequate precautions to prevent loss or theft of your SIM Card;
5.8.2 inform our customer services as soon as possible if you do lose your SIM Card.

5.9 We are providing the SIM Card and the Services solely for your own personal use (and not for any business purposes) and you may not re-sell or otherwise act as any form of distributor in respect of the SIM Card, the Content, the Services or your number, code or any associated number. You must not connect a GSM Gateway to the Network or otherwise establish, install or use a GSM Gateway in relation to the Network or the Services without our prior written consent, which may be withheld at our absolute discretion.
5.10 You must tell us immediately if anyone makes or threatens to make any claim or issues legal proceedings against you relating to your use of the Services or the Content and you will, at our request, immediately stop the act or acts complained of.

6.1 Occasionally we may have to:
6.1.1 alter the mobile phone number or any other name, code or number or technical specification associated with the Services for reasons beyond our control such as where requested to do so by a governmental or regulatory body or where we reasonably believe that the alteration will enhance your use of the Services.

6.3 If we believe that we may be unable to continue to provide the Services on a particular network for any reason, such as planned or unplanned incidents impacting Services, we may transfer the mobile phone number to another network.

11. Special Feature(s)
11.1 Capping: All pay monthly plans purchased after 15th June 2017 have a cap applied.
11.1.1 This means that the out of bundle Charges you pay each month shall not be more than the monthly line rental plus the capped amount (as specified in your Tariff Summary). For example, if your monthly line rental is £10.00 per month and your selected capped amount is £5.00, the total Charges you will have to pay will never be more than £15.00 each month. Capping does not apply to the purchase of certain Services such as add-ons or paper billing.
11.1.2 Once you have reached the capped amount, you will only be able to use your remaining inclusive or add-on allowances.
11.1.3 Subject to credit status, you may be able to increase your capped amount using our mobile app or through ‘My iD’ online account. You shall be responsible for any increases to your Capped Amount, regardless of whether or not you authorised it.

11.2.4 The maximum call duration per call on TakeAway is 120 minutes. After this time, you must redial the call to continue.
11.2.5 iD Mobile reserves the right to extend, withdraw or modify TakeAway and/or the countries included at any time.

11.3.1 Rollover may be included as a feature of your tariff or may be a chargeable service that can be added to your tariff. In the case of the latter, Rollover can only be added to your tariff at point of sale.
11.3.2 Only your inclusive data allowances are eligible for rollover. Any Additional Services or reward allowances that you have included in your Tariff are not considered to be part of your monthly inclusive allowance. This means that if you purchase any Additional Services allowances and receive any reward allowances, they will not eligible for Rollover and will be subject to their individual terms and conditions.
11.3.3 If your tariff has an unlimited data allowance, it will not be eligible for Rollover. If your account is not up-to-date and is subject to credit control or your account is suspended you will not be eligible for Rollover until your account is up-to-date or reinstated.

11.4 Data Cushion is a free data Additional Service, valid for 24 months from date of purchase.
11.4.1 You can use all or part of the Data Cushion in any month but only when your monthly Data allowance (inclusive bundle data and other data Additional Service) has been used.

12. Charges
12.1 The Charges for the Services will be calculated in accordance with your Tariff and our List of Charges using the details we have recorded. The List of Charges may change from time to time.
12.2 We will provide Post Pay customers with regular notifications prompting customers to access their bill via the free iD Mobile app or idmobile.co.uk/myid. A full itemisation of the Charges incurred and usage can be accessed If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus and we will arrange this for you or alternatively you can request a bill in paper format by using the iD Mobile app.
12.3 You must pay to us all the Charges arising under this Agreement whether incurred by you or anyone else using your Mobile Device and/or SIM Card with or without your knowledge at the times and in the manner set out in this Agreement even when such Charges exceed any Credit Limit imposed upon your account.
12.4 Calls made by Post Pay customers in the UK to eligible UK numbers are charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 60 second minimum charge.
12.5 For all customers, calls made in the UK to eligible international numbers are charged in one minute increments rounded up to the nearest minute.
12.6 When roaming in the EEA, charges for calls you make will be charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 30 second minimum charge. When roaming other than in the EEA, you will be charged for the calls you make and receive by the minute or less and any part minute will be rounded up to the nearest whole minute or less. This is dependent on the location you are roaming in. Details of these charges will be set out in our List of Charges. MMS or SMS messages made outside the EEA may be charged other than in whole penny increments. Within the EEA, SMS messages will be deducted from your domestic allowance and MMS, from your data allowance.
12.7 Data usage made by Post Pay customers are charged or deducted in one kilobyte (KB) increments and any part KB used will be rounded up to the nearest KB.
12.8 Unless otherwise stated, call prices are quoted by the minute and include VAT. Each call is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny, each MMS or SMS is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest tenth of a penny. VAT is then added where applicable and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny. An invoice including the rate of VAT charged and our VAT number can be provided upon written request for Post Pay customers (this may be chargeable).
12.9 Your first month’s line rental after the beginning of the Minimum Period is likely to be less or more than the amount stated in your Tariff, as monthly Charges incurred for, and inclusive allowances in respect of, periods of less or more than one month will be calculated on a pro rata basis and billed to you accordingly. Regardless of when the call is commenced, Charges will be applied according to your Tariff and our List of Charges for each chargeable period the call is active.
12.10 Any unused inclusive allowances may not be carried forward from one month to the next unless expressly stated by us. In this context "monthly" or "month" means your monthly billing period, which may not equate to a calendar month. Eligible Calls will be set against inclusive allowances in the order in which such Eligible Calls are made.
12.11 Calls to your voicemail and any of our customer service lines will be chargeable in accordance with the Tariff and may be deducted from any monthly allowances. When using call return (returning a call when directly within your voicemail service), you will be charged for both the voicemail call and the call return call throughout the duration of the returned call. Call return calls will be deducted from any inclusive allowance, where appropriate. The call return charge is calculated as the rate for that Tariff, as if you had hung up and dialled direct for the returned call, less the voicemail charge. The minimum call rate on call return is the same as the voicemail rate. For Post Pay Tariffs, calls to voicemail 123 are decremented from your inclusive allowance.
12.12 A standard text message contains up to 160 characters. Some Mobile Devices allow you to send messages of more than 160 characters, in which case the message will be divided into the number of messages required to convey the message and each such message will be charged at the standard text message rate. Some Mobile Devices convert messages of more than 160 characters or group messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. When including an email address and / or special characters including, but not limited to emojis within a standard text message, some Mobile Devices convert these messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. Standard text message prices exclude premium rate, international, roaming, reverse charged and long text messages. Only standard text messages are included in inclusive SMS allowances.
12.13 Using MMS you can send long text messages, picture messages and video messages. A long text message, picture message and video message is limited to a maximum size of 295kb. If a message contains multiple media items you will be charged for the most expensive item in the message, for example, send a message containing a picture and video clip you are charged the video message price. Should you wish to prevent incurring charges for MMS, you must switch off the MMS function on your device or adjust the settings so that you are warned if an MMS is about to be sent. Please refer to your device manual for further information.
12.14 For Post Pay Tariffs, charges are payable to us by Direct Debit on the dates notified to you following acceptance of your order. You must pay the charges within 14 days of the date of any bill. Failure to pay on time will result in a £5.00 collections administration fee (see List of Charges) being applied to your account. Should your direct debit fail, you may use an alternative payment method to pay; please contact us to arrange this.
12.15 If a Direct Debit or other Payment Method is dishonoured or cancelled, we shall be entitled to charge you as compensation for our losses an amount equal to the costs that we incur as a result of such dishonoured or cancelled Direct Debit or other Payment Method (which may include third party charges levied on us).

Interest is charged on a per annum basis, calculated daily. Overdue payments will also be subject to a collections administration fee (see List of Charges), regardless of the payment method you choose. Should any overdue payment remain unpaid, we reserve the right to forward / sell the overdue balance to a debt collection agency.
12.17 If we advise you of the amount due on your account from time to time this is an estimate based on the information we have received to date.
12.18 We may arrange for bills or invoices to be issued by a third party on our behalf. Bills or invoices issued by such third party shall be binding on you and payment of such bills or invoices in full to the third party where directed to do so will be a valid discharge of your liability to pay such bills or invoices under this Agreement.
12.19 If you change Tariff for any reason e.g. when Upgrading or moving to a promotional offer, any unused allowances will be lost.
12.20 If we provide you with a credit to your account (for example as a goodwill gesture), such credit will be deducted from your Charges until the credit has been used. These credits cannot be redeemed for cash and any unused credits are non-refundable upon disconnection of your Service or termination of this Agreement.
12.21 You will have to pay for SIM Cards or replacement SIM Cards at the price as stated in our List of Charges at that time.
12.22 Additional call, text and/or data charges may apply when used outside the UK and the EEA. Data usage in the EEA is subject to our Fair Use Policy available on our Website at https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming/fair-usage-policy.
12.23 The charges you pay will increase by a percentage comprised of i) the annual percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate of inflation plus ii) 3.9%. The CPI rate is set by the Office of National Statistics. We will adjust Charges with effect from your April bill after the CPI Rate is announced for the previous 12 months to February. The Charges will be adjusted by multiplying them by (1 + (CPI Rate + 3.9%)), whereby the CPI Rate is a %.

If you are connected to the digital network, your communications over the air interface with our systems are encrypted providing a greater level of protection, but even this cannot be guaranteed. Please also read carefully the instructions provided with your Mobile Device. Depending upon the manufacturer and model, your Mobile Device may send information stored on it and receive information to and from certain third parties without your knowledge.

3.2 If you take an Upgrade from us, this will start a new Minimum Period running, and this may end later than the end of the previous Minimum Period.
4. Provision of the Services
4.1 The Services may not be available in all parts of the United Kingdom or abroad. You may not be able to use the Services which we agree to provide to you to call all countries or all international numbers. Unless otherwise agreed, the Services do not include call divert or call waiting. We reserve the right to add to, substitute, or discontinue any Additional Services at any time. We do not guarantee that we will continue to provide any particular Additional Services. Not all mobile devices will be able to receive the Services. If you buy a SIM Only tariff from us, your current device may be restricted to use on another network or 'locked' and you may need to obtain an unlocking code from your current service provider to be able to receive the Services. Failure to enter the correct unlocking code may result in your device becoming permanently blocked.
4.2 We will provide you with roaming services in the EEA in accordance with applicable legislation. For Post-Pay Tariffs, when your SIM Card is connected to the iD Mobile Network, it will have been programmed so that you are able to use overseas networks to make calls and send MMS or SMS messages and data roam whilst overseas. In accordance with EU Roaming Regulations whilst roaming (both within and outside of the EU) you may be capped from exceeding the current data roaming spend limit which is £45 (excluding VAT) per month. If you want to have your data roaming spend limit uncapped, then you should visit iD Mobile's website for methods of contact - www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. Please note: the EU Roaming Regulations do not apply to iD Mobile, but we have decided to continue to offer you the benefits that they provide anyway.
4.3 If you use your SIM Card abroad, you will be charged for the calls that you receive as well as for those that you make except when you roam in the Economic European Area in which case, subject to our Fair Usage Policy, your voice and SMS usage will be charged at the same rate as the UK rate and your data allowance will be calculated in accordance with the EU Roaming Regulations. If your EU Roaming Use exceeds the EU Roaming Data Allowance (RDA), we may apply a Surcharge of £0.25 per MB of data used beyond the RDA, up to the amount your inclusive allowance under your Tariff. Use beyond your inclusive allowance will be charged under your Tariff. In respect of voice and SMS services, we may apply a Surcharge if we think you are roaming permanently, regardless of any allowance under your Tariff. Charges incurred using your roaming service may take longer to be charged than normal Charges. For details on surcharge and our Fair Usage Policy please visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming/fair-usage-policy
4.4 The Services are not guaranteed to be fault free and they may be impaired by things such as too many people trying to use the Network, geographical, topographical, atmospheric, or other conditions (including buildings, underpasses and other causes of interference) and/or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Overseas networks may also be limited in quality and coverage. Outside the EEA, access to overseas networks will depend upon the arrangements between the foreign operators and us, details of which are available on the Website and which may change from time to time.
4.5 The network coverage and the data speed will vary due to a number of factors including your location, local geography, congestion, your plan and the type of device that you are using. For example, you would only be able to use 5G services with a 5G-ready device, eligible plan and within the 5G coverage area. For more information please visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/coverage
4.6 If you experience continuous or recurring disruption of our Services or if there is a technical fault on our network that is caused by us, you may be entitled to a partial or full credit of your charges based on severity of the disruption caused and the number of days your Services remained disrupted. To receive credit of your charges, you must report to us the nature of the disruption you experienced as soon as reasonably practicable, and no later than 6 months after the disruption began. We will then investigate the severity and its impact on your Services against your typical usage history and take next steps to resolve the disruption reported.
4.7 We aim to connect your SIM Card to the Services within 14 days of accepting your order. If you place an order for an Additional Service or otherwise instruct us to change the Services (e.g. to bar calls) we will use reasonable endeavours to complete your order as soon as possible, but there may be a delay in your order being completed. We will not be liable to you for any costs, expenses or claims arising directly or indirectly out of such delay.
4.8 In the interest of other users, the number and duration of messages that can be left on your voicemail service will be limited. Please note that the confidentiality of your messages cannot be guaranteed. You must not record an abusive greeting message. You may not be able to use the voicemail service whilst abroad.
4.9 You may use the Services to access or link into websites, resources and/or networks worldwide. We accept no responsibility for the content, services or otherwise in respect of these and you agree to conform to the acceptable use policies of such websites, resources and/or networks.
4.10 By default, billing is provided through your iD Mobile online account at my.idmobile.co.uk/ and in the iD Mobile app. If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile website for methods of contact - www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus and we will arrange this for you.
4.11 On connection of your SIM Card to the Network (or at any time later on), we may set a credit limit on the Charges you may incur during each calendar month (we call this a "Credit Limit"). We shall give you notice if we change your Credit Limit. If you wish to vary your Credit Limit, you should visit iD Mobile's website for methods of contact - www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. We may agree to vary the Credit Limit after making credit checks and we may, pursuant to Clause 4.10, ask you to pay a deposit. If you go over your Credit Limit (and it may take us some time to check this, particularly if you are using your roaming service), we may suspend the Services until payment of all Charges (including any reconnection charge) has been made and you will, in attempting to make any call, be automatically diverted to our customer payments helpline to make a payment.
4.12 We may require you to pay a deposit for the Services or Additional Services. Such deposit will be reasonable, non-interest bearing, retained for a minimum period advised to you or until your final invoice has been paid following termination of this Agreement and Charges incurred by you may be offset against this deposit. If there is a remaining deposit after all Charges are recovered, we will refund the balance to you. At any time after the minimum period advised for holding your deposit, you may ask for a refund of your deposit, but this may result in us restricting the use or provision of the Services or reducing your Credit Limit.
4.13 Please note that the Credit Limit does not act as a cap to prevent further Charges arising and you may be able to incur Charges which result in you exceeding your Credit Limit, subject to clause 4.2 above when roaming. If this happens, you will still be liable to pay for all Charges incurred in excess of your Credit Limit. We may restrict your ability to purchase Additional Services based on your Credit Limit. Upgrades are at the sole discretion of iD and will be limited to the duration of your Minimum Period unless we notify you otherwise.
4.14 Devices sold directly from us as part of your current agreement are not locked to the iD Mobile network and this will continue even after your minimum contract term is complete. However, if you did not purchase the device you are using from us and is now locked following use of an iD mobile Sim, and you want it to be unlocked from our network, you can contact us and we can help to arrange for your device to be unlocked free of charge in an authorised manner. Prior to us arranging for your device to be unlocked, you must ensure that you have separate copies of any information, videos, pictures or other data on the device which you want to keep, as this will be lost during the device unlocking process. We will not be liable for any damage, loss or erasure of any such data. The software in the devices and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned or licensed by the manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the manufacturer.
4.15 You can use the Service to call the emergency services. Your number will be shown to the emergency operator. When making an emergency call, your location information will be provided to the emergency operator to the extent technically feasible.
4.16 If the PAC / N-PAC process is delayed, and the delay is our fault, you may be entitled to Porting Delay Compensation in the form of one-off reimbursement of a portion of your monthly line rental, in the form of an account credit.

For example, if your monthly line rental is £10.00 per month and your selected capped amount is £5.00, the total Charges you will have to pay will never be more than £15.00 each month.

11.4 Data Cushion is a free data Additional Service, valid for 24 months from date of purchase.
11.4.1 You can use all or part of the Data Cushion in any month but only when your monthly Data allowance (inclusive bundle data and other data Additional Service) has been used.

A full itemisation of the Charges incurred and usage can be accessed If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile website for methods of contact - www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus and we will arrange this for you or alternatively you can request a bill in paper format by using the iD Mobile app.
12.3 You must pay to us all the Charges arising under this Agreement whether incurred by you or anyone else using your Mobile Device and/or SIM Card with or without your knowledge at the times and in the manner set out in this Agreement even when such Charges exceed any Credit Limit imposed upon your account.
12.4 Calls made by Post Pay customers in the UK to eligible UK numbers are charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 60 second minimum charge.
12.5 For all customers, calls made in the UK to eligible international numbers are charged in one minute increments rounded up to the nearest minute.
12.6 When roaming in the EEA, charges for calls you make will be charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 30 second minimum charge. When roaming other than in the EEA, you will be charged for the calls you make and receive by the minute or less and any part minute will be rounded up to the nearest whole minute or less. This is dependent on the location you are roaming in. Details of these charges will be set out in our List of Charges. MMS or SMS messages made outside the EEA may be charged other than in whole penny increments. Within the EEA, SMS messages will be deducted from your domestic allowance and MMS, from your data allowance.

12.8 Unless otherwise stated, call prices are quoted by the minute and include VAT. Each call is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny, each MMS or SMS is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest tenth of a penny. VAT is then added where applicable and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny. An invoice including the rate of VAT charged and our VAT number can be provided upon written request for Post Pay customers (this may be chargeable).
12.9 Your first month's line rental after the beginning of the Minimum Period is likely to be less or more than the amount stated in your Tariff, as monthly Charges incurred for, and inclusive allowances in respect of, periods of less or more than one month will be calculated on a pro rata basis and billed to you accordingly.

12.10 Any unused inclusive allowances may not be carried forward from one month to the next unless expressly stated by us. In this context "monthly" or "month" means your monthly billing period, which may not equate to a calendar month. Eligible Calls will be set against inclusive allowances in the order in which such Eligible Calls are made.
12.11 Calls to your voicemail and any of our customer service lines will be chargeable in accordance with the Tariff and may be deducted from any monthly allowances. When using call return (returning a call when directly within your voicemail service), you will be charged for both the voicemail call and the call return call throughout the duration of the returned call. Call return calls will be deducted from any inclusive allowance, where appropriate. The call return charge is calculated as the rate for that Tariff, as if you had hung up and dialled direct for the returned call, less the voicemail charge. The minimum call rate on call return is the same as the voicemail rate. For Post Pay Tariffs, calls to voicemail 123 are decremented from your inclusive allowance.
12.12 A standard text message contains up to 160 characters. Some Mobile Devices allow you to send messages of more than 160 characters, in which case the message will be divided into the number of messages required to convey the message and each such message will be charged at the standard text message rate. Some Mobile Devices convert messages of more than 160 characters or group messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. When including an email address and / or special characters including, but not limited to emojis within a standard text message, some Mobile Devices convert these messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. Standard text message prices exclude premium rate, international, roaming, reverse charged and long text messages. Only standard text messages are included in inclusive SMS allowances.
12.13 Using MMS you can send long text messages, picture messages and video messages. A long text message, picture message and video message is limited to a maximum size of 295kb.

Should you wish to prevent incurring charges for MMS, you must switch off the MMS function on your device or adjust the settings so that you are warned if an MMS is about to be sent. Please refer to your device manual for further information.
12.14 For Post Pay Tariffs, charges are payable to us by Direct Debit on the dates notified to you following acceptance of your order. You must pay the charges within 14 days of the date of any bill.

Should your direct debit fail, you may use an alternative payment method to pay; please contact us to arrange this.
12.15 If a Direct Debit or other Payment Method is dishonoured or cancelled, we shall be entitled to charge you as compensation for our losses an amount equal to the costs that we incur as a result of such dishonoured or cancelled Direct Debit or other Payment Method (which may include third party charges levied on us).

Interest is charged on a per annum basis, calculated daily. Overdue payments will also be subject to a collections administration fee (see List of Charges), regardless of the payment method you choose. Should any overdue payment remain unpaid, we reserve the right to forward / sell the overdue balance to a debt collection agency.
12.17 If we advise you of the amount due on your account from time to time this is an estimate based on the information we have received to date.
12.18 We may arrange for bills or invoices to be issued by a third party on our behalf. Bills or invoices issued by such third party shall be binding on you and payment of such bills or invoices in full to the third party where directed to do so will be a valid discharge of your liability to pay such bills or invoices under this Agreement.
12.19 If you change Tariff for any reason e.g. when Upgrading or moving to a promotional offer, any unused allowances will be lost.
12.20 If we provide you with a credit to your account (for example as a goodwill gesture), such credit will be deducted from your Charges until the credit has been used. These credits cannot be redeemed for cash and any unused credits are non-refundable upon disconnection of your Service or termination of this Agreement.
12.21 You will have to pay for SIM Cards or replacement SIM Cards at the price as stated in our List of Charges at that time.
12.22 Additional call, text and/or data charges may apply when used outside the UK and the EEA. Data usage in the EEA is subject to our Fair Use Policy available on our Website at https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming/fair-usage-policy
12.23 The Charges you pay will adjust in line with changes to the Retail Price Index Rate (RPI Rate) set by the Office of National Statistics. We will adjust Charges with effect in your April bill after the RPI Rate is announced for the previous 12 months to February. The Charges will be adjusted by multiplying them by 1 + RPI Rate (as a percentage). We will publish the RPI Rate on our website at www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/retail-price-index as soon as it becomes available. Any price increase under this Clause will not give you a No Fee Right to Exit.

4.10 By default, billing is provided through your iD Mobile online account at my.idmobile.co.uk/ and in the iD Mobile app. If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus and we will arrange this for you.
4.11 On connection of your SIM Card to the Network (or at any time later on), we may set a credit limit on the Charges you may incur during each calendar month (we call this a "Credit Limit"). We shall give you notice if we change your Credit Limit. If you wish to vary your Credit Limit, you should visit iD Mobile s website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus.
We may agree to vary the Credit Limit after making credit checks and we may, pursuant to Clause 4.10, ask you to pay a deposit. If you go over your Credit Limit (and it may take us some time to check this, particularly if you are using your roaming service), we may suspend the Services until payment of all Charges (including any reconnection charge) has been made and you will, in attempting to make any call, be automatically diverted to our customer payments helpline to make a payment.
4.12 We may require you to pay a deposit for the Services or Additional Services. Such deposit will be reasonable, non-interest bearing, retained for a minimum period advised to you or until your final invoice has been paid following termination of this Agreement and Charges incurred by you may be offset against this deposit. If there is a remaining deposit after all Charges are recovered, we will refund the balance to you. At any time after the minimum period advised for holding your deposit, you may ask for a refund of your deposit, but this may result in us restricting the use or provision of the Services or reducing your Credit Limit (defined below).
4.13 Please note that the Credit Limit does not act as a cap to prevent further Charges arising and you may be able to incur Charges which result in you exceeding your Credit Limit, subject to clause 4.2 above when roaming. If this happens, you will still be liable to pay for all Charges incurred in excess of your Credit Limit. We may restrict your ability to purchase Additional Services based on your Credit Limit. Upgrades are at the sole discretion of iD and will be subject to Minimum Period duration unless we notify you otherwise.
4.14 Devices sold directly from us as part of your current agreement are not locked. However, if the device you are using is purchased elsewhere and is now locked following use of an iD mobile Sim, and you want it to be unlocked from our network, you can contact us and we can help to arrange for your device to be unlocked free of charge in an authorised manner. Prior to us arranging for your device to be unlocked, you must ensure that you have separate copies of any information, videos, pictures or other data on the device which you want to keep, as this will be lost during the device unlocking process. We will not be liable for any damage, loss or erasure of any such data. The software in the devices and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned or licensed by the manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the manufacturer
4.15 You can use the Service to call the emergency services. Your number will be shown to the emergency operator. When making an emergency call, your location information will be provided to the emergency operator to the extent technically feasible.

6.1 Occasionally we may have to:
6.1.1 alter the mobile phone number or any other name, code or number or technical specification associated with the Services for reasons beyond our control such as where requested to do so by a governmental or regulatory body or where we reasonably believe that the alteration will enhance your use of the Services.

On transfer, we will attempt to continue to make available to you the Services, or similar services.

8.8 We may suspend the Services where you exceed the Credit Limit or where you do anything that would entitle us to terminate this Agreement (in which case, if we do this we can still terminate if we wish). We reserve the right not to provide them again until you provide adequate confirmation that you will stop breaching this Agreement. We will continue to provide access to emergency services.

11.4 Data Cushion is a free data Additional Service, valid for 24 months from date of purchase.
11.4.1 You can use all or part of the Data Cushion in any month but only when your monthly Data allowance (inclusive bundle data and other data Additional Service) has been used.

12. Charges
12.1 The Charges for the Services will be calculated in accordance with your Tariff and our List of Charges using the details we have recorded. The List of Charges may change from time to time.
12.2 We will provide Post Pay customers with regular notifications prompting customers to access their bill via the free iD Mobile app or idmobile.co.uk/myid. A full itemisation of the Charges incurred and usage can be accessed If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus and we will arrange this for you or alternatively you can request a bill in paper format by using the iD Mobile app.
12.3 You must pay to us all the Charges arising under this Agreement whether incurred by you or anyone else using your Mobile Device and/or SIM Card with or without your knowledge at the times and in the manner set out in this Agreement even when such Charges exceed any Credit Limit imposed upon your account.
12.4 Calls made by Post Pay customers in the UK to eligible UK numbers are charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 60 second minimum charge.
12.5 For all customers, calls made in the UK to eligible international numbers are charged in one minute increments rounded up to the nearest minute.
12.6 When roaming in the EEA, charges for calls you make will be charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 30 second minimum charge. When roaming other than in the EEA, you will be charged for the calls you make and receive by the minute or less and any part minute will be rounded up to the nearest whole minute or less. This is dependent on the location you are roaming in. Details of these charges will be set out in our List of Charges. MMS or SMS messages made outside the EEA may be charged other than in whole penny increments. Within the EEA, SMS messages will be deducted from your domestic allowance and MMS, from your data allowance.
12.7 Data usage made by Post Pay customers are charged or deducted in one kilobyte (KB) increments and any part KB used will be rounded up to the nearest KB.
12.8 Unless otherwise stated, call prices are quoted by the minute and include VAT. Each call is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny, each MMS or SMS is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest tenth of a penny. VAT is then added where applicable and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny. An invoice including the rate of VAT charged and our VAT number can be provided upon written request for Post Pay customers (this may be chargeable).
12.9 Your first month’s line rental after the beginning of the Minimum Period is likely to be less or more than the amount stated in your Tariff, as monthly Charges incurred for, and inclusive allowances in respect of, periods of less or more than one month will be calculated on a pro rata basis and billed to you accordingly. Regardless of when the call is commenced, Charges will be applied according to your Tariff and our List of Charges for each chargeable period the call is active.
12.10 Any unused inclusive allowances may not be carried forward from one month to the next unless expressly stated by us. In this context "monthly" or "month" means your monthly billing period, which may not equate to a calendar month. Eligible Calls will be set against inclusive allowances in the order in which such Eligible Calls are made.
12.11 Calls to your voicemail and any of our customer service lines will be chargeable in accordance with the Tariff and may be deducted from any monthly allowances. When using call return (returning a call when directly within your voicemail service), you will be charged for both the voicemail call and the call return call throughout the duration of the returned call. Call return calls will be deducted from any inclusive allowance, where appropriate. The call return charge is calculated as the rate for that Tariff, as if you had hung up and dialled direct for the returned call, less the voicemail charge. The minimum call rate on call return is the same as the voicemail rate. For Post Pay Tariffs, calls to voicemail 123 are decremented from your inclusive allowance.
12.12 A standard text message contains up to 160 characters. Some Mobile Devices allow you to send messages of more than 160 characters, in which case the message will be divided into the number of messages required to convey the message and each such message will be charged at the standard text message rate. Some Mobile Devices convert messages of more than 160 characters or group messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. When including an email address and / or special characters including, but not limited to emojis within a standard text message, some Mobile Devices convert these messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. Standard text message prices exclude premium rate, international, roaming, reverse charged and long text messages. Only standard text messages are included in inclusive SMS allowances.
12.13 Using MMS you can send long text messages, picture messages and video messages. A long text message, picture message and video message is limited to a maximum size of 295kb. If a message contains multiple media items you will be charged for the most expensive item in the message, for example, send a message containing a picture and video clip you are charged the video message price. Should you wish to prevent incurring charges for MMS, you must switch off the MMS function on your device or adjust the settings so that you are warned if an MMS is about to be sent. Please refer to your device manual for further information.
12.14 For Post Pay Tariffs, charges are payable to us by Direct Debit on the dates notified to you following acceptance of your order. You must pay the charges within 14 days of the date of any bill. Failure to pay on time will result in a £5.00 collections administration fee (see List of Charges) being applied to your account. Should your direct debit fail, you may use an alternative payment method to pay, contact us for details
12.15 If a Direct Debit or other Payment Method is dishonoured or cancelled, we shall be entitled to charge you as compensation for our losses an amount equal to the costs that we incur as a result of such dishonoured or cancelled Direct Debit or other Payment Method (which may include third party charges levied on us).
12.16 For any overdue payments we may charge interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 2% above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank Plc as published from time to time. Interest is charged on a per annum basis, calculated daily. Overdue payments will also be subject to a collections administration fee (see List of Charges), regardless of the payment method you choose. Should any overdue payment remain unpaid, we reserve the right to forward / sell the overdue balance to a debt collection agency.
12.17 If we advise you of the amount due on your account from time to time this is an estimate based on the information we have received to date.
12.18 We may arrange for bills or invoices to be issued by a third party on our behalf. Bills or invoices issued by such third party shall be binding on you and payment of such bills or invoices in full to the third party where directed to do so will be a valid discharge of your liability to pay such bills or invoices under this Agreement.
12.19 If you change Tariff for any reason e.g. when Upgrading or moving to a promotional offer, any unused allowances will be lost.
12.20 If we provide you with a credit to your account (for example as a goodwill gesture), such credit will be deducted from your Charges until the credit has been used.

2.1 This Agreement covers the Services. It does not cover anything else you might buy from us.
3. Duration
3.1 This Agreement will continue for the Minimum Period and will continue to apply after that unless and until either of us terminates it in accordance with Clause 8 below.
3.2 If you take an Upgrade from us, this will start a new Minimum Period running, and this may end later than after the previous Minimum Period.
4. Provision of the Services
4.1 The Services may not be available in all parts of the United Kingdom or abroad. You may not be able to use the Services which we agree to provide to you to call all countries or all international numbers. Unless otherwise agreed, the Services do not include call divert or call waiting. We reserve the right to add to, substitute, or to discontinue any Additional Services at any time. We do not guarantee that we will continue to provide any particular Additional Services. Not all mobile devices will be able to receive the Services. If you buy a SIM Only tariff from us, your current device may be restricted to use on another network or ‘locked’ and you may need to obtain an unlocking code from your current service provider to be able to receive the Services. Failure to enter the correct unlocking code may result in your device becoming permanently blocked. We accept no responsibility for devices blocked in this way or for any costs incurred in the provision of an unlocking code.
4.2 We will provide you with roaming services in the EEA in accordance with applicable legislation. For Post-Pay Tariffs, when your SIM Card is connected to the iD Mobile Network, it will have been programmed so that you are able to use overseas networks to make calls and send MMS or SMS messages and data roam whilst overseas. In accordance with EU Roaming Regulations you may be capped from exceeding the current data roaming spend limit. If you want to have your data roaming spend limit uncapped, then you should visit iD Mobile’s website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus.
4.3 If you use your SIM Card abroad, you will be charged for the calls that you receive as well as for those that you make except when you roam in the Economic European Area in which case, subject to our Fair Use Policy, your voice and SMS usage will be charged at the same rate as the UK rate and your data allowance will be calculated in accordance with the EU Roaming Regulations. Charges incurred using your roaming service may take longer to be charged than normal Charges.
4.4 The Services are not guaranteed to be fault free and they may be impaired by things such as too many people trying to use the Network, geographical, topographical, atmospheric, or other conditions (including buildings, underpasses and other causes of interference) and/or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Overseas networks may also be limited in quality and coverage. Outside the EEA, access to overseas networks will depend upon the arrangements between the foreign operators and us, details of which are available on the Website and which may change from time to time.
4.5 The network coverage and the data speed will vary due to a number of factors including your location, local geography, congestion, your plan and the type of device that you are using. For example, you would only be able to use 5G services with a 5G ready device, eligible plan and within the 5G coverage area. For more information please visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/coverage.
4.6 If you experience continuous or recurring disruption of our services or if there is a technical fault on our network that is caused by us, you may be entitled to a partial or full credit of your charges based on severity of the disruption caused and the number of days your services remained disrupted. To receive credit of your charges, you must report to us the nature of the disruption you experienced as soon as reasonably practicable, and no later than 6 months after the disruption began. We will then investigate the severity and its impact on your services against your typical usage history and take next steps to resolve the disruption reported.
4.7 We aim to connect your SIM Card to the Services within 14 days of accepting your order. If you place an order for an Additional Service or otherwise instruct us to change the Services (e.g. to bar calls) we will use reasonable endeavours to complete your order as soon as possible, but there may be a delay in your order being completed. We will not be liable to you for any costs, expenses or claims arising directly or indirectly out of such delay.
4.8 In the interest of other users, the number and duration of messages that can be left on your voicemail service will be limited. Please note that the confidentiality of your messages cannot be guaranteed. You must not record an abusive greeting message. You may not be able to use the voicemail service whilst abroad.
4.9 You may use the Services to access or link into websites, resources and/or networks worldwide. We accept no responsibility for the content, services or otherwise in respect of these and you agree to conform to the acceptable use policies of such websites, resources and/or networks.
4.10 By default, billing is provided through your iD Mobile online account at my.idmobile.co.uk/ and in the iD Mobile app. If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus and we will arrange this for you.
4.11 On connection of your SIM Card to the Network (or at any time later on), we may set a credit limit on the Charges you may incur during each calendar month (we call this a "Credit Limit"). We shall give you notice if we change your Credit Limit. If you wish to vary your Credit Limit, you should visit iD Mobile s website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. We may agree to vary the Credit Limit after making credit checks and we may, pursuant to Clause 4.10, ask you to pay a deposit. If you go over your Credit Limit (and it may take us some time to check this, particularly if you are using your roaming service), we may suspend the Services until payment of all Charges (including any reconnection charge) has been made and you will, in attempting to make any call, be automatically diverted to our customer payments helpline to make a payment.
4.12 We may require you to pay a deposit for the Services or Additional Services. Such deposit will be reasonable, non-interest bearing, retained for a minimum period advised to you or until your final invoice has been paid following termination of this Agreement and Charges incurred by you may be offset against this deposit. If there is a remaining deposit after all Charges are recovered, we will refund the balance to you. At any time after the minimum period advised for holding your deposit, you may ask for a refund of your deposit, but this may result in us restricting the use or provision of the Services or reducing your Credit Limit (defined below).
4.13 Please note that the Credit Limit does not act as a cap to prevent further Charges arising and you may be able to incur Charges which result in you exceeding your Credit Limit, subject to clause 4.2 above when roaming. If this happens, you will still be liable to pay for all Charges incurred in excess of your Credit Limit. We may restrict your ability to purchase Additional Services based on your Credit Limit. Upgrades are at the sole discretion of iD and will be subject to Minimum Period duration unless we notify you otherwise.
4.14 Devices which can be used to access the Services may be locked to our network. The software in the devices and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned or licensed by the manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the manufacturer. Following the Minimum Period, if your device is locked and you want it to be unlocked from our network, you can contact us and we can help to arrange for your device to be unlocked (where we are able to) in an authorised manner. Prior to us arranging for your device to be unlocked, you must ensure that have separate copies of any information, videos, pictures or other data on the device which you want to keep, as this will be lost during the device unlocking process. We will not be liable for any damage, loss or erasure of any such data.
4.15 You can use the Service to call the emergency services. Your number will be shown to the emergency operator. When making an emergency call, your location information will be provided to the emergency operator to the extent technically feasible.
4.16 If the PAC / N-PAC process is delayed, and the delay is our fault, you may be entitled to Porting Delay Compensation in the form of one-off reimbursement of a portion of your monthly line rental, in the form of an account credit.

An invoice including the rate of VAT charged and our VAT number can be provided upon written request for Post Pay customers (this may be chargeable).
12.9 Your first month’s line rental after the beginning of the Minimum Period is likely to be less or more than the amount stated in your Tariff, as monthly Charges incurred for, and inclusive allowances in respect of, periods of less or more than one month will be calculated on a pro rata basis and billed to you accordingly. Regardless of when the call is commenced, Charges will be applied according to your Tariff and our List of Charges for each chargeable period the call is active.
12.10 Any unused inclusive allowances may not be carried forward from one month to the next unless expressly stated by us. In this context "monthly" or "month" means your monthly billing period, which may not equate to a calendar month. Eligible Calls will be set against inclusive allowances in the order in which such Eligible Calls are made.
12.11 Calls to your voicemail and any of our customer service lines will be chargeable in accordance with the Tariff and may be deducted from any monthly allowances. When using call return (returning a call when directly within your voicemail service), you will be charged for both the voicemail call and the call return call throughout the duration of the returned call. Call return calls will be deducted from any inclusive allowance, where appropriate. The call return charge is calculated as the rate for that Tariff, as if you had hung up and dialled direct for the returned call, less the voicemail charge. The minimum call rate on call return is the same as the voicemail rate. For Post Pay Tariffs, calls to voicemail 123 are decremented from your inclusive allowance.
12.12 A standard text message contains up to 160 characters. Some Mobile Devices allow you to send messages of more than 160 characters, in which case the message will be divided into the number of messages required to convey the message and each such message will be charged at the standard text message rate. Some Mobile Devices convert messages of more than 160 characters or group messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. When including an email address and / or special characters including, but not limited to emojis within a standard text message, some Mobile Devices convert these messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. Standard text message prices exclude premium rate, international, roaming, reverse charged and long text messages. Only standard text messages are included in inclusive SMS allowances.
12.13 Using MMS you can send long text messages, picture messages and video messages. A long text message, picture message and video message is limited to a maximum size of 295kb. If a message contains multiple media items you will be charged for the most expensive item in the message, for example, send a message containing a picture and video clip you are charged the video message price. Should you wish to prevent incurring charges for MMS, you must switch off the MMS function on your device or adjust the settings so that you are warned if an MMS is about to be sent. Please refer to your device manual for further information.
12.14 For Post Pay Tariffs, charges are payable to us by Direct Debit on the dates notified to you following acceptance of your order. You must pay the charges within 14 days of the date of any bill. Failure to pay on time will result in a £5.00 collections administration fee (see List of Charges) being applied to your account. Should you not have a direct debit set up on your account, you may use an alternative payment method to pay.
12.15 If a Direct Debit or other Payment Method is dishonoured or cancelled, we shall be entitled to charge you as compensation for our losses an amount equal to the costs that we incur as a result of such dishonoured or cancelled Direct Debit or other Payment Method (which may include third party charges levied on us).
12.16 For any overdue payments we may charge interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 2% above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank Plc as published from time to time. Interest is charged on a per annum basis, calculated daily. Overdue payments will also be subject to a collections administration fee (see List of Charges), regardless of the payment method you choose. Should any overdue payment remain unpaid, we reserve the right to forward / sell the overdue balance to a debt collection agency.
12.17 If we advise you of the amount due on your account from time to time this is an estimate based on the information we have received to date.
12.18 We may arrange for bills or invoices to be issued by a third party on our behalf. Bills or invoices issued by such third party shall be binding on you and payment of such bills or invoices in full to the third party where directed to do so will be a valid discharge of your liability to pay such bills or invoices under this Agreement.
12.19 If you change Tariff for any reason e.g. when Upgrading or moving to a promotional offer, any unused allowances will be lost.
12.20 If we provide you with a credit to your account (for example as a goodwill gesture), such credit will be deducted from your Charges until the credit has been used. These credits cannot be redeemed for cash and any unused credits are non-refundable upon disconnection of your Service or termination of this Agreement.
12.21 You will have to pay for SIM Cards or replacement SIM Cards at the price as stated in our List of Charges at that time.
12.22 Additional call, text and/or data charges may apply when used outside the UK and the EEA. Data usage in the EEA is subject to our Fair Use Policy.
12.23 The Charges you pay will adjust (up or down) in line with changes to the Retail Price Index Rate (RPI Rate) set by the Office of National Statistics. We will adjust Charges with effect in your April bill after the RPI Rate is announced for the previous 12 months to February. The Charges will be adjusted by multiplying them by 1 + RPI Rate (as a percentage). We will publish the RPI Rate on our website as soon as it becomes available.

3.2 If you take an Upgrade from us, this will start a new Minimum Period running, and this may end later than after the previous Minimum Period.
4.2 We will provide you with roaming services in the EEA in accordance with applicable legislation. For Post-Pay Tariffs, when your SIM Card is connected to the iD Mobile Network, it will have been programmed so that you are able to use overseas networks to make calls and send MMS or SMS messages and data roam whilst overseas. In accordance with EU Roaming Regulations you may be capped from exceeding the current data roaming spend limit. If you want to have your data roaming spend limit uncapped, then you should visit iD Mobile’s website for methods of contact - www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus.
4.3 If you use your SIM Card abroad, you will be charged for the calls that you receive as well as for those that you make except when you roam in the Economic European Area in which case, subject to our Fair Use Policy, your voice and SMS usage will be charged at the same rate as the UK rate and your data allowance will be calculated in accordance with the EU Roaming Regulations. Charges incurred using your roaming service may take longer to be charged than normal Charges.
4.4 The Services are not guaranteed to be fault free and they may be impaired by things such as too many people trying to use the Network, geographical, topographical, atmospheric, or other conditions (including buildings, underpasses and other causes of interference) and/or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Overseas networks may also be limited in quality and coverage. Outside the EEA, access to overseas networks will depend upon the arrangements between the foreign operators and us, details of which are available on the Website and which may change from time to time.
4.5 The network coverage and the data speed will vary due to a number of factors including your location, local geography, congestion, your plan and the type of device that you are using. For example, you would only be able to use 5G services with a 5G ready device, eligible plan and within the 5G coverage area. For more information please visit https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/coverage.
4.6 If you experience continuous or recurring disruption of our services or if there is a technical fault on our network that is caused by us, you may be entitled to a partial or full credit of your charges based on severity of the disruption caused and the number of days your services remained disrupted. To receive credit of your charges, you must report to us the nature of the disruption you experienced as soon as reasonably practicable, and no later than 6 months after the disruption began. We will then investigate the severity and its impact on your services against your typical usage history and take next steps to resolve the disruption reported.
4.7 We aim to connect your SIM Card to the Services within 14 days of accepting your order. If you place an order for an Additional Service or otherwise instruct us to change the Services (e.g. to bar calls) we will use reasonable endeavours to complete your order as soon as possible, but there may be a delay in your order being completed. We will not be liable to you for any costs, expenses or claims arising directly or indirectly out of such delay.
4.8 In the interest of other users, the number and duration of messages that can be left on your voicemail service will be limited. Please note that the confidentiality of your messages cannot be guaranteed. You must not record an abusive greeting message. You may not be able to use the voicemail service whilst abroad.

4.11 On connection of your SIM Card to the Network (or at any time later on), we may set a credit limit on the Charges you may incur during each calendar month (we call this a "Credit Limit"). We shall give you notice if we change your Credit Limit. If you wish to vary your Credit Limit, you should visit iD Mobile s website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. We may agree to vary the Credit Limit after making credit checks and we may, pursuant to Clause 4.10, ask you to pay a deposit. If you go over your Credit Limit (and it may take us some time to check this, particularly if you are using your roaming service), we may suspend the Services until payment of all Charges (including any reconnection charge) has been made and you will, in attempting to make any call, be automatically diverted to our customer payments helpline to make a payment.
4.12 We may require you to pay a deposit for the Services or Additional Services. Such deposit will be reasonable, non-interest bearing, retained for a minimum period advised to you or until your final invoice has been paid following termination of this Agreement and Charges incurred by you may be offset against this deposit. If there is a remaining deposit after all Charges are recovered, we will refund the balance to you. At any time after the minimum period advised for holding your deposit, you may ask for a refund of your deposit, but this may result in us restricting the use or provision of the Services or reducing your Credit Limit (defined below).
4.13 Please note that the Credit Limit does not act as a cap to prevent further Charges arising and you may be able to incur Charges which result in you exceeding your Credit Limit, subject to clause 4.2 above when roaming. If this happens, you will still be liable to pay for all Charges incurred in excess of your Credit Limit. We may restrict your ability to purchase Additional Services based on your Credit Limit. Upgrades are at the sole discretion of iD and will be subject to Minimum Period duration unless we notify you otherwise.
4.14 Devices which can be used to access the Services may be locked to our network. The software in the devices and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned or licensed by the manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the manufacturer. Following the Minimum Period, if your device is locked and you want it to be unlocked from our network, you can contact us and we can help to arrange for your device to be unlocked (where we are able to) in an authorised manner. Prior to us arranging for your device to be unlocked, you must ensure that have separate copies of any information, videos, pictures or other data on the device which you want to keep, as this will be lost during the device unlocking process. We will not be liable for any damage, loss or erasure of any such data.
4.15 You can use the Service to call the emergency services. Your number will be shown to the emergency operator. When making an emergency call, your location information will be provided to the emergency operator to the extent technically feasible.
4.16 If the PAC / N-PAC process is delayed, and the delay is our fault, you may be entitled to Porting Delay Compensation in the form of one-off reimbursement of a portion of your monthly line rental, in the form of an account credit.

Some Mobile Devices convert messages of more than 160 characters or group messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. When including an email address and / or special characters including, but not limited to emojis within a standard text message, some Mobile Devices convert these messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates.

3. Duration
3.1 This Agreement will continue for the Minimum Period and thereafter, unless and until terminated by either party in accordance with the Clause 8 below.
3.2 If you take an Upgrade you agree that a new Minimum Period will apply, which may be different to the previous Minimum Period.
4. Provision of the Services
4.1 The Services which we agree to provide to you may not be available in all parts of the United Kingdom or abroad. We will provide roaming services in the EEA in accordance with applicable legislation. You may not be able to use the Services which we agree to provide to you to call all countries or all international numbers. Unless otherwise agreed, the Services do not include call divert or call waiting. We reserve the right to add to, substitute, or to discontinue any Additional Services at any time. We do not guarantee the continuing availability of any particular Additional Services. Not all mobile devices will be able to receive the Services. If you buy a SIM Only tariff from us, your current device may be restricted to use on another network or locked and you may need to obtain an unlocking code from your current service provider to be able to receive the Services. Failure to enter the correct unlocking code may result in your device becoming permanently blocked. We accept no responsibility for devices blocked in this way or for any costs incurred in the provision of an unlocking code.
4.2 For Post-Pay Tariffs, when your SIM Card is connected to the Network, it will have been programmed so that you are able to use overseas networks to make calls (including premium rate calls) and send MMS or SMS messages and data roam whilst overseas. Outside the EEA, the ability to use such services depends on the arrangements which we have with foreign network operators. In accordance with EU Roaming Regulations you may be capped from exceeding the current data roaming spend limit. If you want to have your data roaming spend limit uncapped, then you should visit iD Mobile Limited's website for methods of contact www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/contact-us.
4.3 If you use your SIM Card abroad, you will be charged for the calls that you receive as well as for those that you make except when you roam in the Economic European Area in which case, subject to our Fair Use Policy, your voice and SMS usage will be charged at the same rate as the UK rate and your data allowance will be calculated in accordance with the EU Roaming Regulations. Charges incurred using your roaming service may take longer to be charged than normal Charges.
4.4 The Services are not guaranteed to be fault free and they may be impaired by too many people trying to use the Network, geographical, topographical, atmospheric, or other conditions (including buildings, underpasses and other causes of interference) and/or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Overseas networks may also be limited in quality and coverage. Outside the EEA, access to overseas networks will depend upon the arrangements between the foreign operators and us, details of which are available on the Website and which may change from time to time.
4.5 We aim to connect your SIM Card to the Services within 14 days of accepting your order. If you place an order for an Additional Service or otherwise instruct us to change the Services (e.g. to bar calls) we will use reasonable endeavours to complete your order as soon as possible, but there may be a delay in your order being completed. We will not be liable to you for any costs, expenses or claims arising directly or indirectly out of such delay.
4.6 In the interest of other users, the number and duration of messages that can be left on your voicemail service will be limited. Please note that the confidentiality of your messages cannot be guaranteed. You must not record an abusive greeting message. You may not be able to use the voicemail service whilst abroad.

It is your responsibility to verify that your mailbox is in proper working order and you must assume the risk of all consequences for errors in sending and receiving email, unless caused by our negligence. If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile Limited's website for methods of contact www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/contact-us and we will arrange this for you.
4.9 On connection of your SIM Card to the Network (or at any time later on), we may set a credit limit on the Charges you may incur during each calendar month (we call this a "Credit Limit"). We shall give you notice if a change is made by us to your Credit Limit. If you wish to vary your Credit Limit, you should visit iD Mobile Limited's website for methods of contact www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/contact-us. We may agree to vary the Credit Limit after making credit checks and we may, pursuant to Clause 4.10, ask you to pay a deposit. Once we have established that you have exceeded your Credit Limit (which may take some time particularly if using your roaming service), we have the right to suspend the Services until payment of all Charges (including any reconnection charge) has been made and you will, in attempting to make any call, be automatically diverted to our customer payments helpline to make a payment.
4.10 We may require you to pay a deposit for the Services or Additional Services. Such deposit will be reasonable, non-interest bearing, retained for a minimum period advised to you or until your final invoice has been paid following termination of this Agreement and Charges incurred by you may be offset against this deposit. If there is a remaining deposit after all Charges are recovered, this will be refunded to you. At any time after the minimum period advised for holding your deposit, you may ask for a refund of your deposit but this may result in us restricting the use or provision of the Services or reducing your Credit Limit (defined below).
4.11 Please note that the Credit Limit does not act as a cap to prevent further Charges arising and you may be able to incur Charges which result in you exceeding your Credit Limit, subject to clause 4.2 above when roaming. If this happens, you will still be liable to pay for all Charges incurred in excess of your Credit Limit. We may restrict your ability to purchase additional services based on your Credit Limit. Upgrades are at the sole discretion of iD and will be subject to Minimum Period duration unless we notify you otherwise.
4.12 Devices which can be used to access the Services may be locked to our network. The software in the devices and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned or licensed by the manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the manufacturer. Following the Minimum Period, if your device is locked and you want it to be unlocked from our network, you can contact us and we can help to arrange for your device to be unlocked (where we are able to) in an authorised manner (which may include replacing your device with an unlocked device, which is the same or similar specification to your device) and you may incur a Charge. Prior to us arranging for your device to be unlocked, you must ensure that you back-up or otherwise store separately any of your information or other data on the device which you may need, as this may be lost during the device unlocking process. Were not responsible for any information or any other data which may be lost during the unlocking process.
4.13 You are able to use the Service to call the emergency services. Your number will be shown to the emergency operator. When making an emergency call, your location information will be provided to the emergency operator to the extent technically feasible.

11.1.1 This means that the out of bundle Charges you pay each month shall not be more than the monthly line rental plus the capped amount (as specified in your Tariff Summary). For example, if your monthly line rental is £10.00 per month and your selected capped amount is £5.00, the total Charges you will have to pay will never be more than £15.00 each month. Capping does not apply to the purchase of certain Services such as add-ons or paper billing.
11.1.2 Once you have reached the capped amount, you will only be able to use your remaining inclusive or add-on allowances.

A full itemisation of the Charges incurred and usage can be accessed If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please visit iD Mobile Limited's website for methods of contact www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/contact-us and we will arrange this for you or alternatively you can request a bill in paper format by using the iD app.
12.3 You must pay to us all the Charges arising under this Agreement whether incurred by you or anyone else using your Mobile Device and/or SIM Card with or without your knowledge at the times and in the manner set out in this Agreement even when such Charges exceed any Credit Limit imposed upon your account.
12.4 Calls made by Post Pay customers in the UK to eligible UK numbers, are charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 60 second minimum charge.
12.5 For all customers, calls made in the UK to eligible international numbers are charged in one minute increments rounded up to the nearest minute.
12.6 When roaming in the EEA, charges for calls you make will be charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 30 second minimum charge. When roaming other than in the EEA, you will be charged for the calls you make and receive by the minute or less and any part minute will be rounded up to the nearest whole minute or less. This is dependent on the location you are roaming in. Details of these charges will be set out in our List of Charges. MMS or SMS messages made outside the EEA may be charged other than in whole penny increments. Within the EEA, SMS messages will be deducted from your domestic allowance and MMS, from your data allowance.
12.7 UK Data usage made by Post Pay customers are charged or deducted, in one kilobyte (KB) increments and any part KB used will be rounded up to the nearest KB.
12.8 Unless otherwise stated, call prices are quoted by the minute and include VAT. Each call is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny, each MMS or SMS is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest tenth of a penny. VAT is then added where applicable and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny. An invoice including the rate of VAT charged and our VAT number can be provided upon written request for Post Pay customers (this may be chargeable).
12.9 Your first month's line rental after the beginning of the Minimum Period is likely to be less or more than the amount stated in your Tariff, as monthly Charges incurred for, and inclusive allowances in respect of, periods of less or more than one month will be calculated on a pro rata basis and billed to you accordingly.

12.10 Calls and/or texts to premium rate services, non-geographic numbers, international numbers and when roaming (unless otherwise expressly stated by us) are not included in your monthly inclusive allowance. Eligible Calls made in the UK and in the EEA shall be made using your monthly inclusive allowance. Any unused inclusive allowances may not be carried forward from one month to the next unless expressly stated by us. In this context "monthly" or "month" means your monthly billing period, which may not equate to a calendar month. Eligible Calls will be set against inclusive allowances in the order in which such Eligible Calls are made.
12.11 Calls to your voicemail and any of our customer service lines will be chargeable in accordance with the Tariff and may be deducted from any monthly allowances. When using call return (returning a call when directly within your voicemail service), you will be charged for both the voicemail call and the call return call throughout the duration of the returned call. Call return calls will be deducted from any inclusive allowance, where appropriate. The call return charge is calculated as the rate for that Tariff, as if you had hung up and dialled direct for the returned call, less the voicemail charge. The minimum call rate on call return is the same as the voicemail rate. For Post Pay Tariffs, calls to voicemail 123 are decremented from your inclusive allowance.
12.12 A standard text message contains up to 160 characters. Some Mobile Devices allow you to send messages of more than 160 characters, in which case the message will be divided into the number of messages required to convey the message and each such message will be charged at the standard text message rate. Some Mobile Devices convert messages of more than 160 characters or group messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. When including an email address and / or special characters including, but not limited to emojis within a standard text message, some Mobile Devices convert these messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. Standard text message prices exclude premium rate, international, roaming, reverse charged and long text messages. Only standard text messages are included in inclusive SMS allowances.
12.13 Using MMS you can send long text messages, picture messages and video messages. A long text message, picture message and video message is limited to a maximum size of 295kb. If a message contains multiple media items you will be charged for the most expensive item in the message, for example, send a message containing a picture and video clip you are charged the video message price. Should you wish to prevent incurring charges for MMS, you must switch off the MMS function on your device, or adjust the settings so that you are warned if an MMS is about to be sent. Please refer to your device manual for further information.
12.14 For Post Pay Tariffs, charges are payable to us by Direct Debit on the dates notified to you following acceptance of your order. You must pay the charges within 14 days of the date of any bill. Failure to pay on time will result in a £5.00 collections administration fee (see List of Charges) being applied to your account. Should you not have a direct debit set up on your account, you may use an alternative payment method to pay.
12.15 If a Direct Debit or other Payment Method is dishonoured or cancelled, we shall be entitled to charge you as compensation for our losses an amount equal to the costs that we incur as a result of such dishonoured or cancelled Direct Debit or other Payment Method (which may include third party charges levied on us).
12.16 For any overdue payments we may charge interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 2% above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank Plc as published from time to time. Interest is charged on a per annum basis, calculated daily. Overdue payments will also be subject to a collections administration fee (see List of Charges), regardless of the payment method you choose. Should any overdue payment remain unpaid, we reserve the right to forward / sell the overdue balance to a debt collection agency.
12.17 If we advise you of the amount due on your account from time to time this is an estimate based on the information we have received to date.
12.18 We may arrange for bills or invoices to be issued by a third party on our behalf.

2. Structure of this Agreement
2.1 This Agreement relates to your purchase and use of the Services. This Agreement does not cover any other services or additional products or services that you may purchase from us.
3. Duration
3.1 This Agreement will continue for the Minimum Period and thereafter, unless and until terminated by either party in accordance with the Clause 8 below.
3.2 If you take an Upgrade you agree that a new Minimum Period will apply, which may be different to the previous Minimum Period.
4. Provision of the Services
4.1 The Services which we agree to provide to you may not be available in all parts of the United Kingdom or abroad. We will provide roaming services in the EEA in accordance with applicable legislation. You may not be able to use the Services which we agree to provide to you to call all countries or all international numbers. Unless otherwise agreed, the Services do not include call divert or call waiting. We reserve the right to add to, substitute, or to discontinue any Additional Services at any time. We do not guarantee the continuing availability of any particular Additional Services. Not all mobile devices will be able to receive the Services. If you buy a SIM Only tariff from us, your current device may be restricted to use on another network or 'locked' and you may need to obtain an unlocking code from your current service provider to be able to receive the Services. Failure to enter the correct unlocking code may result in your device becoming permanently blocked. We accept no responsibility for devices blocked in this way or for any costs incurred in the provision of an unlocking code.
4.2 For Post-Pay Tariffs, when your SIM Card is connected to the Network, it will have been programmed so that you are able to use overseas networks to make calls (including premium rate calls) and send MMS or SMS messages and data roam whilst overseas. Outside the EEA, the ability to use such services depends on the arrangements which we have with foreign network operators. In accordance with EU Roaming Regulations you may be capped from exceeding the current data roaming spend limit. If you want to have your data roaming spend limit uncapped, then you should call us on 0333 003 7777 or alternatively, you can simply email us on www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/contact-us or write to us at iD Mobile Ltd, PO Box 686, Salford M5 0PA. If you want to disable all roaming services, please call us on 0333 003 7777 or alternatively, you can simply email us on www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/contact-us or write to us at iD Mobile Ltd, PO Box 686, Salford M5 0PA.
4.3 If you use your SIM Card abroad, you will be charged for the calls that you receive as well as for those that you make except when you roam in the Economic European Area in which case, subject to our Fair Use Policy, your voice and SMS usage will be charged at the same rate as the UK rate and your data allowance will be calculated in accordance with the EU Roaming Regulations. Charges incurred using your roaming service may take longer to be charged than normal Charges.
4.4 The Services are not guaranteed to be fault free and they may be impaired by too many people trying to use the Network, geographical, topographical, atmospheric, or other conditions (including buildings, underpasses and other causes of interference) and/or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Overseas networks may also be limited in quality and coverage. Outside the EEA, access to overseas networks will depend upon the arrangements between the foreign operators and us, details of which are available on the Website and which may change from time to time.
4.5 We aim to connect your SIM Card to the Services within 14 days of accepting your order. If you place an order for an Additional Service or otherwise instruct us to change the Services (e.g. to bar calls) we will use reasonable endeavours to complete your order as soon as possible, but there may be a delay in your order being completed. We will not be liable to you for any costs, expenses or claims arising directly or indirectly out of such delay.
4.6 In the interest of other users, the number and duration of messages that can be left on your voicemail service will be limited. Please note that the confidentiality of your messages cannot be guaranteed. You must not record an abusive greeting message. You may not be able to use the voicemail service whilst abroad.
4.7 The Services may be used by you to access or link into websites, resources and/or networks worldwide. We accept no responsibility for the content, services or otherwise in respect of these and you agree to conform to the acceptable use policies of such websites, resources and/or networks.
4.8 By default, billing is provided through your iD online account at my.idmobile.co.uk/ and in the iD app. Therefore, it is a condition of this Agreement that you provide us with a current email address for billing purposes and that you maintain this address and advise us promptly of any changes to it. It is your responsibility to verify that your mailbox is in proper working order and you must assume the risk of all consequences for errors in sending and receiving email, unless caused by our negligence. If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please call us on 0333 003 7777 and we will arrange this for you.
4.9 On connection of your SIM Card to the Network (or at any time later on), we may set a credit limit on the Charges you may incur during each calendar month (we call this a "Credit Limit"). We shall give you notice if a change is made by us to your Credit Limit. If you wish to vary your Credit Limit, you should contact Customer Service on 0333 003 7777. We may agree to vary the Credit Limit after making credit checks and we may, pursuant to Clause 4.10, ask you to pay a deposit. Once we have established that you have exceeded your Credit Limit (which may take some time particularly if using your roaming service), we have the right to suspend the Services until payment of all Charges (including any reconnection charge) has been made and you will, in attempting to make any call, be automatically diverted to our customer services to arrange such payment.
4.10 We may require you to pay a deposit for the Services or Additional Services. Such deposit will be reasonable, non-interest bearing, retained for a minimum period advised to you or until your final invoice has been paid following termination of this Agreement and Charges incurred by you may be offset against this deposit. If there is a remaining deposit after all Charges are recovered, this will be refunded to you. At any time after the minimum period advised for holding your deposit, you may ask for a refund of your deposit but this may result in us restricting the use or provision of the Services or reducing your Credit Limit (defined below).
4.11 Please note that the Credit Limit does not act as a cap to prevent further Charges arising and you may be able to incur Charges which result in you exceeding your Credit Limit, subject to clause 4.2 above when roaming. If this happens, you will still be liable to pay for all Charges incurred in excess of your Credit Limit. We may restrict your ability to purchase additional services based on your Credit Limit. Upgrades are at the sole discretion of iD and will be subject to Minimum Period duration unless we notify you otherwise.
4.12 Devices which can be used to access the Services may be locked to our network. The software in the devices and all intellectual property rights in that software is owned or licensed by the manufacturer and you are being allowed to use the software on a limited licence from the manufacturer. Following the Minimum Period, if your device is locked and you want it to be unlocked from our network, you can contact us and we can help to arrange for your device to be unlocked (where we are able to) in an authorised manner (which may include replacing your device with an unlocked device, which is the same or similar specification to your device) and you may incur a Charge. Prior to us arranging for your device to be unlocked, you must ensure that you back-up or otherwise store separately any of your information or other data on the device which you may need, as this may be lost during the device unlocking process. We're not responsible for any information or any other data which may be lost during the unlocking process.

6.1 Occasionally we may have to:
6.1.1 alter the mobile phone number or any other name, code or number or technical specification associated with the Services for reasons beyond our control such as where requested to do so by a governmental or regulatory body or where we reasonably believe that the alteration will enhance your use of the Services.

If we publish a policy, we will let you know. Such a policy may be amended from time to time, for instance, if we discover that the Services are being used fraudulently or for fraudulent purposes, or the excessive use of certain services is causing problems for iD, its systems or for other users, or if we introduce new services which may require certain rules to ensure that such new services can be enjoyed by our customers. Again, we will let you know if this happens.

11.1.1 This means that the out of bundle Charges you pay each month shall not be more than the monthly line rental plus the capped amount (as specified in your Tariff Summary). For example, if your monthly line rental is £10.00 per month and your capped amount is £2.50, the total out of bundle Charges you will have to pay will never be more than £12.50 each month. Capping does not apply to the purchase of certain Services such as add-ons or paper billing.
11.1.2 Once you have reached the capped amount, you will not be able to make any calls, send any text messages or use any data.

11.3.1 Rollover may be included as a feature of your tariff or may be a chargeable service that can be added to your tariff. In the case of the latter, Rollover can only be added to your tariff at point of sale.
11.3.2 Only your inclusive data allowances are eligible for rollover. Any Additional Services or reward allowances that you have included in your Tariff are not considered to be part of your monthly inclusive allowance.

12.1 The Charges for the Services will be calculated in accordance with your Tariff and our List of Charges using the details we have recorded. The List of Charges may change from time to time.
12.2 We will provide Post Pay customers with regular notifications prompting customers to access their bill via the free iD mobile app or idmobile.co.uk/myid. A full itemisation of the Charges incurred and usage can be accessed If you would prefer to receive your bill in a paper format (for which we may charge you in accordance with the List of Charges) please call us on 0333 003 7777 we will arrange this for you or alternatively by using the iD app.
12.3 You must pay to us all the Charges arising under this Agreement whether incurred by you or anyone else using your Mobile Device and/or SIM Card with or without your knowledge at the times and in the manner set out in this Agreement even when such Charges exceed any Credit Limit imposed upon your account.
12.4 Calls made by Post Pay customers in the UK to eligible UK numbers, are charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 60 second minimum charge.
12.5 For all customers, calls made in the UK to eligible international numbers are charged in one minute increments rounded up to the nearest minute.
12.6 When roaming in the EEA, charges for calls you make will be charged or deducted per second (rounded up to the nearest second) with a 30 second minimum charge. When roaming other than in the EEA, you will be charged for the calls you make and receive by the minute or less and any part minute will be rounded up to the nearest whole minute or less. This is dependent on the location you are roaming in. Details of these charges will be set out in our List of Charges. MMS or SMS messages made outside the EEA may be charged other than in whole penny increments. Within the EEA, SMS messages will be deducted from your domestic allowance and MMS, from your data allowance.
12.7 UK Data usage made by Post Pay customers are charged or deducted, in one kilobyte (KB) increments and any part KB used will be rounded up to the nearest KB.
12.8 Unless otherwise stated, call prices are quoted by the minute and include VAT. Each call is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny, each MMS or SMS is charged excluding VAT and then rounded up to the nearest tenth of a penny. VAT is then added where applicable and then rounded up to the nearest whole penny. An invoice including the rate of VAT charged and our VAT number can be provided upon written request for Post Pay customers (this may be chargeable).
12.9 Your first month's line rental after the beginning of the Minimum Period is likely to be less or more than the amount stated in your Tariff, as monthly Charges incurred for, and inclusive allowances in respect of, periods of less or more than one month will be calculated on a pro rata basis and billed to you accordingly.

12.10 Calls and/or texts to premium rate services, non-geographic numbers, international numbers and when roaming (unless otherwise expressly stated by us) are not included in your monthly inclusive allowance. Eligible Calls made in the UK and in the EEA shall be made using your monthly inclusive allowance. Any unused inclusive allowances may not be carried forward from one month to the next unless expressly stated by us. In this context "monthly" or "month" means your monthly billing period, which may not equate to a calendar month. Eligible Calls will be set against inclusive allowances in the order in which such Eligible Calls are made.
12.11 Calls to your voicemail and any of our customer service lines will be chargeable in accordance with the Tariff and may be deducted from any monthly allowances. When using call return (returning a call when directly within your voicemail service), you will be charged for both the voicemail call and the call return call throughout the duration of the returned call. Call return calls will be deducted from any inclusive allowance, where appropriate. The call return charge is calculated as the rate for that Tariff, as if you had hung up and dialled direct for the returned call, less the voicemail charge. The minimum call rate on call return is the same as the voicemail rate. For Post Pay Tariffs, calls to voicemail 123 are decremented from your inclusive allowance.
12.12 A standard text message contains up to 160 characters. Some Mobile Devices allow you to send messages of more than 160 characters, in which case the message will be divided into the number of messages required to convey the message and each such message will be charged at the standard text message rate. Some Mobile Devices convert messages of more than 160 characters or group messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. When including an email address and / or special characters including, but not limited to emojis within a standard text message, some Mobile Devices convert these messages into MMS and therefore these will be charged at standard MMS rates. Standard text message prices exclude premium rate, international, roaming, reverse charged and long text messages. Only standard text messages are included in inclusive SMS allowances.
12.13 Using MMS you can send long text messages, picture messages and video messages. A long text message, picture message and video message is limited to a maximum size of 295kb.

You may use an alternative payment method to settle any Charges if your Direct Debit fails and this Service incurs a Charge of £3.50. Should your Direct Debit fail, you must pay a Direct Debit rejection Charge of £5.00. You are also responsible for reinstating your Direct Debit for future payments.
12.15 If a Direct Debit or other Payment Method is dishonoured or cancelled, we shall be entitled to charge you as compensation for our losses an amount equal to the costs that we incur as a result of such dishonoured or cancelled Direct Debit or other Payment Method (which may include third party charges levied on us). We may consider accepting Payment Methods other than by Direct Debit but we will then charge you an administration fee each month.
12.16 For any overdue payments we may charge interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 2% above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank Plc as published from time to time. Interest is charged on a per annum basis, calculated daily. Should any overdue payment remain unpaid, we reserve the right to forward / sell the overdue balance to a debt collection agency.
12.17 If we advise you of the amount due on your account from time to time this is an estimate based on the information we have received to date.
12.18 We may arrange for bills or invoices to be issued by a third party on our behalf. Bills or invoices issued by such third party shall be binding on you and payment of such bills or invoices in full to the third party where directed to do so will be a valid discharge of your liability to pay such bills or invoices under this Agreement.
12.19 If you change Tariff for any reason e.g. when Upgrading or moving to a promotional offer, any unused allowances will be lost.
12.20 If we provide you with a credit to your account (for example as a goodwill gesture), such credit will be deducted from your Charges until the credit has been used. These credits cannot be redeemed for cash and any unused credits are non-refundable upon disconnection of your Service or termination of this Agreement.
12.21 You will have to pay for SIM Cards or replacement SIM Cards at the price as stated in our List of Charges at that time.
12.22 Additional call, text and/or data charges may apply when used outside the UK and the EEA. Data usage in the EEA is subject to our Fair Use Policy.
12.23 The Charges you pay will adjust (up or down) in line with changes to the Retail Price Index Rate (RPI Rate) set by the Office of National Statistics. We will adjust Charges with effect in your April bill after the RPI Rate is announced for the previous 12 months to February. The Charges will be adjusted by multiplying them by 1 + RPI Rate (as a percentage). We will publish the RPI Rate on our website as soon as it becomes available.
