Pay Monthly Mobile Phone Deals and Contracts

A contract phone deal is where you pay a monthly fee to a mobile network (iD Mobile in this case) for your service. Contracts for phones are often available up to 24-month contracts - but can be as long as 36 months.

As part of the monthly fee, you get a renewing package of tariff allowances (minutes, texts and data) to use every month and you'll also receive a phone handset. At iD Mobile all of our phone contracts are 24 months long.

Depending on the phone contract there may be an upfront cost to help cover the cost of the phone - but this usually means that you'll pay less each month. Plus, anything you use which doesn't fall within your pay monthly allowance will be added to your next bill.

One of the best things about phones on contract is that you don't have to pay the full cost of the handset upfront. With pay monthly contract phones, you pay the amount on your mobile contract each month and you'll pay off the full amount over the course of your contract.

Don't worry about keeping topped up as you'll get a monthly allowance of data, minutes and texts as part of your contract. It's better value than Pay As You Go plus the monthly stress-free Direct Debit payment takes care of everything.

Phones on contract often mean that you can pick up a free gift with your handset, especially on the latest releases.

Plus, paying your monthly phone contract on time can also help improve your credit rating.

If you use contracts for phones, alternatively described as using pay monthly plans, it means you can get the latest handset whilst spreading the cost over the total length of the contract. This is in addition to your monthly allowance of minutes, texts and data to use the way you want.

A SIM Only plan means you'll only get a SIM which allows you to use a certain number of minutes, texts and data each month. A SIM plan is cheaper than a phone contract but you'll need to already own a phone or buy one separately before you can use it.

If the phone you're after is an expensive model, such as the latest Apple iPhone, it's more likely to have a small upfront cost attached to the phone contract. You're also likely to pay a little more each month - but it still works out as a great value option to have the phone on contract.

Slightly older mobile phones often come without an upfront cost. They're a great choice of mobile phone deal if you want to keep the monthly cost a little lower too.

At iD Mobile, all our monthly phone deals are available on contract.

So, you can get your hands on top brands like the Samsung Galaxy A71, Huawei P30 Pro or even the Apple iPhone 12 and pay for your device in affordable monthly instalments.

Yes, you can get unlimited data allowance on a wide number of pay monthly phone contracts. Especially if you go for a more recent handset.

If you're not after unlimited data but still use a quite a lot, we've got great value 10GB and 20GB plans on a range of phone contracts.

But if you're a heavy data user who loves streaming video, music or games, you should look for a phone contract that has you covered.

Our 4G network covers 99.8% of the UK outdoors. If you don't have a great signal, think about switching to us. See our coverage checker before you purchase one of our monthly phone contracts.

We offer Wi-Fi calling on a range of selected handsets. This is handy if you find that you rarely get signal indoors but have good Wi-Fi coverage. See our great phones that you can get Wi-Fi calling on.

To get one of our contract phones you'll need to pass a small credit check. You'll need to have a relatively good credit score or else you won't be accepted for a monthly phone contract.

You'll also have to be at least 18 years old for this or you could ask an adult to take out the phone contract for you. This means that they'll need to pay the monthly bills and the credit check will be against their name.

If you're buying online your credit or debit card can be used as proof of identity. The billing address for your card and pay monthly phone contract needs to be the same.

You'll need to pass the same credit check as everyone else if you want to sign up to one of our pay monthly phone contracts. If you happen to fail our credit check, we'll send you an email to let you know.

We'll try our best to find something different that suits your needs. Please don't try multiple times as doing lots of checks can have a bad effect on your credit rating.

If you’re already with iD Mobile, you’ll be able to check when your current phone contract ends in My Account or on the iD Mobile app. If you’re on any other network, you can find the end date for your phone contract by checking any paperwork you were given when you started your contract with them or by giving them a call.
