Why choose a SIM only plan with iD Mobile?
Our cheap SIM only deals are the perfect way to cut down on costs while keeping the phone you love. Since there’s no new handset payment, you can tailor your plan to fit your exact needs and budget.
With iD Mobile, you get more for your money. Our data rollover means nothing goes to waste and you can carry over any unused data to the next month. If you’re a travel buff, you can also enjoy our inclusive roaming across 50+ destinations worldwide, plus access to our extensive 5G network for fast connection back in the UK.
From as little as a 30-day contract to a more long-term 24-month plan, our cheap SIM only deals give you the freedom to find exactly what works for you.
What SIM card do I need?
The SIM card size you need will depend on your device; most smartphones use a nano SIM, whereas older devices might need a standard SIM. You can check this easily in the settings on your phone.
You don’t need to worry about ordering the wrong size with our simple, multi-fit SIM cards. These come with all three SIM sizes – standard, micro, and nano – in one clever design. Simply pop out the size that fits your phone’s SIM tray, slot it in, and you’re ready to go.
For even more freedom, all of our best SIM plans are compatible with an eSIM, meaning there’s not even a physical card at all. You can get connected faster and switch deals with ease without having to wait for a new SIM card to arrive.
