ID Mobile

Anyone use them?

Thoughts...

Looking to get a Samsung S25 Ultra and these are not only cheaper than O2 but also only 24 months compared to O2's 36 month contract.

 

[tom_e]

Used them for the last 4 or 5 years, no issues.

 

[robnut]

Recently moved from vodafone to Id and in my area (Gloucestershire and south wales) ive had no issues.

 

[Manbatius]

Yes bud,

Use it in the spare phone on £3.99 month rolling sim.
Signal this way is not great for that network but when we are away round country and our networks are not great, this one is.

As ever it's subjective to signal in your area for that provider.

I've had zero issues with number transfers when set up etc.

 

[Monkeynut]

On SIM only with these also for years and never any issues. Free roaming too.

 

[stokecity_m]

Thanks every.

 

[Kill_Phil]

Thanks every.

I'd check your local coverage. I'm on ID mobile and the signal is trash - can't wait my contract to be up in a couple of months

ID runs on 3 right?

Will ID users benefit from the 3/vodafone merger in terms of being able to roam on Vodafone?

This is why I go with monthly rolling that these networks offer

Yeah lesson learnt. The contract offer was fantastic at the time but never again. Will be testing a few rolling month sims before commit this time around

Yes:

Heads up. ID are one of the few who still credit check you on 30 day contracts.

 

[Mattyjw]

I have ID and Vodafone, the is usually has a better signal and EU roaming is included.

 

[jazzy68]

Been with id for nearly 2 years, 5g signal where I am is hit or miss but generally not to bad.

Be going over to a sim only monthly rolling contract soon though, no more of these 2 year contracts

ID Mobile are Three and they have just joined with Vodafone so there shouldn't be any difference.
My In Laws use ID Mobile where me and the wife use Smarty (also Three).
I can confirm that when we are all away together if one doesn't get a signal the other 3 of us don't.

I have a spare 1p Mobile PAYG Sim (EE) in my phone and that works everywhere.
I've yet to make a switch from Smarty to a £10 1p Mobile contract.


@stokecity_m
I live half a mile from Bet365 and can confirm Three are excellent in Stoke but for the whole country EE are better.
If I were you buy the phone and get the 1p Mobile or Spusu Monthly no contract Sim (also EE).

 

[Camalot]

Used them for a few years now, not bad any bit problems.

Have a few dead spots around my area when the reception just dies.

 

[BubbySoup]

I've been with them just under a year - no problems at all other than a few dead spots.

I've always had this issue regardless of which carrier I switch to.

 

[Kill_Phil]

Switched this week from ID to 1p and much better service so far. Signal has improved slightly but speeds have jumped hugely

Three to EE, I'd expect that.

Yeah so called merger didn't seem to make a difference!
