iD Mobile isn't the most famous operator out there, but the company behind it is a household name: Carphone Warehouse. Over the last few years, the company's carved out a strong identity thanks to its super-affordable phone plans and SIM-only deals that value low prices and clarity over confusing bells and whistles.
Read on, and we'll - ahem - identify everything that iD has to offer.
Top iD Mobile contracts this week
iD offers a wide variety of tariffs to suit different types of users, but they all have some things in common. Firstly, they're incredibly straightforward to understand. You get a set allowance of inclusive minutes, texts and data, starting at a rather paltry 500MB a month and going up to 10GB depending on the plan.
All plans are available with a pay monthly phone contract or SIM-only, and whichever you go with, you'll share the same features:
- Data rollover - any data left unused at the end of a month rolls over into your next month's allowance.
- Capping - with iD you can set a limit on how much you can spend each month. That way, you won't get shocked by higher than expected bills
- Inclusive roaming in the EU and EEA - you can use your phone at no extra cost in 50 destinations in Europe, and few in other parts of the world. Any data, minutes or texts you use will simply be deducted from your plan as they would be if you were at home.
iD Mobile SIM-only deals
iD's SIM-only plans include all the above features and operate on rolling 30-day contracts. That's great because it means you can cancel or change your plan at any time.
The wide range of data options mean there's an appropriate plan for most people. That said, data options cap out at 10GB, so the heaviest of users may want to look towards the likes of Three, O2 or EE for the massive data bundles.
The rest of us should be fine with what's available though. Take a look at iD's SIM-only plans with our comparison tool to see how they all compare. Or take a look at our best SIM-only deals.

Whats iD Mobile's coverage like?
iD uses Three's network, so its coverage is pretty good. Around 97% of the UK population can get access to 3G and voice services, while 91% can now get access to faster 4G connections.
That said, parts of the UK still lack for coverage, so make sure you use a coverage checker before choosing iD to ensure you can use your handset in the areas you most commonly visit.
