For some reason, when you search directly for iD, the cashback is just £5.05 .... but £20 if you go via the Carphone Warehouse page.
Regardless, I am now ordering that sim :smiley:. I was just about to pay £10 for a GiffGaff goodybag...so this has saved me a nice chunk of change!

Which network does iD use?
larrylightweight to steveyboy79
8 Sep 152#10
We provide coverage that you can trust. We run on the Three network, which not only reaches 98% of the UK population, but has also been rated the UK's Most Reliable network!* Not sure its a good deal now a lot of phones dont take the three network sims
Ordered the shock proof £7.50 100 mins/5000 texts/1GB data plan. Just what I needed...especially with the potential TCB profit.
Even if the cashback fails, it's a good enough price for just 1 month of use.
How do I go about ensuring that I don't get charged for a second month?

All SIMO Deals on the ID Network £10.10

AFAIK that's the standard rate and the £20 is a 4 day offer
With the advent of things like WhatsApp that's about 490 more than I send a month!

wont be £7.50 same as CPW's other MVNO (mobile virtual network operator), talkmobile
they list prices EX VAT (tho can ofc cancel under cooling off)
i recent took out the £7.00 pcm for a y300 from talkmobile, and get a bill of Monthly Plan excl. VAT £7.53 (higher since first month so billed for 38 days or whatever not the 30) VAT £1.51, Bill total £9.04, even asked them about it, and they say there listed prices are EX VAT
and this is my usage for those that saying going over
Item Allowance Used Unused
Inclusive Minutes 250 minutes 0 minutes 250 minutes
Inclusive Data 500 MB 0 MB 500 MB
Inclusive Texts 5000 texts 85 texts 4915 texts
cant be bothered to edit personal details out of pictures to prove the fact but oh well, tho the mintues/text from this deal are worst (ok data is double, and some will want that, some want more mins and texts) than the £7 pcm y330 at talkmobile (CPW too) so if you do want just a sim get that (cashback is the same) sell the y330 to cex for £29, and just keep the sim,
either way you will get messed about on VAT non being in the listed prices

and yes jay they must, but tell that to CPW/talk mobile/id mobile i did they dont care,nor do they get it, (tho not a surprise, CPW used to do forced bundled geek squad insurance for years too on new contacts), talkmobiles or id mobiles facebooks will show they not someone anyone should want to deal with
---
and since i found an already edited post heres how talkmobile (no doubt ID is the same) see VAT and uk law (well ok they didnt comment on that)

Important Question: Does this Pay monthly deal also include the free (aka feel like home of Three network) 22 countries ??/ If yes, then it would be great to take away on a Spanish / Eurpean Holiday !
Jammy41007 to Onlydongles
9 Sep 15#31
No - only the 12 month 'TakeAway Plan's', Three cover 19 countries iD is better at 22 - Portugal being the noticeable exception for me in 'feel like home'.

But at your peril. They loose your data which causes all sorts of problems and don't give A damn about it

So, does the monthly £7.50 include VAT or not?
Jammy41007
9 Sep 15#30
I ordered a 12 month contract with iD contract in haste yesterday, opted for the 'TakeAway Plan' as I often visit Portugal so it appeared to tick all the boxes. Then discovered they don't allow tethering - deal breaker for me so refused delivery, opted for a monthly deal with 3 until I find something better.

Seems I cant get the 3gb £12.50 tariff through cpw but it is available on th ID website :disappointed:
wenttoabetterplace
9 Sep 15#35
They don't allow tethering?! Oh FFS ... I guess I'll be sticking with GiffGaff then!
Why on earth do these companies stop us from tethering? The 1GB of data should be ours to use however we wish.

Just did this and got £25.25 cashback. Bonus thought it was going to just be £20.20 which is what it showed for me originally.
How do i cancel the direct debit? Do i need to wait until i set up my ID account?

andy_sym
10 Sep 15#47
Mine tracked at £5 with Quidco but ID knocked me back! I passed their credit check for another contract a couple of months ago so maybe you can't have two contracts with them in the same name?
wenttoabetterplace to andy_sym
10 Sep 15#48
Why on earth would they refuse credit? It's not like you are getting a high cost phone out of the deal!
The nuances of the credit system I guess.

10 Sep 15#49
As I say I do have another contract with them already in my name (Mrs uses it) so presume it's this or the fact they gave me a free Huawei P8 for only £12.50 a month on that one :smile:
wenttoabetterplace
11 Sep 151#50
Just a heads up. If you are using this sim with a Windows Phone, then mobile hotspot DOES work :smiley:. The perk of having a fringe OS !
Tested on multiple websites - and streamed a BBC News video too.

11 Sep 15#51
Just wondering how this is a great deal, when all you get is 100 mins per month? For an extra £2.50, aren't you better off going for tesco sim-only deal which gives you 500mins 5000txt and 1GB???? You can still cap within £2.50...
locktheworldout to frogbog
11 Sep 15#52
Isn't that tariff £12.50pm?
frogbog
11 Sep 15#53
No it's £10, although contract is 18 months...but it's a bargain compared to this.

hmmmm.... 18 month contract vs 30 day rolling contract - not the best comparison :neutral_face:

Thank you very much Jammy41007.
I think info on tethering is extremely important for mobile users nowadays; many of us often overlook the T&Cs as they are in the small print and probably expect tethering is allowed (as it should be, we are paying for that data).
And I don't think we should tolerate trolling here. HUKD is not a place for trolling.
This is a great deal, thanks OP. Especially with the potential profit there. But I am having second thought on this as:
1) I don't want to set up a direct debit as I will need to cancel it. (I don't want them to have my bank details)
2) I will need to cancel it soon most likely as I still think giffgaff/TPO/3 are better than iD at the moment (just my opinion).
3) They could offer more than 100 minutes.
4) They are not offering unlimited data, hence I don't see the reason ban tethering.
5) It is a rolling contract... I prefer PAYG (like giffgaff), I like to freedom to switch from month to month easily without going through the cancellation procedure.
It's a hot deal nonetheless. Heat added.

16 Sep 15#57
Tethering works fine on my Windows Phone. The ID app is really good too...esp' compared to the GiffGaff one.
Also, with the £25 cashback, you are effectively getting a 3 month trial for free. It's perfect for me...and I'm not sure any of your issues stack up when you factor in the cashback.

Did you buy via carphone warehouse or id direct?
I looked on CPW site but they don't seem to have this deal?
Also does anyone know what happens when you use all the data? what are the options?
Thanks
jay15 to wenttoabetterplace

not me £10.10 too

14 Oct 15#61
Via Carphone Warehouse (it was a CPW cashback offer).
No idea what happens when the data runs out - though on my ID app on my Windows Phone, it says the contract is 'shockproof' - so I assume the data connection will just get cut off.

I've also had a direct debit for £7.50 taken twice due to the billing cycle meaning my cancellation was after the first 30 day period. Very unhappy, will be taking this up with both Carphone Warehouse and my bank....

30 Oct 151#66
Same, came back to warn everyone. They've apologised and said it was done in error, I will be credit 7.50 next month and this will be refunded to my bank.
Also insult to injury, I did only receive 10.10 cashback, meaning I'm pretty much at a loss from a supposed profit. Now onto TCB I guess.

There is a better deal on the iDmobile website ... £7.50 - 250 mins with 1GB data for a 30-day SIM only!!

The above link takes to the sim only deals,where the minimum purchase from o2 or Vodafone cost £10 per month?
