heres one for you looks a better deal than the op.http://www.mobiles.co.uk/ee-ee-pay-monthly-sim-card.html?tid=ED2OMNOV16&gid=DPLR1619667

​Although they use Three's network, the network reception is very different between the two. I was on Three, then switched to ID. Reception is 1 bar less than what I had with Three and the Internet speed is a lot slower than Three.

My kids on this deal and I thinks it's the best around at the price point. Only issue is the cap is an extra fiver on top of the monthly charge. Prefer to set at zero.

i didnt actually know that these used 3s signal so youve enlightened me there op.heat for me great price :innocent:

Do you know of any good deals with unlimited mins?
Great deal heat added. :smiley:

I thought it was operated by the carphone warehouse, I know it uses the 3 network. I nearly took this deal but read too many stories of slower speeds and poorer signal than 3, so I signed up to 3 themselves, I work in one of the few places where there is no EE coverage indoors. It is a good price for what you get.

is it better than giff gaff

i have id. very good

Anyway i can swap to this deal as i have just got my ID sim 1 month ago for the same price but only 1GB.

Just went with this deal from EE, retentions could not match it so away I go!

Nice, heat up (;

The 5GB, 500 min sim for £10 is a great deal too.

My only worry is the 12 month deals are poor. Are the 1 month deals 'bait and switch' deals? Can't be bothered moving again in a few months.

I'm with Id and am finding the internet extremely slow and crashes frequently.

excellent deal, just make sure you can get a signal - had to cancel :disappointed:

I have been with id for over a year....no faults. didn't expect to get 4g in my small town for years.... bur last month or so ... 4g signal !! win win for £5.

Can I port my number over from lycamobile to them?

Has any existing customer managed to get this deal from the original 1GB data for £5 a month?

Just called customer services and they told me the deal was only for new customers and I couldn't change to it.

I've had this for a year now on the old 1gb deal instead of 1.5gb... in main cities, I get good coverage on 4g, tricky in rural areas though as signal bottoms out.

True, though since reluctantly having to move from IDMobile to GiffGaff for one month last August to do exactly that, I now cannot pass the IDMobile credit check so keep getting knocked back. Indeed, I just failed to qualify for the one month rolling 5GB-for-£10 sim on the other HUKD thread. It's quite pathetic, really.

Last year a fair number of people on this site were complaining about terrible customer service from ID Mobile. Have they improved their customer service yet?

Do u get "free at home" when overseas

I've been with ID on a similar monthly deal since June last year, I was sceptical but i'm happy with everything so far.

Topcashback £5.55 and it tracked fine. (quidco I believe is £5.00)

Shame Life Mobile (now PlusNet mobile) aren't doing this. They had a SIM deal like this last year but I missed it. I'd rather be on the EE network and I hear ID mobile has awful customer service.

ID's signal there is no different s to 3 signal i had them for a nearly a year and only left because i got a better deal from 3 which i was with before i went with ID if they come up with a better deal then i am on i would go back to ID.

Ditto.

Why would the signal be different? They don't have a 3 transmitter and an id-mobile transmitter - it's the same piece of hardware...

Not had to use customer services but web portal fine. Personally I think these are a bargain just as long as you have a decent Three signal in your area.

Porting my number was easy too.

Data rollover does sound like a good freebie to choose :innocent: thinking whether to get this for our daughter who goes to secondary school, so that she can use it to call us on her travels to and from...missus is on three and signal wherever shes been to has been fine

don't do it.

they will fail to collect direct debits and then place defaults on your credit file and refuse to remove them until you refer the matter to the ombudsman.

I have this but £7.50 for 2GB. No issues with it so far (around 2 years now). If you get decent reception where you use the phone it's fine, if you don't it's worth looking at other providers.

Is this a 12 month deal or 30 day rolling contract? Can't seem to find that info anywhere in the description.

I have 500mb less for the same price from ID.

Top Cash Back are offering 5.75 on all sim purchases bonus if they pay out

I was really disappointed with ID mobiles service. Sim card wouldn't work when i received it and ID mobile wouldn't refund me for the period it was not in use. So left them

​It's a big difference for me. Was with Three initial and then switched to ID who I've been with over a year. I have Three masts above where I live and would easily get around 20mbs down load, now I get about 5 via ID. Signal bars are also less (using the same phone on both networks).

virgin Rolling contract 5000 min unlimited text 20 Gb internet - 15 pounds

At the moment Three uses 3 different spectrums and ID only have access to 2 of them, Three uses VoLTE technology which is not available on ID ,that does make a big difference and also bandwidth on ID is very limited compare to Three by itself and why ID is slower !

The part about spectrums is nonsense. How would that even work. Do you know anything about how phones work?

Bandwidth will of course be more limited, but the idea that signal strength would be less is tin foil hattage of the highest order

Ball's in your court dbecks07

when does this expire

Direct from Three, unlimited mins, unlimited text, 4gb of 4g data for £11 per month. Possible Quidco of £50.25 too.

Or the redemption deal from e2save.
Unlimited mins and texts with 2gb data for £5.50 after cashback.

what happens after 1 month? do we still get exactly the same allowance for the same price?

Damn! I send 5025 texts a month! Would have gone for this otherwise. Voted hot.

can i use this plan in amsterdam and belgium?

Goes wrong once you realise it's powered by three

This SIM might sounds good value, that's what I thought intially after buying for my kids until I had to deal with their customer service.

After deciding to go back to EE I've been trying to cancel the ONE MONTH contracts since September 2016. Every month I have to call up asking why they have ignored my request to cancel and I'm fobbed off and have to wait 30 days to see if they have taken notice.

If you like an easy life avoid like the plague!

Anyone have any experience with ID? These 'freedom' sims look good on paper but the reality is not always so good. GiffGaff's data is utter trash despite the fact that they run off of O2.

Yeah read my comment above.

Shame its on 3. It can be as cheap as you like but if you can't get a signal...
Tried 3 for a year UK wide, but got fed up with the fact that people on O2/Giffgaff were getting a signal when I wasn't, so switched back.

My BT deal beats it I got 2 months,ago, but repeats every so often, if you have BT broadband, which many do.
3Gb, 1000mins. £8 per month. I got £58 Topcashback, and £40 amazon voucher from BT. 12 month deal.
So BT pay me £2 over the 12 month contract.
If you havent BT, it works out to be £4.83 a month which is better than this

​i went from Three to iD sim only when it first launched was with them for 13mths then they did away with unlimited data so came back to Three if they hadn't done away with it i'd of stayed with iD its much better than GiffGaff/02

You can but all calls/texts/data will be charged as used. ID mobile do offer the ability to use your allowances abroad but they are called "takeaway plans" and start at £12.50p/m
Three do their feel at home sims called "advanced plans" which includes use in Belgium/Netherlands plus another 40 countries and these start at £7 p/m for a 12 month contract.

It's true that iD don't currently have access to 3s 800 MHz signal but you need to have a 4G VoLTE phone like the Galaxy S7.

Otherwise, you need to use the '3 in touch' app or it doesn't work even on 3.

What does that have to do with this deal?

Random pointless comment...

i got this exact deal for my mum a couple of months ago so i don't think it's limited time ..

I have a mast just up the road my son is on 3 and i was with id and there was No differents with signal i only went back to 3 because they gave me a better deal...if you think ID are bad Try GiffGaff then you will know what is bad.

Yeah they do that when you don't pay or cancel your direct debit all phone company's do that if you don't pay.

Rubbish ( move your Number)Ask for a Pac code and as soon as you give it to the new provider the contract finnishes even if you go on Payg sorted.

​Didn't say I'D are bad, but they aren't the same as Three. My experience is echoed by a lot of thier users.

Ummm did you even read what I wrote.

It was their issue with not collecting direct debits despite having an active direct debit and it being stated it would be collected via direct debit on my bill, and having paid 6 months with the same direct debit previously.

I think everyone would prefer it be able to be set at zero but they are a business at the end of the day, and even £5+£5 max cap is still reasonable as many providers don't allow capping at all and leave it up to the customer to manage themselves.

Let people think you are right and I know nothing about network :smiley: be happy :smirk:

At least I'm glad you understand what I'm talking about and you know how it works !
Also remember iPhone users on Three have access to native wifi Calling on their phones

Would if I could. But stupidly, Virgin only allow up to 3 SIMs with them. I tried to get a 4th for my kid and they wouldn't allow it, even after contacting them they said their is nothing they can do, that is their policy.

Now , you may want to consider this one : 30GB (capped and hotspot available ) /600 min + feel at home for £20 on Three

No can do.. max per person I want to spend is £10 ... £20 x 6 would hurt me :stuck_out_tongue:

yes you can do with any network

Being an existing customers of ID I was able to upgrade to this fab deal!!!
Thanks OP!

How did you manage that?

never use this network they just robed you, customer service is very poor they constantly over charge you
avoid this network at any cost
i had a very bad experience with them

expired

I'm sure it will be back in the next 2 weeks or so, seems to be a regular promotion

Yeah, expired for me too. As people have already said, I'm sure it'll be back as I've seen it a few times before. Great deal though and worth waiting for I'd say if you need something short term.

I'm leaving these - terrible customer service.

No.

I am currently with Three and have their home signal booster. Does anyone know if I have to return it in case I switch to ID, and would they provide me one as a replacement?

It is now sorted via facebook, you have repaid the money I paid after admitting that your Customer Services were wrong and had not deactivated my second sim when requested. ID had sent me a letter saying that you were going to pass the £10 debt to a debt collection agency - I hope that this has not affected my credit rating. It seems that if you want to get action from your ID you have to resort to places like this or social media, your Customer Services team are hopeless. When I said I was leaving their attitude was "ok great, we will disconnect on 18th March - have a nice day and is there anything else I can do for you?"

Had to phone iD to get my voicemail turned off on my new SIM and was expecting a nightmare after reading all the post on here. Must say customer service was first class.

This deal is finished now - no?
