Back to school deals. This is enough for the kids and capping too
Existing - iD Mobile 500 mins, 500 MB, 5000 texts. iD have doubled the minutes of this plan - £3.99
New - iD Mobile 500 mins, 500 MB, 5000 texts. 30 day contract includes Data Rollover, Capping, Roaming - £3.99
For £3.99/mth you get 500 minutes (was 250), 5,000 texts and 500MB of 4G data on rollover. You can choose to limit your bill to no more than £5 over the tariff price. Also you can roll your unused data over into the next month. So use only 250mb one month and you'll have 750mb to use the next. No need to choose one over the other now! Capping, eu roaming and rollover included in this package.
*officially no tethering but iD say it uses allowances quicker so don't support it but will not kick you off if you do

OP, can you amend the title, they've doubled the minutes on this, not the overall allowance for texts and data.

Hi pcgamer2014, iD Mobile is a network in itself, however, we use the masts of Three. I hope this helps!

Poor deal, if they are looking to sell this as kid friendly they need to increase the data as this is all kids use these days, calls and texts are the lowest priority these days with all the apps that use data for calls and texts.

Hi bigdarlodave, we sell contracts to customers 18 years and over, we do not sell to children. Adults do often purchase contracts that they allow their children to use, and we do offer up to 6 GB of data for those customers who need a little more.

I never stated you sell to children, i merely stated that if this is designed for the kids as the title suggests then more data would be better. My comment relates to the deal posted and not you as a company, however if you are taking feedback, i can suggest that the £5 cap be reduced or cap the data as my son received the text stating he had used the data, stopped using it but because the cap only allows for a further 50mb he was charged £10 for 1.55GB data which is poor deal in todays standards. As you can possibly tell i am no longer with ID

Hi bigdarlodave, thanks for the feedback, we appreciate that shock data charges can be upsetting and will take this on board. We rely on customer feedback to improve out services and will pass your suggestion on.

Good deal, but I think they should reduce the minimum cap you can set. When the lowest cap you can set makes the contract more than double the price it doesn't really make it kid friendly.

Hi MoogleV, our contracts are sold to customers over 18 years; we appreciate that some Parents may purchase them for children to use and, in this situation, we advise Parents to download the iD Mobile App to their own phone to monitor their usage.
The cap cannot be set to lower than £5, however, mobile data can be turned off at the handset which means no extra charges can be incurred.
I checked the reviews for Vodafone, EE and O2 on trustpilot the other day, only EE had the same rating as ID, the others were a lower rating. Don't believe everything you see on the net, I've used them and they've been a good network to me.
Given that they both use the same network, it seemed a little concerning; the prices are low enough, so there must be issues be with customer service/billing/poor business practice.
I just wanted to make people aware of it so that they can decide for themselves with a little more caution.

uk.trustpilot.com/rev…com I'll think you'll find depending on where you look the ratings vary, as per the link, which is why I'm saying, don't just trust in what's written online, ask someone you know that uses the network or try it for a month or so (you only have to give them 30 days notice) and if you just based it on the ratings then there wouldn't be anyone using Vodafone or O2, based on trustpilot. Personally, I'd say ID have been great over the 2 years plus I've been using them and I would rather give my money to the smaller networks like ID or GiffGaff than the larger one's.
