iD Mobile UK Drops Unlimited Data Plan to £18 a Month
Saturday, Sep 5th, 2020 (12:01 am) - Score 3,491
Mobile operator iD Mobile, which is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) on Three UK’s platform, has dropped the price of their unlimited calls, texts and data (mobile broadband) plan from £20 to just £18 per month on a short 30-day minimum contract term. As a result it’s one of the most affordable data plans around.
Separately, iD’s entry-level SIM Only plan has also had a data boost to 3GB (usually 1GB), which including unlimited minutes and texts (SMS) will set you back just £6 per month on the same 30-day term.

…and Three themselves are trying to force up the cost of one of my plans. Will use this to barter with them.
Could be worse you could be on an O2 MVNO. Even their customers get slow speeds (well I do) so I dread to think what scraps things like giffgaff offer
Smarty were doing it for £18 for ages and now it’s £20 so they might drop it again
It not work on my phone and the SIM don’t not work in essex crap
Three could offer me the sun, moon and stars but I’ll be off the second my 24 month contract expires, unless I see some massive improvement in available core bandwidth. Its simply not acceptable to see 100Mbps+ when you first join and just a third of that 12 months later.
I don’t have that issue where I am. It’s a pretty small area and most people use EE/BT (have their own separate masts) so it’s just the coverage being sporadic which I suffer from.
Three speeds have declines as many have taken up their unlimited plans due to poor landline offerings in many areas.
Even EE has stopped offering unlimited sim only plans.
I think operators should have been more realistic from the start and offered tiered high usage packages with truly unlimited being a lot more expensive.
EE stopped offering unlimited sim only plan by ripping off customers forcing people signing upto unlimited mobile handset price plans or £70 4G/5G 1000GB home broadband EE is the most scamming company they recently introduced CPI ontop of RPI.
Anyone remember back in 2018 Max speed plans.
Doesn’t seem they stopped offering unlimited data sims on sim only
Not susprised EE removed the sim unlimited package deal without three EE probably still offering £60 for 10gb data sim package thank god for 3 mobile.
Signed with i.d. worst company to deal with. Stay away its not worth the trouble
Totally agree! Worst ever…
No thanks, I’ll stick to EE.
I hate EE they love fleecing customers currently on 3 unlimited £10 unlimited sim deal 90meg offpeak 50 meg EE wanted £35 only mugs join EE.
EE allows a maximum of 600GB on their unlimited plan, whereas Three is truly unlimited.
Shame they wiped out the “One Plan” which was also unlimited and cost £15/ month.
Most ISPs retain legacy plans/customers but Three has a policy to terminate the One Plan contracts and offered some alternative (in my case at £28, so I got my PAC and moved).
I find it odd that both Smarty and ID are offering unlimited data at less than Three (when Smarty is a rolling monthly plan, just like ID in this news item) while Three not only has a higher fee but locks you into a multi month contract… and Smarty doesn’t even do a credit check, and has the flexibility to allow a user to suspend billing for several months (ideal for a pensioner going to abroad for 4 months in the middle of winter… pre-COVID at least)…
Or does Three reserve 5G service for Three customers only, and MVNOs are limited to 4G ? One for you, Mark, if you know?
Im on three 4 sim contracts 2 sims 8 pounds unlimited everything data both using home broadband 4g router other two sims are 200 minutes unlimited data 5 pounds each….. haggle them on live chat that what I did…..
