iD - Tailored tariffs from Carphone Warehouse

iD is a UK network provider operated by Carphone Warehouse, offering a range of SIM only, data only and phone-inclusive subscriptions, as well as deals on MiFi.

With iD you get free next day delivery, and if you are choosing to include a smartphone then you can select from some of the best and most popular releases from leading manufacturers.

iD subscriptions and prices

iD’s subscriptions give you plenty of choice, with the option to tailor your tariff by adding extras whenever you like.  The GoTo plans are the standard tariff type, with calls, texts and data included, while the ShockProof plans features a £5 buffer so you’ll never go over your allowances by more than that amount.

Then there is the TakeAway product, which lets you use your inclusive allowances without extra charge in 22 countries, including France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the USA. 

ShockProof and TakeAway are available alongside 12-month and 30-day rolling SIM deals, while all three are options for customers choosing pay monthly with a phone included.

If you just want to get some extra web usage on something other than a smartphone then the DataOnly subscriptions are ideal.  They can be used in conjunction with tablets, dongles or MiFi devices, and connect to either 4G or 3G, depending on the coverage in your location.

Data Rollover

An attractive selling point for iD is the data rollover, which will take any remaining data you have at the end of the month and add that to the following month’s allowance.  That data is then used up first, so it is a really efficient way of paying for web access on the go.

iD & Three

As with a number of the network providers offering subscriptions in the UK, iD doesn’t actually have its own network.  Instead, it piggybacks a service and acts as a mobile virtual network operator, or MVNO.  GiffGaff and Tesco use O2, Virgin Mobile uses EE and TalkTalk uses Vodafone, but iD runs off the Three network.

Advanced 3G coverage stands at 98%, with the 4G rollout ongoing.  If you can’t access 4G then you should revert to the 3G network for web connectivity without Wi-Fi access.

4G without paying extra

4G connectivity comes as standard with all iD subscriptions, so as long as you are in an area with 4G coverage you can enjoy faster web browsing at no extra cost.

You will need to have mobile data turned on, as it makes use of your data allowance.  It’s essential to make sure you take out a tariff that covers your expected data usage over a month

iD phone deals

With iD you get a huge range of phones, from high-end releases to budget smartphones, and plenty of mid-range options, all from highly regarded manufacturers.  You'll find competitive prices on iD phones, and lots of choice in terms of your tariff.  You can easily find calls, texts and data to suit your usage, and some phones are available for free upfront, or at a greatly reduced cost.
