A 12-month term with iD Mobile offers a middle ground between the flexibility of a 30-day rolling deal and the longer commitment of a 24-month contract, typically at a better price than the rolling option while still returning you to the market within a year.
1. Why choose 12 months with iD Mobile
Committing for a year usually unlocks a meaningfully better price than iD Mobile's rolling monthly option, while avoiding the full two-year commitment. This suits anyone reasonably confident in Three's network coverage, which underpins iD Mobile's service, for the year ahead.
2. iD Mobile and the Three network
Since iD Mobile runs over Three's infrastructure, coverage should broadly match Three's own network. Check Three's coverage specifically for where you live and work before committing for 12 months.
3. Comparing against iD Mobile's other terms
Compare this 12-month option against iD Mobile's general SIM-only range, its 24-month deals, its 30-day rolling plans, and its unlimited data SIMs.
