What a year it’s been! Let’s look back at the best bits… and celebrate with a MASSIVE giveaway.

2025 has been a milestone year for iD Mobile. We turned 10, launched a perk-packed loyalty scheme, upgraded roaming for global travellers, welcomed even more new customers, and saw our iD Community grow bigger than ever.

It’s been one of those years where lots of things clicked into place - and where being an iD Mobile customer came with more value than ever before. This round-up takes you through our biggest changes and achievements - so you can catch up on what’s new. Plus, read on to the end to find out how you can win a Nintendo Switch 2 & Mario Kart World Bundle!

 

Celebrating 10 years of iD Mobile and over 2 million customers.

 

 

This year marked a huge moment for us: iD Mobile officially celebrated its 10th anniversary. A decade of flexible plans, smart features, and no-nonsense value - something we’re really proud of. And to celebrate the milestone, we launched something new for customers - iD Perks.

iD Perks is our loyalty platform packed with exclusive discounts and special deals from brands like Disney, Booking.com and Morrisons. It’s built to make everyday life a little easier - whether you’re booking a trip, planning a family day out, or just treating yourself.

As if turning 10 wasn’t enough, we also passed another major milestone: over 2 million customers now choose iD Mobile. That growth is powered by the features you tell us matter most, like Data Rolloverbill cappinginclusive roaming.

 

Award-winning value all year long.

 

2025 also brought recognition from some trusted names. iD Mobile was awarded Best Value Network by Trusted Reviews, spotlighting our focus on great prices without ever compromising on quality.

Our SIM Only plans also continued their strong award run, being recognised by Which? for the third year in a row, and the seventh time overall. It’s always encouraging to see our commitment to value reflected in awards, but it’s even better knowing those wins reflect what customers look for every day - simple, affordable, reliable mobile plans.

 

Roam Beyond add-ons: travel just got easier.

 

 

For people who travel outside Europe or head further afield for work or holidays, this was a standout update. In 2025 we launched Roam Beyond, a new way to stay connected when travelling in destinations outside our 50 Roam Free countries.

With Roam Beyond, customers can now buy data-only add-ons for popular global destinations including the USA, India, Australia and more. They’re flexible too. You can choose 1-day, 5-day or 10-day passes, with prices starting at just £5. Whether you’re planning a big adventure or a quick getaway, using your data abroad with iD Mobile is hassle-free and easy to manage.

 

The iD Community hits 150,000+ members.

 

One of the most exciting milestones this year was driven by you, as the iD Mobile Community grew past 150,000 members, making it one of the most active and supportive mobile communities in the UK.

The Community has become a go-to space for advice, tips, updates and friendly chat. It’s where people help each other solve problems, share their knowledge, ask questions and join in with competitions and discussions. This year’s growth shows just how much customers value having a space that’s more than just support. It’s a real community with personality and enthusiasm.

 

Major phone launches: the year’s biggest tech drops.

 

 

And of course, 2025 was packed with new phone launches from all the major players, giving customers even more choice when it comes to upgrading.

  • iPhone 17 series

Apple delivered bigger displays, smooth 120Hz ProMotion screens, upgraded cameras and new Apple Intelligence features, making the iPhone 17 lineup one of its most powerful and polished yet.

 

  • Samsung Galaxy S25 range

Samsung raised the bar again with stunning AMOLED displays, enhanced cameras and a suite of AI-powered tools to boost creativity, productivity and everyday usage.

 

  • Google Pixel 10 series

Google introduced the Tensor G5 chip, Gemini AI smarts and pro-level photography tools, making the Pixel 10 range perfect for creatives and Android fans wanting something fast, intuitive and camera-ready.

Fancy upgrading to an awesome new phone? Here at iD Mobile, we’ll continue to offer competitive deals across the latest flagship ranges, helping customers get the latest tech without stretching their budget.

 

The iD app: more powerful, more helpful.

 

Another big step forward this year came from something many of you use every day… the iD Mobile app!

With ratings now sitting above 4 stars on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, the app continues to get smoother and smarter. Some of the standout features you enjoyed this year include:

  • Managing multiple plans in one place.
  • Tracking your data, minutes and texts.
  • Setting bill caps and controls for spending.
  • Enabling or disabling roamingpremium calls, and other services.
  • Viewing and managing your allowances, bills and add-ons.

It’s all about making it easier to stay in control, whenever and wherever you like.

    After lots of support and encouragement, our daughter, 10, gained the confidence to pass her mock Sat's, especially in maths where she has really struggled in the past. We're so proud of her and this would be a lovely reward for all her effort this past year.

    My proudest and happiest achievement of 2025 was committing fully to my personal growth and well-being.

     

    This year, I made a deliberate choice to prioritize myself—mentally, physically, and emotionally. I built healthier routines, set clearer boundaries, and stayed consistent even when it was uncomfortable. I learned to show up for myself with the same reliability and care that I give to others.

     

    I also took meaningful steps toward my long-term goals, whether through learning new skills, deepening relationships, or making decisions that aligned with who I want to become rather than who I used to be. Those changes may not always be visible from the outside, but they have transformed how I move through life.

     

    What makes this achievement especially meaningful is that it wasn’t driven by a single moment—it was built through hundreds of small, intentional choices. And that steady progress is something I am truly proud of.
