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.

    My brother became a junior doctor in 2025, and I have never felt prouder. I watched him push through exhausting exams, long placements, and unbelievable pressure. He kept going anyway, staying kind, calm, and determined. As someone with a chronic condition himself, he did to help people, to make a difference, and to be the person who listens. Seeing him finally step into that role felt so surreal - he inspires me to aim higher every day!

    Having a huge family reunion with family from all around the world

    My proudest achievement of 2025 was celebrating 25 years of marriage alongside watching our daughter achieve amazing GCSE results. The night before our wedding my mum told me that if I went ahead I would be making the biggest mistake of my life. Twenty five years later I look at my husband, our two wonderful daughters and the life we have built through love, laughter and a lot of teamwork, and I know how wrong she was. I am so proud that I trusted my heart, my choice and our relationship. Our family is my greatest achievement.

    Getting engaged was easily the happiest moment of last year. We were on holidays, at the beach. Allready dark, we were having a lovely dinner. And somehow my partner managed to not raise any suspicion at all, so it was a total surprise when he asked me to walk a bit and then went down on one knee with a ring that magically appeared in his hand! I never really had strong ideas about how the ‘will you marry me’ moment should look or what the ring should be like, but it still ended up being more than I imagined. It just felt so right, especially after five years together.

    I’m honestly not even sure how to make it up to him for creating such a lovely moment and a lifetime memory, but i’m fairly confident a Switch console wouldn’t be a bad place to start 😂 Now we’re engaged and already knee-deep in planning all the complicated wedding things so he could enjoy a bit of respite playing games :D

    Keeping my business going despite the cost of living crisis, the much higher energy costs, the lack of consumer confidence during the summer, the drop in business caused by the budget uncertainty, the Christmas lull and the world chaos. What more can 2026 throw at me?

    My proudest and happiest moment was when I volunteered to help Hearing dogs for the deaf and I took charge of one of their very special dogs. He came to our family a few months ago to continue his training so that he can go on to be a fully trained dog who will hopefully go on to change a deaf persons life in so many ways. 

    He is part of our family now and I'm sure it will be difficult to say goodbye but knowing he will go on to transform someone else's life will be worth it.

    Happy New Year.

    My proudest and happiest achievement of 2025 is giving birth to my little girl, who is now 6 months old. She is so well behaved healthy and happy, couldn't have asked for anything more 😀.

    My proudest achievement last year was advocating relentlessly for my son, who has Down syndrome, during an extremely challenging period in mainstream education.
    He was not being properly supported: his 1:1 support was withdrawn, he was rarely included in teacher-led lessons, and the focus seemed to be on moving him out rather than helping him thrive. This became a daily battle with the county council and school, causing significant stress and anxiety for our whole family.

    Eventually, I had a turning point and decided that this environment no longer deserved the right to teach my son. I began pursuing specialist provision, despite severe shortages and long waiting lists. Just one week before the end of the school year, we received a life-changing phone call offering him a place at a nearby special educational needs school.

    He started there in September 2025 and is now flourishing — learning, settling in, and making friends. Securing this outcome required resilience, determination, and unwavering belief in my child, and it remains my proudest achievement of the year.
