I want to switch to ID but the earliest switch is next Monday and will be in Europe. Is it possible to switch if you are on roaming?

Hi
If you haven’t ordered a SIM card already you wouldn’t likely get it before Sunday as they’re delivered via Royal Mail within 3-5 working days, it could be worth visiting a local Currys store.
When porting you’ll have the option to select a date you’d want the port to take place, there shouldn’t be any issues with porting while roaming. On the selected date your SIM card would stop working and then you’ll be able to swap to the iD Mobile SIM card from that point.
