I may come back to ID Mobile if I can use my old SIM, which I still have. Is this possible?

Most likely answer is NO.

Put your old SIM in a phone and see if it’s active.

Your old iD SIM will not be active if you:

  • Closed your iD account.
  • Stopped paying your pay monthly bill.
  • If you did not do something chargeable every 120 days, with a PAYG SIM card.

Thank you. It puzzles me that they can’t make it work again :(

I guess if iD was really environmentally friendly this might be an option - but in reality it would be difficult to implement.

An eSIM might be the answer, but these are not yet widely supported by the UK mobile networks.

Hi @Rob Wynn 

 

Unfortunately once an iD Mobile SIM is deactivated it’s unable to be reactivated, in this case we’d likely need to send you a new SIM card.
