Unfortunately, while iD Mobile let you change-up to something more expensive during the contract minimum term, they don’t allow changes to something less expensive.

You’re stuck with your current 24-month minimum term contract until July ‘23 at the earliest.

You could port out to SMARTY and pay iD Mobile once they produce your final bill. Your final bill will include an early termination fee covering the remainder of your minimum term. SMARTY use the Three network just like iD Mobile so your signal and service will remain the same. IMO SMARTY offer better plans than iD Mobile too with no credit checks and no annual price rises.

And you can setup a SMARTY group plan, which will get you a 10% discount on each SIM if there’s at least 2 members in your group.
