I wonder if possible to get another sim on my plan with the same number for my grandson.

I don’t use that much data or calls & thought would be ideal for both of us this way. Me for not using it much & for him to have traveling from school for emergency's is this do able.

Hi @Cup Cake,

Thanks for your post.

Unfortunately, it isn't possible to have two active SIMs with the same mobile number on iD Mobile. Each mobile number can only be linked to one active SIM at a time.

If you're looking to provide your grandson with a phone for emergencies, the best option would be to take out a separate SIM-only plan for him. We have a range of low-cost SIM-only plans available, which may be suitable depending on how much data, calls and texts he needs.

You can view our current SIM-only deals on the iD Mobile website, or contact our Sales Team via Live Chat to discuss the options available: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat

I hope this helps, but if you have any other questions, please let us know.

Regards,
