Hi @Aine Leonard, your bill can be higher for multiple reasons.

If you’ve recently changed your direct debit date, you may have a longer billing period than usual. More information on that can be found here:

Direct Debit | iD Mobile Network

Otherwise, you may have gone over some allowances (most commonly data). If so, you should have received two texts. One where you’ve used 80% of your allowance, and one letting you know when you’ve used 100%

You should also be able to access an itemized breakdown of the bill via the iD app. 

If you do have any further questions on this, let us know here and we’ll be able to send you a PM.

Perhaps the billing period is more than 1-month on this occasion, @Aine Leonard

This can happen if you upgrade, or change the date your direct debit payment is taken.

Hi @Hayley Fishenden 

 

Have you checked your bill to see what the extra is noted as?

 

How much was your bill previously and how much is it this time?

It doesn't say anywhere what the extra is for. 

Normally it's £72.99 but this month is £78.75

Hi @Hayley Fishenden 

 

This is an increase of 7.9%, meaning this is an increase due to agreed CPI rate increases, please see the below link for more info;
