Hi, so i am in India for a month or so and I will need to be calling people for my business, cold calling people. I just wanted to ask that I have £45 cap in place so I do not get excessive charges in place but what is included in this does this give me unlimeted call and text or does this work with the £2.40 per minute and once I have used my £45 allowance I cannot get it extended unless I ask it to be done so. Is their a way for me to not pay this £45 cap or should I just use my india number.

Hi there ​@Yuvraj Singh 

 

iD Mobile is only meant for residential use, not business use, so technically you’re not adhering to their terms and conditions.

I’m not sure if iD monitor excessive use (being as you’ve said you will be cold calling people).

The £45 billing cap is just that, so being as it’ll cost you £2.40 per minute you’ll soon use that up when cold calling. Plus if you call someone for 2m and 40s, as iD bill per minute, it’ll be classed as 3 minutes in total.

You do not get unlimited calls or texts in India, even if you have them in the UK.

 

You can buy a data add-on

but this is for data only.

 

Or like you’ve also said you have an Indian number. Depending on what this charges to call others this may work out cheaper.
