Unlock and Locking Cap
Solved

Is it possible to 'uncap' my plan for say 1 hour and then 'recap'. Or does uncapping last the whole billing cycle?

Default Capping £50?
Solved

My daughter's next phone bill is showing as £83 so far. Only after creating an account and logging in did I see this and saw that the capping set to £50. Why on earth is it this high by default?

Capping data
Solved

My daughter has just got this with her first phone but it appears that you can only cap data at £5 over limit. I’m not happy 🤨 . Surely there is a way of capping data so she doesn’t go over at all 🤷‍♀️

Why can't we cap at £0?
Solved

Hello. I joined iD with the understanding that they allow capping, which I had with my previous provider as well. What they failed to mention is that it starts at a minimum £5 spend. I find this slightly odd and a little bit unfair. iD - give us £0 capping (pretty please)!
