Now that 3 and vodafone are one when will ID MOBILE be able to use the vodafone network as well as the 3 network?

Best answer by Ojw3381

In the articles about the merger they mention coverage being shared over the next few weeks and MVNOs are mentioned (Smarty etc) but no mention of ID 🤔

If you’re a Vodafone UK or Three UK customer, then apparently so, ​@terlga

VodafoneThree have said that within a few months of legal completion of the merger of Vodafone UK and Three UK, customers of both will start to automatically use each other’s networks, connecting them to the best coverage available, at no extra cost.

Doubt the same will apply to MVNO businesses, like iD Mobile, ASDA mobile, etcetera.

Is that confirmed for ID though? The online article calls out explicitly providers without ID mentioned
