I am a Canadian who plans to travel in England and the Channel Islands, and I would like to buy either a monthly or pay-as-you-go SIM-only plan (eSIM or physical SIM, I don’t care which). But even for pay-as-you-go, which shouldn’t require a credit check, the online checkout system requires me to provide a UK address, which I don’t have. Is there any way for me to join iD Mobile?
Solved
can I buy a plan as a non-UK resident?

Hi
Currently, iD Mobile requires a UK address to order a SIM, whether monthly or Pay As You Go. Without a UK address, the online checkout won’t work.
Options:
-Use a friend/family UK address to receive the SIM.
-Buy a SIM in-store in the UK once you arrive (availability may vary).
Once the SIM is activated, it will work in the UK and Channel Islands.
