Thanks for your answer but I’m confused as Live Chat and their website says they do offer traditional PAYG sim (without plans). Just that Live Chat told me to go to Currys Store. I went to Currys store and they told me they only sell PAYG sim with plan and that had to order online. So I go back to Live Chat, who told me to go to Currys store again! 

This is what is said on website: 

Can you still get a Pay As You Go SIM?

Yes, Pay As You Go SIM cards are still very much an option; they just work a bit differently than they did before contracts were the norm. The beauty of Pay As You Go is that you aren’t tied in if you change your mind.

Pay-as-you-go SIMs are still an option. To use one, simply purchase a pay-as-you-go plan. Unlike pay monthly plans, no credit check is needed and there’s no minimum term duration.

Thanks for your reply. But I don’t want to purchase plan. Just want to get charged how much I use from the start i.e. traditional PAYG

Hi ​@hapster 

Kindly note that you are able to order a PAYG SIM card either online (https://www.idmobile.co.uk/sim-only-deals/pay-as-you-go) or go to a Currys store to place an order for a PAYG SIM card.

Hi Gemma M, 

Thanks for your reply. 

I went to Currys Store and they say they only sell iD mobile SIM PAYG with plans and that I need to go online to order a traditional SIM PAYG (without plan). When I went online - Live Chat - they say can’t order online and have to go to Currys to purchase iD mobile traditional SIM PAYG (without plan). 

Note I am looking to move my network provider asap to iD mobile SIM PAYG (without plan) - pay for usage only but it seems I can’t order it.  

Please kindly assist. 

Kind Regards, 

Hi ​@hapster 

Please be advised that when purchasing the SIM card, you need to purchase data along with it as a once off, however thereafter you are able to purchase data as you need it. You can do this both in store, or via our website (https://www.idmobile.co.uk/sim-only-deals/pay-as-you-go)

So if I choose this package initially :

Best Pay As You Go SIM Deals-1GB Data Unlimited Mins Unlimited Texts £6

After the initial 30 days, I can then move to your traditional PAYG rates and top-up my balance when required - pls confirm? 

Hi ​@hapster 

Your Pay As You Go SIM plan will last for 30 days or until you’ve used up all your allowances. You can always check how many days are remaining or how much data you have left by visiting the iD Mobile app or My Account online. Thereafter, you can purchase new bundles as you need.

Hi Gemma M. 

Thanks for your reply

I don’t want to purchase a bundle after - can you confirm I can just to go to traditional PAYG and top-up balance and pay for usage, pls? 

Kind Regards, 

Hi ​@hapster 

Yes, once the bundle that comes with the SIM card expires, the plan will automatically move onto a standard Pay As You Go (PAYG) tariff.
