I need a SIM for back up purposes - additional data allowance.
So, if I get a new SIM delivered tomorrow, how long can I ‘sit on it’ before activating? Hence, not paying for something I’m not using.
TIA.
Okay
At iD Mobile they will disconnect a PAYG SIM from their network after ~4-months of no chargeable service (see sections 7 and 12 of the PAYG terms).
Thanks
So, to be clear : IDmobile PAYG sims arrive active? Therefore, if I leave the SIM in the delivery envelope, I will be wasting ( say £9 for 36GB ) the original outlay?
if then, after 60 days, I choose to use the SIM, I can pop in the phone, add credit and off to go ?
thanks for your help …
Sounds about right,
This forum article may help too.
Awaiting clarity from IDMobile representative.
Hi
iD Mobile SIM cards ordered online will be activated upon dispatch.
If you’d like to ‘control’ the date a plan/SIM is active from, you’ll be able to purchase in a store and it’d be active from that date.

Thanks,
cheers.
Hi
No worries, let us know if you need anything else.
