So I have a sim only for a 12 month contract, my upgrade is due on the 07/05/2026 since it’s been 6 months, does that also mean I can upgrade with Carphone warehouse as well to a device?

Hi ​@Wintriplukas98

 

  • iD Mobile SIM-only customers are typically eligible to upgrade after around 6 months, depending on account status
  • Being eligible means you can upgrade your handset or change plan before your contract officially ends
  • Your exact eligibility date will always be shown in the app

 

🔄 Check if you’re eligible to upgrade
1. In the same Plan section, scroll to Upgrade options
2. Tap “Upgrade your plan” (if shown)
3. The app will tell you:

  • Eligible to upgrade now → you can proceed with an upgrade
  • Not yet eligible → it will show the earliest upgrade date

Please note you can also contact our sales team via Live Chat or  0800 049 0250 for further assistance.

Hi ​@Wintriplukas98.

 

 Yes, you can upgrade at a Currys / Carphone Warehouse store as well.

 

You’ll just need to take your details with you and the store team will be able to check your upgrade options and process this for you.

 

If you need anything else, feel free to let us know

 

Thanks,
