Sorting sons phone. The phone itself is paid for now so I have selected a sim only deal.

 

Will iDmobile stop taking the old amount automatically?

    Hi ​@Carolyn Ashley

     

    Thank you for getting in touch that’s a really good question.

     

    If you’ve upgraded correctly to a SIM-only plan with iD Mobile, then:

    👉 Yes your old contract charge will stop automatically.

     

    📱 How it works

    • When you upgrade, your new SIM-only plan replaces your old contract
    • You won’t continue paying the old (higher) amount
    • Your billing will switch to the new SIM-only monthly cost going forward


    ⚠️ One thing to be aware of

    • You may still receive a final bill from your old plan
    • This can include:
    • Any remaining charges up to the switch date
    • A pro-rata amount (part-month charge if billing overlaps)


    ✔️ What you should see

    • From your next billing cycle → only the SIM-only price
    • No ongoing charges from the old handset contract


    🚨 Important (just to double-check)

    This only applies if it was processed as an upgrade through your iD account/app.

    If instead a new plan was taken out separately (not as an upgrade):

    • The old contract would still run alongside it
