I’ve read that the new iPhone 14 range are eSIM only and I’ve noticed that ID are showing them for pre-order. Does this mean that ID Mobile will be supporting eSIM’s? I will be getting an iPhone 14 pro and was hoping that I will not be forced to move to a different network!
Answer
iPhone 14 and eSIM

Nope, unlikely iD will offer an eSIM option anytime soon
To use an eSIM, the mobile network operator needs to allow remote provisioning, which means investing in infrastructure and IT systems.
Given all the UK operators are investing 3G switch-off, 4G enhancement, and 5G deployment, my guess is any eSIM support is well down their to-do lists.

That’s very helpful, thanks. It does seem puzzling that they are therefore selling a phone that can’t use their network!

I suspect outside the US, an iPhone 14 will still have a SIM card tray (supporting a nano-SIM).
Hey
So, you’ll be able to use an iD Mobile SIM in there :)
Thanks,

Hey
Iphone 14 has both eSIM and nano-SIM so standard SIM card should be good. Luckily just bought ID mobile sim card 60 Gig for a tenner. 5g here we come.

Sorry, typo :) Any devices outside of the US will have SIM card trays.
