eSIM use
Can I use an eSIM from a different company, would like to use one that provides good cover in Asia at a lower cost than adding on. Any views?

Hi
Yes, you can use an eSIM from another provider alongside your ID Mobile account. Many customers do this when travelling, as some networks offer better coverage or cheaper rates in certain regions like Asia.
You’ll need to make sure:
Your phone is unlocked to accept a different eSIM.
You don’t remove your ID Mobile eSIM if you still want to receive calls/texts from your UK number.
You check compatibility with your device and the network you choose.
This can be a cost-effective alternative to adding extra data or roaming packages from ID Mobile.
