Say Hello to eSIM on iD Mobile
Get ready to experience a whole new level of mobile connectivity with iD Mobile! iD Mobile (owned by Currys) is now offering eSIM support on their network.
Say goodbye to the hassle of physical SIM cards and embrace the convenience of eSIM—it’s like having a digital SIM card built right into your phone!
What’s eSIM?
It’s a digital SIM card built right into your phone, ditching the need for a physical card. This allows for:
- Faster switching between providers: No more waiting for a new SIM in the mail!
- Dual network usage: Have your main iD Mobile plan and an additional network (e.g., for travel) on the same phone.
To activate your eSIM, just scan the QR code we send you by post and follow the provided setup instructions.
Why choose eSIM on iD Mobile?
- It’s convenient. No need to wait for your SIM to arrive in the post. You’ll receive your eSIM via email shortly after you’ve completed a purchase.
- More secure and durable: Since eSIMs are built into your device, they’re much less likely to get damaged or lost compared to those tiny physical SIM cards.
- Double digits. You can have two active numbers and seamlessly switch between them.
Ready to join the eSIM revolution on iD Mobile?
- Check if your device is eSIM-compatible.
- Select eSIM when purchasing your plan.
- We’ll send you an activation code or QR code straight to your email.
- Follow the simple instructions on your phone to scan the QR code or enter the activation code.

At iD Mobile, we’re all about making mobile connectivity smarter, easier, and more fun. With the launch of eSIM, we’re taking things to the next level and inviting you to join us on this exciting journey.
Here’s the catch (maybe):
Currently, activating an eSIM with iD Mobile might require contacting customer service. Self-service options are expected soon.
Also, their Q&A section seems outdated, suggesting no eSIM support at all (including Apple Watch). This is likely a mistake, so hold off on panicking.
Here’s a breakdown of eSIM support among UK mobile providers:
Supporting eSIM:
- Major Networks: EE, O2, Three (iD Mobile – uses Three’s network), Vodafone
- Smaller Providers: Lycamobile, giffgaff
Not Currently Supporting eSIM:
- Major Networks: None
- Smaller Providers: Smarty (MVNO on Three’s network) – have expressed interest but have no confirmed launch yet. There might be other smaller providers that haven’t launched eSIM yet. It’s always best to check directly with the provider you’re interested in.
So, what are you waiting for? Switch to eSIM on iD Mobile today and experience the future of mobile connectivity! Let’s make the world a little greener and a lot more connected, one eSIM at a time.
