Mobile

iD Mobile, operating within the United Kingdom and across Europe, is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) utilizing the network infrastructure of Three UK. This allows iD Mobile to offer competitive tariffs and services without managing its own extensive physical network. iD Mobile is owned and operated by The Carphone Warehouse Limited (Dixons Carphone), a well-known retailer of mobile phones and electronics in the UK. As an MVNO, iD Mobile focuses on providing flexible plans and data options, targeting cost-conscious consumers and those seeking simpler contracts. It distinguishes itself by offering features such as data rollover and bill capping to provide greater control over spending. The network is identified by its Mobile Country Code (MCC) of 234, representing the United Kingdom, and the Mobile Network Code (MNC) of 54. The prominence of iD Mobile in the UK market is partly due to its affiliation with Carphone Warehouse, providing them with immediate brand recognition and a readily available retail presence. Unlike major network operators like Vodafone, EE, and O2 who maintain extensive network infrastructure, iD Mobile concentrates on service delivery and customer experience. Competitors within the MVNO space in the UK include Giffgaff (owned by O2) and Tesco Mobile (utilizing O2's network). iD Mobile's strategy is often centred on affordability and customisable plans, making it an attractive option for users who may not require the extensive coverage or additional services offered by the larger, established network providers. The use of Thee UK network for its mobile infrastructure gives iD Mobile a wide reach, covering most of the United Kingdom.
