Yes, you can use iD Mobile abroad. Roaming is a standard feature included with all iD Mobile phone and SIM-only plans, allowing you to use your UK monthly allowances in numerous international destinations.

iD Mobile Roaming Explained
iD Mobile's roaming feature is designed to offer a seamless experience for travellers. It extends the benefits of your existing plan to international territories, making international communication straightforward.
Key Features of iD Mobile Roaming:
- Standard Inclusion: Roaming is automatically enabled on all iD Mobile phone and SIM-only plans. You don't need to opt in or activate it separately.
- Use Your Allowances: Your monthly UK allowance of minutes, texts, and data is available for use while abroad.
- Data Cap: While you can use your data allowance, there's a fair usage policy with a 30GB data limit when roaming. If your UK allowance is less than 30GB, you can use all of it. If it's more, you're capped at 30GB abroad.
- Extensive Coverage: Roaming is available in 50 destinations worldwide, including all EU/EEA countries.
- Inclusive EU Roaming: Within the EU/EEA, you can take advantage of inclusive roaming, which means your UK allowances are used without extra charges (subject to the 30GB data cap).
What You Can Do While Roaming:
- Browse the internet: Stay updated on news, social media, and travel information.
- Chat with friends and family: Use messaging apps and make calls.
- Send texts: Keep in touch via SMS.
- Stream content: Enjoy music, videos, and podcasts (within the 30GB data limit).
Understanding Your Allowances Abroad
When you travel with iD Mobile, your UK plan allowances transfer with you to the supported roaming destinations. This means you won't incur additional charges for basic usage (calls, texts, data) within these zones, up to the specified limits.
