iD Mobile is a mobile network owned by Dixons Carphone that uses Three's network. It offers a range of great value Pay Monthly, Pay As You Go and SIM Only plans.
In March 2010, TalkTalk and Carphone Warehouse split and Dido Harding became CEO of TalkTalk, and Roger Taylor CEO of New Carphone Warehouse. Dunstone remained Chairman of both companies. On 30 April 2013, Carphone Warehouse agreed to purchase Best Buy's 50% stake in Best Buy Europe for £500 million.
Ending your contractIf you want to end your contract but keep your number, we'll give you a PAC code to give to your new network. The code will be valid for 30 days. If you use it to switch to a new network, your contract with us will be cancelled once the switching process has completed.
Why can I no longer buy EE or O2 here? We've decided to move to a new type of mobile offer, which is more flexible and transparent and will continue to offer exceptional value. We still range a wide selection of networks, including the award-winning iD Mobile, Vodafone, Voxi and Virgin Media.
John Lewis and Carphone Warehouse are among the top names on the high street to haggle with, new research from MoneySavingExpert.com reveals.
Possible to buy a phone from o2? You can pay off the device plan immediately and give 30 days notice to cancel the airtime, which means you pay for 1 month, or buy the phone outright on a PAYG tariff, but there's no need to use the PAYG sim. All O2 phones are sold unlocked so any sim from any network will work in them.

Carphone Warehouse to close all standalone stores at cost of 2,900 jobs. Carphone Warehouse is to close all its 531 standalone stores on 3 April, resulting in 2,900 redundancies. The firm says the move is not related to the coronavirus outbreak, but was because of the changing mobile market.
The networks pay them for getting new customers. The benefit for you as a customer is that Carphone Warehouse have huge buying power for phones, meaning they can sell lower-priced contracts than the networks themselves. They also overlay extra offers on top too.

With O2 Refresh we automatically lower your bill when you've paid off your phone. O2 Refresh splits your Pay Monthly bill into two parts. The Device Plan is the cost of your phone or tablet, and the Airtime Plan is the cost of your data, minutes and texts.
Flex your data monthlyThis means you can change your airtime tariff up or down, once a month. Simply sign in to My O2, and choose the tariff you want to move to. If you move to a lower tariff, you could lose some of your benefits, even if you later move back to a higher tariff.
With O2 Refresh, there's no penalty for ending your contract early. All you have to do is pay off the balance of your Phone Plan. There's no termination charge for ending your Airtime Plan once you've settled your Phone Plan.
O2 Refresh lets you change phones whenever you want. It works by splitting your bill into two parts: a Phone Plan and an Airtime Plan. The Phone Plan is the cost of the phone.
Upgrading your phone or tabletIf you're on O2 Refresh, you can upgrade early with nothing to pay upfront. Just pay off your Device Plan as soon as you like and choose the new phone or tablet you want. Sign in to My O2 to see your options.
