What is an eSIM?
An embedded SIM (eSIM) is a digital version of a physical SIM card. Simply activate your eSIM using the QR Code we send you via email, and get connected to iD Mobile hassle-free!
Keep in mind: our eSIMs are for mobile use only, and aren’t currently compatible with tables and wearables.

FAQ's
5G on iD Mobile
5G compatible device and 5G coverage required.
What are pay monthly phones?
Choosing a pay monthly phone means you’ll pay for your handset in instalments over a set period, as part of a mobile phone contract. If you don’t want to pay the full cost of a brand-new phone in one go, this option means you can spread the cost over the course of your contract.
When you choose an iD Mobile phone contract, you’ll pay a monthly fee over the course of a 24-month period.
What’s the difference between a pay monthly phone contract and a SIM only deal?
With a pay monthly contract, you can get your hands on the latest phones and spread their cost over the length of your contract (included with the cost of your minutes, texts, and data). A SIM only deal means just that — you don’t get a phone included. You just pay for your contracted minutes, texts, and data each month.
Can I get a contract with bad credit?
All iD Mobile customers are subject to a credit check when making an order. If you fail our credit check, we’ll send you an email to let you know.
Failing a credit check doesn’t always mean you can’t purchase a pay monthly phone with us – we might just need to look at other options, like a cheaper phone or plan available to you. We’ll always try our best to find something different to suit your needs.
It’s also important that you don’t process multiple orders without first reviewing your initial order results. Multiple credit checks can have a negative effect on your credit rating.
Can I switch my number from another network to an eSIM?
Yes, you can use a PAC or STAC as usual if you wish to keep or ditch your number when joining iD Mobile. If you’re currently using an eSIM with your previous network and plan to switch your number over to iD, we recommend deleting your old eSIM after you’ve successfully downloaded your new iD Mobile eSIM. For additional information, please visit our switching page.
How do I download my eSIM?
You will be sent an email that contains a QR Code to download your eSIM. You will need to download the eSIM directly onto the phone you’ll be using. For a step-by-step guide, check out our helpful Community article.
When will I receive my eSIM QR code if my phone is on pre-order or out of stock?
If your phone gets delayed – because it’s out of stock or on pre-order – and you’ve picked an eSIM at checkout, don’t worry. We’ll send your eSIM as soon as your phone is dispatched. Remember: you’ll have to wait until your phone arrives before you can download the eSIM.
