We're iD Mobile, one of the UK's leading mobile virtual network operators. We launched in May 2015 and have over 2.3 million Pay Monthly customers. We're pretty sure our success has a lot to do with our wide range of feature-packed plans. We offer everything from super-value Pay-as-you-go and SIM-only deals, right up to the latest smartphones from the big-name manufacturers. We're delighted about our success so far and have very ambitious plans for the future.

iD Mobile is an exciting place to work. We're a relatively young and dynamic start-up, and we value innovation, imagination, and creativity. If you've got a great idea, we'll help you run with it. We're passionate about finding new ways to address our customers' needs. We're a little different to other start-ups though, because we're part of Currys PLC, Europe's leading electrical and mobile retailer. So, while iD Mobile has only been going for a few years, we're part of a much bigger family.

Tech and Transformation are at the heart of delivering the future vision for Currys. We drive innovation that creates seamless, secure experiences for customers and colleagues - whether migrating to the latest technology, enhancing security, or deploying smart tools to our stores.
