How do I sign up to iD Mobile PAYG?

Hello, the pricing and the plan seems perfect for my mum who very rarely uses her phone: Best pay as you go Sim deals: Compare the best offers - MSE (moneysavingexpert.com)

However, the iD Mobile page seems to not have true PAYG? It only has monthly SIM only plans listed under their PAYG page. Any idea what I'm doing wrong please?

Those are PAYG plans with a month's bundle added, not monthly plans. After a month the plan will lapse and you can top-up and just use your credit for calls/text/data (3p/2p/1p) or buy another bundle.

I can't see anywhere on their website to order a bundle-free SIM.

Thank you! Okay that's good to know, so potentially just a one off payment at £6 to get the SIM (and the data etc) and then switch to regular PAYG after that

Be aware on iDmobile PAYG you need to top up £10 every 2 months.
So effectively a £5 contract/30 day contract.

For £1 extra (with a bundle) you get unlimited calls and SMS and 1GB data.
Or for £1 extra on 30 day contract, you get unlimited call and SMS and 4GB data.

To me the PAYG, even with bundle, doesn't look attractive (unless your credit rating means you would get a contract).

Hardly use your device? Just add £10 to your SIM every two months. Find yourself in need of more data one week? Add more credit, and roam at your leisure.

Thanks! I noticed that but searching on their forum it looks like the £10 every 2 months is just a suggested amount (confirmed by their actual staff on there)
