Commenting on the announcement that iD Mobile has launched a new ‘data rollover’ feature, allowing customers to take unused megabytes into the following month, Ernest Doku, telecoms expert at Uswitch.com, says:
“Given that we spend £885million on out-of-tariff mobile charges every year, you can see the appeal of rollover data.
“Almost a quarter of Brits regularly exceed their data allowances, each paying an extra £91.20 per year so – for that 23% of mobile customers – iD allowing people to set aside spare gigabytes could be genuinely useful.
“Remember that it only rolls over for one month before expiring, and doesn’t accumulate over the whole 12 or 24-month contract, so you still need to keep an eye on your bills.
“However, while this feature is useful for the odd data-heavy month, people who find themselves going over their limits more regularly are simply on the wrong tariff for their needs.
“If you’re out of contract, you’re free to switch to a deal that better suits your typical usage – just check your bills or call your network for a monthly average. If you’re mid contract, speak to your network about upgrading or improving your existing package.”
