Price war expected with arrival of new mobile network

A new report by Killbiller indicates that iD is aiming to be the most affordable provider of 4G in Ireland. Analysts claim that an average SIM-only price plan on iD will cost consumers €20.18 per month; this is €166 per year less than its competitors.
