Tesco Mobile
Tesco Mobile is a good combination of the latest smartphones and cheaper prices than the leading mobile carriers.
History
Established in 2003, Tesco Mobile was founded by the famous supermarket chain and continues to rise in popularity due to it being a cheaper alternative to more high-profile mobile providers. Since its launch, it has offered the vast majority of the major smartphone brands, including Apple, Nokia, Samsung and Sony.
A constantly moving network
When it first started, one of the criticisms it came up against was the lack of mobile coverage. This has changed dramatically since it began working on the same network as fellow provider O2. As such, Tesco Mobile now has a 99% network coverage rate in the UK, meaning that there are very few places where you won’t be able to get signal or 4G mobile broadband.
Since its inception, Tesco Mobile has prided itself on being a simple, user friendly service that anyone can use. It offers a huge number of tariffs and deal types, so whether you’re looking for a simple pay-as-you-go phone or the latest smartphone on a pay monthly deal, you’ll be able to find it with Tesco.
A cheaper provider
Pay monthly with Tesco is often cheaper than the equivalent with other providers, meaning that you can often find yourself a bargain when you’re looking for the latest phone. Unlike other providers, Tesco breaks down what you’re paying for the phone and what you’re paying for the contract, allowing you to be clear about your monthly bill.
Tesco Mobile also offers a broad range of pay-as-you-go phones at some of the cheapest prices available. If you’re looking for a simple phone, Tesco has a number for under £20. Tesco will also triple your initial top-up, meaning if you spend £10 on credit, Tesco will give you £20 extra for free.
Tesco Mobile top up online
If you know you're unlikely to use all the data, minutes and texts that come with monthly mobile phone tariffs, pay-as-you go is probably a lot more attractive to you. Tesco Mobile allow you to top up online, and they say it's the easiest way to keep credit on your sim card. You can either top-up as a guest for one-off payments, or you can set up an account in order to make one-off, regular payments and automatic top ups using a credit card, debit card or PayPal.
You can even top-up and check your balance on the Tesco Mobile pay as you go app!
You can also top-up your sim over the phone. The Tesco Mobile top up number is free to call from your Tesco Mobile device on 4444, or call from 0345 940 0000 if you're on a landline.
