Tesco Mobile Information for 2022

Not content on offering a range of essential services all under one roof with opticians and pharmacies or helping you save on groceries, but Tesco also has a mobile network to bring those phone bills down.

Although they’re not a name you’d normally associate with mobile phones and networks Tesco’s mobile network gives 99% of the UK access to 4G. They do this by sharing O2’s network. You can use their handy mobile network coverage checker to see the level of 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G coverage you can expect in your area.

You’ll also be able to collect Clubcard points with your phone bill. You’ll collect 1 point for every £1 you spend on your mobile bill. You just have to simply connect your phone to your Clubcard and you’ll be collecting points in no time. To connect your phone to your Clubcard you just need to text ‘CLUBCARD’ to 28578 from your Tesco mobile. Once you’ve collected enough points, you can also redeem them as vouchers to use against your bill.

Tesco Mobile has phones from all of the biggest names to suit any budget. So whether you want the latest Apple iPhone or the newest Android Samsung Galaxy, Nokia or Motorola phone you’ll find what you’re looking for.

For customers who aren’t looking for the most cutting-edge smartphone and are aiming to keep those monthly bills low, Tesco Mobile also has a selection of budget smartphones from only £7.50 a month. As well as phones from brands such as Samsung, Apple and Motorola, there are offerings from brands such as OPPO, Alcatel, Xiaomi and IMO.

With 5G rolling out across the UK giving mobile users ever faster mobile internet, Tesco Mobile is offering a range of 5G-ready mobile phones for their customers to take advantage of faster data speeds.

With a Clubcard, you’ll collect points on mobile contracts, as well as get access to exclusive Clubcard prices. We've previously had deals here at MyVoucherCodes for up to £198 off mobile contracts at Tesco Mobile.

A monthly contract can be a great way to get a new phone. With a monthly contract, the price of your handset will be included in your monthly bill along with the cost of your monthly allowance of minutes, texts and data.

Vanessa Tsai over at MoneySupermarket says that a monthly contract can make phone prices more manageable as they spread the cost of the handset over the length of the contract. Mobile phone networks will often offer customers rewards and incentives to sign up for monthly contracts getting you even more for your money.

To check out the latest pay monthly deals head on over to the Pay Monthly contract section of Tesco Mobile’s site. Once you’ve done that be sure to check out the latest Tesco Mobile discount codes and deals.

If you like having a monthly contract with a fixed monthly fee and a set monthly allowance of minutes, texts and data but you’ve already got a phone you’re happy with or would rather pay for one outright then a SIM Only deal could be for you. According to Holly Cox over at Compare The Market SIM Only deals can work out cheaper, are more flexible and let you upgrade your phone whenever you’d like and are more environmentally friendly.

Tesco offers a range of SIM Only deals from only £7.50. When selecting a SIM Only deal at Tesco Mobile you have the choice of either a 12 month or 24-month contract. With a Clubcard, you can gain access to special Clubcard prices on contracts and collect 1 point for every £1 you spend on your monthly bill.

Pay As You Go phones let you control your spending on your mobile the most out of any plan. As Holly Thomas at the Evening Standard points out that you only use what you pay for, so if you find yourself not using all of your monthly allowances on a hefty pay monthly contract, a Pay As You Go deal may save you in the long run. It’s also fully flexible and you can move between networks and packages with ease. You’ll need your own handset to take advantage of a Pay As You Go deal but if you’re not always on your phone and are coming towards the end of a contract, they can be a great option.

Tesco Mobile often have deals and incentives on Pay As You Go phones to help you save and get more for your money. To see all of the latest phones on offer on Pay As You Go, head over to the Pay As You Go section on Tesco Mobile’s website.

If you’re after a new phone but don’t mind being the first person to use it, Tesco Mobile offer their customers a range of refurbished phones. Tesco Mobile’s range of refurbished phones come in a like new condition and, for extra peace of mind, refurbished phones come with an extended 24-month warranty and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

As with all Tesco Mobile pay monthly contracts, you’ll earn yourself 1 Clubcard point for every £1 you spend.

Tesco Mobile love to offer their customers special offers and deals to help bring those mobile costs down. You’ll find all of the latest deals at Tesco Mobile here. We’ve previously had deals for up to £198 off mobile phones and contracts as part of a special offer here at MyVoucherCodes.

When travelling abroad you can take advantage of what Tesco Mobile calls ‘Home From Home.’ This list of 48 locations includes all countries in the EU as well as some other favourite holiday destinations. You can see a full list of destinations included in Home From Home here.

When using your phone in a Home From Home location any minutes, texts or data used will be taken from your allowances at no extra cost (even if you’re on a pay-as-you-go plan). If you use up your allowance then any extra used will also only be charged at the standard UK rate and if you’re on a capped contract your bill will never be more than you expect.

To start taking advantage of Home From Home you don’t need to sign up for anything extra or use your phone any differently, just simply go on holiday, enjoy yourself and use your phone as normal.

If you’re travelling to a country outside of the Home From Home list, your phone usage will be subject to roaming charges. You can see how much the extra cost will be before you travel on the Tesco Mobile website.

With ever-increasing bills, the cost of living is continuously going up. Mobile phone bills are no exception. According to Grace Gausden at The I, mobile phone bills will have risen by as much as 11.7% in 2022. In response to this Tesco have fixed their prices on their mobile contracts.

We all know it can be tempting to stay with your normal network, you know how everything works and you’ve had the same number for years. But if you’re looking at joining Tesco Mobile from another network to save on your bills, then you can keep your number so there’s no need to learn any new digits.

To keep your number you’ll need to get your PAC code. When moving to Tesco Mobile they; 'll work to move everything along as quickly as possible, but it can take up to 5 days for your number to move over to your new SIM card. For full instructions on what to do when changing networks, Tesco Mobile have a page with all the information you need to know.
