Help about Tesco Mobile

Florintina

Hi i am thinking of switching to tesco mobile because i am hearing good things about their prices.

I bit confused when looking up on their website about free texts, is it only free texts to tesco mobiles if so this is not what i want.

I am looking for unlimited free texts to every network and mabey bit extra for my money .

i see a offer by end june 2013 to sign up its 25 per month unlimited texts, calls, data to seems brill but wondering is this unlimited texts every network or just tesco . any help please?

You can buy an add-on that gives you unlimited texts to any network for €10. Texts to other networks are 10c.
The €25 offer gives you Unlimited Data, Unlimited Calls to TM, Unlimited texts to any network and free calls / texts to TM customers.
Fair usage policies apply.

Im with Tesco Mobile (pre-pay), and because they double the amount of credit you topped up with, ie I top up by 20 they give me another 20 quid, I think its as good as free texts. Have to say though, I dont know many other people on the tesco network, all my friends and family seem to be vodafone.

If you opt-in to the €25 deal, you will be opted in to it even after the deal closes in June. As long as you keep topping up by €25.

Fair Usage is a limit that is acceptable to be taken as unlimited.
Example: Fair usage on the €25 deal is 5000 texts per month, 15GB data and 300 Minutes to TM users.

Yeah, I'd say you'd be fine, might want to check that one though.
5000 texts is great, and if you go over...you've always got €25 and €25 bonus credit to use first. Plus, if you were a very heavy texter you could get the €10 text add on.

Yup. If you had moved a few weeks back you'd have gotten triple credit (like myself) for life., but that's over now. Texts are 10c.

Its 10cent a text I think! You get extra cred. not long after you top up, but the catch is that you have a certain amount of time the extra credit has to be used up in. Think its 1 month.

oh ye forgot about that totally , nd if i didnt use all that credit by end of month even the bonus credit is it gone straight away nd cant get back or stays there? what is the 10 euro unlimited texts? i thought there was already unlimited with the 25 or that different. does unlimited mean no number on how much send

The credit you paid for (I.e, €25) will stay but the bonus credit lasts 1 month.

€10 Unlimited Texts is an add-on you could get on top of your deal. (Probably not needed).
Your definition on unlimited is true, but there is a fair usage policy like said above.

This is what I wanted to know i.e. whether it would end in June or continue on after it.

Bye bye Vodafone and your sucky €30 top-up offer.

Free V to V calls and texts and 500mb internet.

The latter is appalling for the money you pay, especially seeing as I'd have €50 to spend on calls with Tesco and I'll never break the 15gb data cap on a phone but cracked the 500mb in a day before.

No problem :-)
Not hard at all, just a matter of registering the TM number and then porting your current number on the website.
As long as you port it during working hours, it'll be done in minutes.
