Would I better off going for the €10 Tesco or 48months monthly contract or PAYG Tesco for €15 (including Clubcard points)? To be honest, I only use my phone intermittently, maybe 60 minutes of talk time per month and 100 texts per month but I need at least 1GB data as well.

It sounds like the 48months €10 plan would be best for you., gives you:

- 300 minutes to any network
- Unlimited texts any network
- 1GB of data

If you do decide to sign up with them, PM me and I'll send you a link that you can order a SIM card for them and get €5 off your first month (€10 off if you go with the €20 plan).

As for those saying they are getting a free phone as part of a contract, then fair enough, that is probably the only valid reason to be on a contract. However I would always look at the total cost of a contract + subsidised phone, versus buying the phone unlocked full price. Often it can be cheaper to buy the phone full price up front (and gives you greater flexibility).

Plus you get free credit or cash too!

+1 for the €10 per month, 12-month contract, I'm currently paying Meteor €20 per month for a similar deal so I'll be switching. I want to stick with the O2 network as that's the best coverage where I'll be using.

48months no good me as I'm way beyond that age category.

im 43 yrs old and using 48.ie over a year now and must say great network 10r a month unlimited text to all networks unlimited calls to all networks 20 min land line

Possibly something to do with the possible O2 & Three merger?

No, not due to that. Despite the sale being 'official', it is not approved until the regulator and competition authority have their say, so they'll be separate for at least a year or so. Both networks are acting as normal, separately, and will be for some time, so new and existing contracts and services will be operating as normal.

Tesco and 48months not only both use the o2 network, but they both seem to be owned and run by the same company. Which means they both use the same equipment.

So that means they both suffered the same two outages a few weeks ago.
They both are currently limited to 2mb/s
They both are expecting to upgrade to 21mb/s in November.

Tesco are using an MVNO enabler, called Liffey Telecom (yet are registered for Data under Tesco Mobile Ireland, Limited.), operated by GiffGaff Limited., owned by Telefonica UK, which owns O2 Ireland at present. 48 is wholly owned, only directly, by Telefonica O2, and is seen as an experiment, in a sense.

You are correct, though 48months also use Liffey Telecom as their "enabler" and are thus on the same "network" and equipment as Tesco Mobile. Though you are correct that TM is actually owned by Tesco Ireland, rather then Telefonica, or so it would seem.

Thanks for the clarification.

Fraud?!!

What 48months are doing is very likely illegal under EU age discrimination laws.

That is why I haven't heard a single case of them actually stopping anyone from joining the service. It is a marketing segmentation ploy, not a real restriction.

Tesco have their own webtext facility on their app.

When I try and sign up to this tesco deal it asks me to pay 10!
How do u pay for the 12 months? Is it 10 to start and then 11 months x 10 by direct debit?

You don't need to actually be that age to join 48. Just say you're 18 when your setting up your account. My dad is with 48 and he's in his 50's! Also it works off the O2 network so it could suit you.

what did you put for account name?
it says to use your www.tescomobile.ie username ?

I think it needs to be your number (08x.... ) in both fields now. And make sure Ir's cabbage ultimate. Don't think the fix has made it to the free version yet. It's €1

Vote 4 Pedro · 28-10-2013 10:05AM

I'm on this plan now, for me it's offering all I could need and for 10e a month it's great value

podgeandrodge · 28-10-2013 10:17AM

So what's the main difference between the 48 tenner a month and the tesco tenner a month plan?

ei9go · 28-10-2013 01:06PM

If you are already on o2 and you sign up to 48, can you bring your number with you?

Would not o2 know who you are and your age?

sinjin_smythe · 28-10-2013 01:34PM

Cant seem to get past the payment screen (tesco offer). Trying to click continue but the page doesn't move onto confirmation screen. Anyone else get this?

Gipo3 · 28-10-2013 01:47PM

Same for me.

Looking to switch my dad from his current way overpriced o2 plan to the 48 €20 per month plan. Can someone explain the process if he wants to keep his number? Do you have to call them up then they send out a sim card or do you get a sim card first and then they can do a changeover? Then is it just a case of waiting for your first €20 bill after a month or do you need to pay anything up front?

48 is PAYG methinks.

I'm getting onto VF today to initiate switching the folks over to the Tesco €10 / 12 month plan. Appears to offer pretty decent value in comparison with VF & O2.

Why are you getting on to Voda. Its Tesco you get on to to arrange the transfer from their end. Thats the procedure for all networks.

Tesco sim only €10 a month
