Tesco mobile broadband launches: 15GB/€15 PAYG

Tesco Mobile have launched both PAYG and Pay Monthly PAYG plans. The stand out offer is the PAYG 15GB for €15 when you set it against €22 for 15GB on a 3 12 month contract and €20 for 10GB with the likes of Vodafone contracts.

There is a 30 day contract of 50GB for €30 SIM only. It compares well with 3's 60GB for €35 plus its on the much faster o2 network than the poor 3 one at present (I know as I am on the 3 Broadband Pro contract). They have not put up details of their contract for the Mifi device yet.

As a flat per month cost yes. At €15 they are the cheapest from waht I can see. But for per gig 3 offers the best value with 20 gig for €35 working out at €1.75 per gig. Tesco is €2 per gig.

Thats not actually any better than TM. €15 top-up gives you free calls and that €15 equates to 7.5GB of data if bought as part of the 5GB/€10 add-ons.

TM are going to have claw my 15GB of free data for life with a €25 top-up out of my cold dead hands....

I see.

I guess the 4G part is unique then.

I may look for a better 4G deal in the future.

EDIT: The 3 deal looks way better as you get to keep the 20 euro top up whereas with Meteor it is gone the second you top up.

The BEREC workshop warned that prices would increase after this merger - I guess they were right. There's a link in the Irelandoffline forum with the youtube video.

They are also raising prices on calls and texts...

Got this text during the week...

"We have updated our pricing for pay as you go customers. From the 4th April our new rates are 30c per minute for domestic calls and 14c per domestic text. For more info see tescomobile.ie/pricechange"

why not make the allowance zero in that case....

but your honnner the price hasn't changed !

all terms must remain for the duration of a contract... if there is no contract terms can be readily changed.

bought the modem and took up the 15 euro for 15 gb offer only 3 weeks ago. got the email today to say it would be 7.5GB from the 9th of april so will be looking for a new provider.

That's strange, as i saw a reply from Tesco on their forum y'day, that only the out of bundle's were changing!

Disgrasfull the way Tesco treat there customers. By the way there is a legality which stops vodafone/o2/meteor putting up prices on old plans . What makes Tesco so special they can get away with this . Complain to comreg . The more of us do the better

I have a Tesco mobile phone and last month bought the 15gb for €15 (plus €45 for the mobile modem).

Has anybody shopped around for better deals as Tesco don't seem to be offering much value at the moment.

padyjoe

Yep I suspect the same thing: 3 clearing their portfolio up. I wish O2 had bought 3 not the other way around! They're the worst provider in this country! None of the providers saint though.

PS the 50GB/€30 month contract no longer seems to be on offer.

Tesco mobile have apparently texted users of the 15GB/€15 PAYG broadband that the allowance will be halving to 7.5GB. This on top of increasing their put of bundle call charges to 30c and texts to 14c means TM have gone to the dark side of late!

I wonder has this anything to do with 3 mobile taking over O2?

Have the data plan, have the 3g signal on the interface but the WAN symbol says disconnected, tried everything to get it going... It's so frustrating. Cheers I'll look into that

NinetyForNone

Did you buy the data plan? One month or three for €15. There is a talk to tesco mobile forum on boards too.

I'm having much the same problem as mikeedk but with a Huawei E5332 unlocked from o2, I have tried everything I found online and and still nothing, Have the sim topped up and should be ready to go but just isn't... Any help appreciated

mikeedk

Hi everyone, I am having problem with getting my tesco mobile broadband working. I have Huawei E5520 unlocked (originally it was Meteor) dongle. I have topped up my tesco mobile simcard, tried to change APN to both tescomobile.liffeytelecom.com and tmidata but neither of those ia working. I have roaming on, sim is active but still cant connect to the internet. Any ideas anyone? Thank you

The 'Light' is now just 3GB over 90 days - was that always the case?

Yes, see post #5 on this thread, it's intended for light and infrequent users. Won't suit everyone.

You can still get 15GB 'Heavy' for 30 days for €15, but for 90 Days (€15 also) is now just 3GB for the €15.

Does that mean it's just 1GB a month?

Was going to get it for one of my parents, as they would use very little when taking their laptop out but 3GB seems very very small indeed.

I should have a huawei e5332 unlocked with a 15 euro topup for sale soon on adverts. It'll be 40 euro, pm if anyone is interested.

Decided to go UPC instead

It's worse than that. I went into Arthur's Quay late on a Saturday night and was told they were waiting for stock. Went back on Monday morning and there were loads of them in a locked cabinet right behind the person I had spoken to previously.

Late Saturday = part timers. During the regular working week = full timers!

It's poor service by Tesco to make it this difficult to buy a Data Sim in Store.

They should be available everywhere, or at least put up a list of stores on their Website which are selling the news Sims.

The data SIMs can only be bought in stores that have a phone shop, ie a dedicated sales person/stall. Wilton in Cork sell them but Douglas dont. (or at least didnt)
