Is the Tesco Lite PAYG service still available to new customers?
As title really. Hardly make any calls on my mobile but still find it handy for the odd occasion. AFAIK Tesco Lite is still 8p / min calls and 4p / text message, but I can't see a way to sign up for it on their web pages. If anyone knows that would be helpful, otherwise I'll give them a bell on Monday.
