    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I went into a local Tesco Extra and they told me I had to go to a store that had the phone shop. I got this yesterday. DH was on the £15 already with them, so they gave him the option of either getting it at the reduced price of £10 or sticking with the £15 per month and having 750 minutes of calls which he opted for instead.
  • Where/How is it reduced to £10 :o:o

    It's in-store only, and stores with phone shops for a limited time...10 Oct I think.

    For some strange reason it is only available instore but the deal is the same as the online £15 deal but you pay £10.
    Some have been phoning Tesco mobile & manged to get it that way. 0845 301 4455
    Ends 10th October 2010

    Quote from under par
    I phoned the Tesco mobile 0845 number and booked my sim for £10 a month.
    The call taker was really helpful and set it all up in 10 mins, including parental control. Sim is for my daughter.

    Being delivered in 3 days

    I rang the FREE 0800 433 4990 number and they set it up for me. Took 5 mins, sim arived after two days.

    Only slight issue is that I had to pay from the 1st even though it started on the 11th. Only really cost me about £3.50, but would have been annoyd if I was on a £40+ tarriff! Better to ring after the 15th I believe if it concerns you.

    I have a PAYG phone from Orange. Will I be able to use this phone as a contract phone and will I be able to keep my number?

    If the phone is unlocked it shouldn't be a problem. If not Google the model and you may find a way of unlocking it for free.
    As for your number, you will need to phone Orange CS and ask for your PAC (porting authorisation code) and once you have that contact Tesco CS with this number. Transfer will take about 3 working days from making the call.

    No but I might try my son's vodaphone sim in it.. I bought the phone from carphone warehouse and I'm sure I read that the phones that they supply are usually unlocked.
