    How about Tesco Mobile special offer 500 minutes and unlimited texts, unlimited internet £10 a month . 30 day contract.

    The fair usage policy is as follows:
    Texts: 3000/month
    Internet: 500MB/month

    Where can the tesco deal be found? The Tesco Mobile website seems to suggest only 250 mins and unlimited Internet for only 3 months for £10 a month?
  • just pop in to your nearest tesco (with mobile store) or just ring the number on the website,

    this is a special offer they are doing, the tariff is normally £15 but they are offering it at £10 untill early october

    Cheers. Just to clarify is it £10 a month as long as you keep it going, or will it revert until £15 from November?

    I have never understood why a company would LOCK YOU IN if they are not giving you a subsidised (or free) handset. I would NEVER sign up to a deal that locks me in unless it was to pay off the cost of an expensive handset.

    It's not unlimited if there's a limit on the data!!

    This is the offer I saw on their site:
    • £10 Tariff 1 Month Contract (250 minutes plus unlimited texts and 3 months unlimited data.)
    Terms apply
  • I have recently emailed Virgin to get them to match the Tesco deal as I currently have 2 x £10 liberty SIMS. They have been slow in responding - their initial response simply quoted the Tesco website which as we know does not include the offer as it is only instore - I have advised them of this though. I have quoted that their website shows the £10 liberty SIM as an 'unbeatable deal'. Anyone had any luck getting Virgin to match Tesco or better it?
