Help me understand Tesco PAYG tariffs!

foomanchu

Tescos have 2 tariffs, PAYG with free credit and PAYG lite. The lite is cheaper but has no free credit - so at a glance the effective costs is similar.

I've got mine for mainly Data & they have a £2/week unlimited plan on both PAYG plans, does anyone know if the free credit is valid for this? If it is the free credit plan is the one for me, it's just a bit confusing from the terms & conditions as there are a few expections of what the free credit can be used for, and the data plan seems to suggest it takes payment from 'normal' credit first. Can anyone shed light on this?

You might want to read the small print and check Tesco's definition of unlimited....especially if you're going with them specifically for data....

You can only use your so called free credit for UK calls, texts, picture messaging and internet browsing, any available free credit gets used up before the top-up you paid for.

Tesco mobile tariff rip off ?

Clearly the 'free credit' is an inclusive, chargable element, and is NOT free.

Thanks for your comments, but the unanswered question is which PAYG tariff is cheapest for the unlimited data? (which I know is not unlimited but that is what it is called)
