It is a good deal as it includes the Blackberry messaging service which is usually an extra £5 a month, will they be happy with the same phone for 2 years?

they will have to, but by then if they want a new phone they can buy it themselves ( my boys are 16 and 17)

Are your boys trustworthy enough to have phones with virtually unlimited credit?

Just cap the tariff? An advantage of Tesco I believe.

grumbler

You cannot *just* cap. It's special capped tariffs and you normally cannot take the above deal and then change the tariff.

Well, I followed the link, clicked Add to Basket and I was asked if I wanted to cap the tariff.
Seems simple enough to me - what am I missing?

grumbler

I stand corrected.
It was me, not you, who was missing. I though that capping was possible only for tariffs listed under 'Capped SIM', not for other pay monthly tariffs.

It was but they expanded the capping recently to any contract.
