Tesco launching a cheap alternative to mobile phone contracts

One of the things we all dislike about our mobiles is that we have to pay for our contracts every month, sometimes with some expensive surprises that tip the financial balance that we have. If your mobile phone contract is eating away at your wages each month, then we’re sure thatyou’ve already thought about cheaper alternatives.



Tesco may have given us one.



Tesco customers are starting to invest in a handset and then paying monthly for a SIM-only plan. If an individual decided to switch, they could save hundreds over the course of their year in comparison to a more traditional mobile phone contract with another provider.





Tesco mobile



Tesco mobile have been around for a little while now, and they are pretty popular with people searching for a bargain on their mobiles and mobile contracts.



Some of the plans available from Tesco mobile seem too good to be true, but we’ve gathered together a pick of their plans to show you how much you could be spending every month if you decided to switch.





Data plans

£6 a month: 100MB of data, 100 minutes, 5000 texts

£10 a month: 3GB of data, 500 minutes, 5000 texts

£12.50 a month: 6GB of data, 5000 minutes, 5000 texts

Are you someone who typically uses more data than the 6GB listed on the £12.50 a month data plan? Tesco still have you covered. With the same amount of minutes and texts (that being 5000 each), Tesco also offer a £18 a month deal with 20GB of data, and a £40 a month plan for 50GB of data.



With so many plans to suit every kind of phone user, and a price range between £6 and £40 a month, what’s not to like?





Switch today

For any readers interested in switching to Tesco mobile, you should know that Tesco also sell a number of SIM-free handsets from as little as £19. These mobile phones can take any SIM card, making trying out Tesco, or another provider, that much easier.



Try to shop around a little before you decide on a new provider for your mobile phone, and make sure that there are no hidden costs for switching or going over your plan’s limits – for example, most plans like the ones at Tesco will simply make you unable to use your mobile’s data if you run out, whereas a contracted phone may start charging you per MB used.





The biggest benefits



Tesco mobile offers 4G with all of their contracts, which means that your apps will run smoothly, maps will load quicker, websites are faster to display their information, and you’ll experience less video buffering.



Tesco also offer “Free perks” when you have more than one contracted mobile phone on your account. This means that all of your family’s contracts on your account get their own “Family Perk” each, every month, and they can change it any time. You can choose from extra data, minutes, Clubcard points, or money off.
