Worth knowing: this page isn't run by Tesco Mobile or its parent company. For anything account-specific, you'd need to go through Tesco Mobile's own channels.
Tesco Mobile is the biggest of the UK's piggyback networks, running entirely on O2's masts, and it's picked up Uswitch's best-service award five years running.
Plans on offer
Tied closely to the wider Tesco loyalty scheme.
- SIM only on 30-day rolling or 12-month terms
- Clubcard Price plans hold the same monthly cost for the whole term
- Points land on both your monthly bill and any PAYG top-ups
Signal and speed
Borrowed entirely from O2's network.
- 4G and 5G match O2's coverage exactly, postcode for postcode
- O2's newer satellite layer doesn't extend to Tesco Mobile customers
- Worth checking O2's own coverage map before joining, since they're identical
Going abroad
Branded Home From Home, and genuinely generous for a piggyback network.
- 48 destinations included free, on your normal UK allowance
- Covers the EU plus Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, the Channel Islands, Isle of Man
- Capped at 62 continuous days abroad within any four-month spell
Moving on or in
Same Ofcom rules as everywhere else.
- PAC to 65075 keeps your number when you leave
- No credit check needed for SIM only
- Confirm O2 signal at your address first, since coverage is identical
A quick note on who we are: neylscout (neylscout.online) is run by independent researchers, not by any mobile network. We write about Three, O2, EE, Tesco Mobile, Vodafone, Sky Mobile, and iD Mobile because people ask us about them — none of these companies sponsor us, pay us, or have any say in what we publish. We are not a reseller and we never sell airtime, SIMs, or contracts through this site, and you won't find a single price on these pages, because prices move too often for us to keep accurate. If you ring the number on this site or fill in our form, you'll reach our own small team — never a network's official support desk, and never anyone able to touch your account. Every brand name and logo colour you see here belongs to the company it names; we use them only so you can tell which network a page is about, not to suggest any partnership. Treat everything here as a starting point for your own research, and check the final word with the network directly before you commit to anything.
