Tesco Mobile launches credit crunch contract deal

Tesco Mobile has launched a credit crunch buster of a tariff, responding to the many people concerned about their financial outgoings in the current economic climate.

The new SIM-only tariff is a £10 pay monthly deal which will help mobile users who want to stay on a contract but have a bit less money to spend at the moment.

Research from OFCOM highlights that the average monthly cost of a mobile phone contract is £33.06 and that 40% of mobile phone users say they don’t use all their minutes each month.

However with this new tariff, customers get quadruple credit with the new deal which equates to £40 of flexible credit to use how they like, when they spend £10 a month.

This amount of credit provides up to 400 minutes of calls or 800 texts a month.

Additionally, it is a rolling one month contract – so customers are not tied into a 12 or 18 month contract.

Lance Batchelor, Chief Executive Officer of Tesco Mobile and Tesco Telecoms said: “We know that people see their mobiles as a necessity and won’t give them up for anything.

“This tariff is designed to help anyone who is trying to get more minutes and texts out of their pay-as-you-go top ups or is wanting cut their monthly mobile subscription and unused minutes.”

The deal is the only £10 contract offering available in Tesco stores and means consumers can bypass contract commitment and high costs at a time when they want flexibility.
