We think Tesco Mobile's best value option on SIM only this May is their £13 a month plan below, which comes with 60GB data, plus unlimited minutes and texts on a 24‑month deal:
Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts + 60GB data (5G) = £15 £13 a month (24‑month contract)

This isn't the very cheapest deal with 60GB data or more out now. But if you definitely need a SIM only plan that uses the O2 network, we think it is the best option. See the networks that beat it here:
Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts + 63GB data (5G) = £9 a month (24‑month contract)

For people who don't need that much data, you might like the £9 SIM only deal running on Tesco Mobile at the moment. It's a 24‑month plan, which comes with 12GB data, unlimited minutes and texts too:
Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts + 12GB data (5G) = £10 £9 a month (24‑month contract)

You can get a lower-priced SIM with 12GB data or more elsewhere if you don't need it to use the O2 network. But if you do need that, it is the cheapest deal available. Here are the networks where it'd cost less:

If that'd be too much data for you, we'd say this is one of Tesco's best deals on SIM only this month too. It's a 12‑month plan, comes with 2GB data, unlimited minutes and texts for £8 a month:
Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts + 2GB data (5G) = £8 a month (12‑month contract)
See full deal
It's definitely one of Tesco's best. But it's not market-leading. You can get a similar plan on other providers for less, even if you need your SIM to use the O2 network. See which networks that are cheaper here:
Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts + 10GB data (4G) = £8 £4 a month for 6 months, then £8 (1‑month plan, no contract)

How Tesco Mobile’s benefits and SIM only prices compare
In our review of Tesco Mobile we said we liked the fact that you get access to O2’s great mix of coverage, as well as O2’s fast 5G network. They offer the same coverage experience as being on O2 directly.
You can take a 1-month, 12-month or 24-month contract. Usually, the longer the contract the less you’ll pay each month, but it’s worth comparing plans here to check for any special deals on different plans.
Tesco tend to offer good value on mid-range data plans. And if you’ve got a Clubcard you can get better value deals than their regular range, but only on certain tariffs. They typically offer better value than O2.
One massive benefit is that you can collect Clubcard points from shopping at Tesco stores to get money off your monthly bill and vice versa. And you get extra benefits for adding other users onto your account.

Handy information about Tesco’s SIM only plans
Your Tesco Mobile SIM will be delivered within 1-5 working days (depends where you live and when you ordered). Or you can take one from a Tesco store. You’ll get every size of SIM, but you can’t get an eSIM.
You’ll have 14 days after your SIM arrives to return it if you’re not satisfied. You’ll get a full refund, even if you’ve used some of your data. Here’s how you can do it.
To join any Tesco SIM only contract you’ll have to pass a credit check. If you’ve got a bad or no credit history you can still join them by taking out a “Rocket Pack” which are bundles of mins, texts and data.
To keep your number when switching to Tesco Mobile from another network, you can request a PAC from you current provider and send it to Tesco whenever.
