Tesco best SIM only deals
This month's overall best Tesco Mobile SIM only deal
Out of all Tesco Mobile's SIM only plans they've got running this May, our current best pick would be their £15 one below. It's on a 24‑month deal, gets you 60GB data, plus unlimited minutes and texts as well:
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 + 60GB data (5G) = £9.95 a month (1‑month contract)
See full deal
Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts + 100GB data (5G) = £12 a month (12‑month contract)
See full deal
Tesco's 30GB for £11 plan is a good option too
For those with smaller data needs, have a look at Tesco Mobile's 30GB SIM below at £11 a month, as it's another good deal. It's on a 24‑month plan and comes with 30GB data, unlimited minutes and texts:
You can beat it for price if you don't need your SIM to be with a provider using the O2 network. But if that's a must, then it is the lowest-cost SIM with 30GB data or more. Here's where else you can get a lower price:
Their £11 for 12GB plan is a decent deal for May
If that's more data than you need, another option for you on Tesco, is their 12‑month SIM below, which costs £11 a month for 12GB data and comes with unlimited minutes and texts:
While this is a good enough deal to make it into the best of Tesco's SIMs, you can beat it for price (even if you definitely want a provider that uses the O2 network). See who's offering it for less here:

How Tesco Mobile's SIM only prices and benefits 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.
They offer SIM only plans on 1-month, 12-month and 24-month contracts. You’ll generally get the best value per month by going with a longer contract, but you should compare plans to see if there are any special deals.
Price-wise they normally offer some good value mid-range data deals. Clubcard holders can get exclusive deals that are better than their usual range, but these are only on select tariffs. They’re cheaper than being on O2 directly.
The main benefit being on Tesco is that you can collect Clubcard points from shopping at Tesco stores to get money off your monthly bill and vice versa. They also offer a great inclusive EU roaming scheme.

Useful information about Tesco’s SIM only deals
Tesco Mobile will have your SIM delivered within 1-5 working days depending when you order and where you live, or you can take it directly from a Tesco store. You’ll get each size of SIM to fit any phone. Tesco don’t offer eSIMs (see networks that do).
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 get on a Tesco Mobile SIM contract you’ll have to pass a credit check. However, you can take one of their “Rocket Packs” which are monthly bundles of minutes, texts and data paid up front so you don’t need to pass a credit check.
To keep your number when switching to Tesco Mobile from another network, you can request a PAC from you current provider and sendt it to Tesco whenever.
