We think Tesco Mobile's best value option on SIM only this April is their £13 a month plan below, which comes with 60GB data, plus unlimited minutes and texts on a 24‑month deal:

It's actually possible to beat this deal if you're not fussed whether your SIM is with a provider using the O2 network. But if you are, it is the current best-priced option. Here's where you can beat it on other networks:

Tesco's 12GB for £9 plan is a good option too

If you wouldn't get through that much data, we think this 12GB is one of the best SIM only plans on Tesco Mobile too. It's on a 24‑month deal, comes with unlimited minutes and texts - all for £9 a month:

It might not be the lowest-cost SIM only deal with 12GB data or more on the entire market but if you're sure you need a SIM using the O2 network, it is the best-priced. See lower-priced networks' deals here:

Their £8 for 2GB plan is a decent deal for April

For a smaller chunk of monthly data, we also think this £8 Tesco Mobile SIM is one of their best options. It comes with 2GB data, unlimited minutes and texts on a 12‑month deal:

It does enough to get into our pick of Tesco's best SIMs but that doesn't mean it's unbeatable on price. Other providers (even ones that use the O2 network) can beat it. Here are other networks you can beat it on:

How Tesco Mobile’s benefits and SIM only prices compare

We go over all of Tesco’s benefitsRead our full review

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.

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.
