About Tesco Mobile
Tesco Mobile is the UK's largest MVNO with approximately 5.7 million customers. It operates on O2's network via a 50/50 joint venture between Tesco plc and Virgin Media O2, renewed January 2024. Launched in 2003, Tesco Mobile has consistently been rated #1 for customer satisfaction by Ofcom — a remarkable achievement for an MVNO competing against all four major MNOs. The reason: Clubcard integration, frozen prices on Clubcard plans, and accessible in-store support at Tesco supermarkets nationwide.

★★★★★
"Same O2 signal, £14/month cheaper. And I earn Clubcard points on top. Honestly one of the best decisions I've made. No price rise last April either while O2 customers paid £2.50 more."

"Three years on Tesco Mobile and my price hasn't changed once. On O2 I was paying £2.50 more each April. For most people this is the obvious choice if coverage is the same."
