Tesco Mobile, which is a virtual mobile operator (mvno) on O2’s national 4G and 5G network, appears to have confirmed that it will continue its tradition of freezing contract prices for Clubcard customers for another year, which guarantees that “your monthly costs stay the same for the entire length of your contract“.
However, this does mean that non-Clubcard Price deals are still subject to an annual price increase. For example, Tesco Mobile are currently offering their 12GB plan (inc. unlimited calls and texts) for £9.50 per month to Clubcard customers with frozen prices for a 12-month term, while non-Clubcard customers pay £11 per month for the same deal and will then see a price increase to £11.66 from 1st April 2026.
The catch is that not all of Tesco’s mobile plans and handset bundles seem to offer exclusive Clubcard Price deals, which means that annual price rises on those will still apply even if you have a Clubcard.

Laura Joseph, Chief Customer Officer at Tesco Mobile, said:
“As the UK faces a cold snap, Tesco Mobile is putting mid-contract price rises firmly on ice. We’re proud to offer frozen prices on our exclusive Clubcard Price deals, guaranteeing that your monthly costs stay the same for the entire length of your contract.
For anyone reconsidering their options after recent price hikes across the market, Tesco Mobile provides a simple alternative: transparent pricing, frozen costs, and genuine value through Clubcard. Whatever the weather, at Tesco Mobile we help families stay connected without the stress of unexpected increases.”

There are bound to be better offers out there without having to bother with a silly so-called loyalty card
Saying that, get the card, get the deal and never bother with Tescos again.
I suspect most people go there for brand recognition and/or retail presence.
You would expect a big firm like Tesco to offer a better deal than £8 for 2 Gigabytes of data on a 12 Month contract with price increase, when a firm like Lebara charge only £4.50 for 5 Gigabytes, same 12 Month term and no price increase. My experience of Tesco is when the store is open, on many occasions the Mobile department is closed because of different opening times, or through staff shortage.
I used to live in Paisley, my back ‘garden’ was pretty much a gate to the car park of their small/medium sized store. The ‘mobile’ section used to be 3/4 ‘feature phones’ (ones that would probably only get bought by a certain type of entrepreneur) on a kiosk stand and that was it. I’m pretty sure in the 2/3 years I lived in that flat the phones never changed.
Didn’t really provide the best promotion of Tesco Mobile.
Ben, possibly a misunderstanding on my part but if your garden was being trespassed upon then I’d have got some kind of physical barriersuch as a brick wall in place
I put ‘garden’ in quotes. The flat was above a pub, the backdoor to the common stairwell lead out to the backdoor of the pub’s kitchen, which led to communal bins, an area used for washing/drying and a building used by a few businesses. The entry to that area led to Tesco’s car park. Probably very easy to locate now given that information, but I don’t live there anymore!
