completely free
Press
Release Body: Tesco Mobile has announced their
latest 'pay as you go' tariff, Standard Plus, which
offers a monthly bonus of 500 free texts or 150 free minutes when
users top up by £15 or more per month.
“The
new Standard Plus tariff is the perfect option
for people who top-up regularly and want great value from their
mobile service provider, combined with pay as you go flexibility,”
said Andy Dewhurst, Chief Executive Officer of Tesco
Mobile. “We want to offer our 'pay
as you go' customers similar bonus airtime or text benefits
to those of pay-monthly customers.”
The free texts and call-time can be used to contact any UK mobile
or standard fixed landline number, regardless of network or time
of day. This pay
as you go deal means users won’t face any restrictions
when they use their bonus time or on which networks they call or
send texts to, as is the case with some other providers.
The
tariff gives users 500 bonus texts or 150 bonus minutes when they
top up by a minimum of £15 per month - this is over and above
the texts and calls they’d usually get for their £15
- and it’s available to anyone, both new and existing customers.
Standard
Plus customers also get half-price calls and texts to their
three favourite numbers.
Additionally,
as an opening offer, those who register for the new Standard
Plus tariff online at www.tesco.com/mobilenetwork
will also receive the SIM
card absolutely free*
Alternatively
people can head into any Tesco store and buy a
Standard Plus SIM pack. All they need to do to receive
their bonus minutes is fulfill the £15 per month minimum top
up. Simple and anything but standard.
