We have three pay as you go tariffs:
All our pay as you go phones come with a SIM inside and are on our Rocket Packs tariff. Rocket Packs are all-in-one packs that give you the 4G data, minutes and texts you need. Your first top-up automatically turns into your first Rocket Pack. For example, if you top-up £10, your top-up will turn into a £10 Rocket Pack.
Call rates are the same on Rocket Packs and Triple Credit tariffs but with our Triple Credit tariff you get free credit when you top-up – which you can use on UK and Home From Home calls, texts and data. When you top-up £10, £15 or £20, we triple that top-up.
Our Lite tariff is great if you use your phone occasionally. It's a simple tariff with a flat-rate charge of 8p/min for calls and 4p a text.
Changing tariffs
Once you're with Tesco Mobile pay as you go, you can change tariffs:
You can change your pay as you go tariff once every 30 days.
Make the most of your pay as you go
There are lots of ways to top-up, wherever you are, so you can always get more credit when you need to. It’s quick, easy and you’ll collect Clubcard points when you do.
Yes, you'll need to link your phone to your Clubcard, by texting CLUBCARD to 28578 free from your Tesco Mobile phone and follow the instructions. You'll then collect Clubcard points each time you top-up.
You can order your free pay as you go SIM online or pick one up in-store.

Frequently asked questions
Top-up first, then straight after you’ve topped up, you need to buy your Rocket Pack. You can do this:
- In My Account
- In the Tesco Mobile app
- By calling 282
- By texting 28948
If you’re not on Tesco Mobile but you’ve already got a phone you’re happy with, you can order a free No-contract SIM and then get a Rocket Pack. Or if you’re buying a new phone, all our pay as you go phones now come on the No-contract SIM with Rocket Packs as standard.
Your first top-up turns into your first Rocket Pack. For example, if you top-up £10, your top-up will change in to a £10 Rocket Pack. Your first top-up needs to be £10, £15 or £20.
After that you can choose from any of our 5 Rocket Packs: £7.50, £10, £15 £20 and £30 Rocket Packs last a month from when you buy them. They automatically renew at the end of the month. You can set up a recurring payment in My Account to get your Rocket Pack each month or you can top-up each month.

- By calling Customer Care on 4455 from your Tesco Mobile phone
It can take up to 4 hours for your Rocket Pack to activate. We’ll text you when it’s ready to use.

- By texting 28948

Triple Credit tariff
Call rates are the same on Rocket Packs and Triple Credit tariffs but with our Triple Credit tariff you get free credit when you top-up – which you can use on UK and Home From Home calls, texts and data.
When you top-up £10, £15 or £20, we triple that top-up:
