Returning a pay monthly order
When you buy your Tesco Mobile phone or SIM card it includes a cooling off period of 14 working days from when you receive it, which gives you extra peace of mind. If you change your mind within this time, you can return it to us ‘as sold’ for a refund or an exchange.
If you’ve used any minutes, texts and data, you’ll need to pay for them. If your usage is within your tariff’s monthly allowance, the most you’ll pay is the equivalent of your monthly tariff. If it’s less, we’ll refund you the difference.
You’ll also pay for anything not included in your tariff’s monthly allowance – for example, calls to 0845 numbers, picture messages or calls and texts to international numbers.
If you’ve not used the phone or SIM card within the cooling off period, we’ll give you a full refund on your next payment date.
