Tesco updates mobile phone deals
Shopping giant, Tesco, has announced that it will no longer offer its current mobile phone tariffs as they are to be replaced by a single tariff that offers cheaper calls to your most frequently dialled phone numbers.
A survey conducted by Tesco Mobile revealed that 80% of those polled only dialled five phone numbers. This has caused the retail firm to have a rethink on its mobile marketing strategy and introduce a tariff that charges 10p per minute for phone calls and 5p for text messages.
If you dial any other numbers outside of your five favourite numbers you will be charged at a rate of 20p per minute whilst texts will cost 10p
Those shoppers who possess a Tesco Clubcard will receive four points for every pound they spend topping up their pay as you go phones.
The tariff deal does not come with a free handset . Phone prices begin at £14.97 . The cheapest nokia model will cost £17.97 but the device also comes with a £10 top up.
