**This deal has now expired BUT: the £20pm for 20GB is BACK!! So I'll look out for that one posted soon ¬.¬
I don't know how much it is per year but since only about 4 people in the UK pay for their year's SIM only contract upfront I don't overly feel the need to do the maths.
Quidco seem to be offering £27.50 at the moment.
If paid out with the Tesco App it would bring the monthly payment down to £7.50ish a month..Bargain

It's worth stating that if you're already on Tesco Mobile and are paying less than this £12.50 a month, you can upgrade to this tariff (or any other higher priced tariff) without having to start a 12 month contract all over again. I got this deal for both myself and my wife the other week

In case it helps, I've been very happy with Tesco Mobile on a rolling monthly contract for the past few years.
The signal has always been excellent, 4G data is fast, and the customer service is UK-based and very helpful. I don't think I've ever waited to speak with someone. And if you prefer, you can always sort out any problems or get a new SIM card from a Phone Shop in a Tesco store.
This past summer, they had a "feel at home" thing (similar to Three), where you could use minutes, texts and data in the EU without additional costs. Once that ended in September, the roaming charges are quite fair - about 4p/min for calls and 1p for texts in the EU or back to the UK. Foreign usage was important for me, as I travel quite a lot.
Obviously, your local signal may vary - and others may have had a less enjoyable time with them - but I thought a review of long-term usage might help anyone thinking about committing to a new 12m contract with no previous experience.
Er... and no, I don't work for Tesco!

I jumped on the 6gb offer last month, was on a rolling 1 month contract with them with 2gb for £12.50. No brainer getting 6gb for the same price.
Been with them for a couple of years now (they network share with o2). Had no issues, 4G is quick and coverage excellent. Call centres are uk based and always really helpful.

how would this work? currently paying 11.50 a month for an almost useless 1gb of data, can I just go into tesco (with a phone shop obviously)?

This is not correct im a long term customer they said i would need a new 12month contract !

So this is confirmed not correct?
I pay 10 a month and would certainly upgrade to get this on my existing rolling one month.
I do feel however that common sense says that you would have to sign a new 12 month contract? Love to be proved wrong though.

Presumably if you're on a 1 month rolling contract you would have to take a 12 month out?

Nice deal, they actually have real 4G speeds when compared to giffgaff.

giffgaff are getting worse, how they justify 2Mb speeds on 4G is beyond me, I got a reply from their MD the other week when they were bragging about their profits, effectively he said the profits help o2 with their network upgrades, my reply back was that's great but its not helping giffgaff customers when they have the two tier system with o2 and Tesco getting the speeds and GG not. Only going to get worse form them with Sky getting ready to start a mobile service using o2. I am not signing up to a 12 month deal until we see what they can offer. In our area o2 has the best coverage, even of the others tell you they have.

using Tesco Xtras app you could potentially bring it down by another £3 per month.
