About Tesco Mobile

Tesco Mobile is the UK's largest MVNO with approximately 5.7 million customers, operating on O2's network via a 50/50 joint venture between Tesco plc and Virgin Media O2 (renewed January 2024). Tesco Mobile has been rated #1 for customer satisfaction by Ofcom multiple times β€” a remarkable achievement for an MVNO consistently beating all four major MNOs. Key differentiator: Clubcard points on every monthly bill and frozen prices on Clubcard Price plans.
