With their frozen prices, you’ll get the reassurance of a fixed monthly price for your plan, and no sudden increases to your bill in the middle of your contract. You can also benefit from a discounted price on your plan when you use a Clubcard.

What Are Mid-Contract Price Rises?
One of the biggest sources of frustration for mobile users in the UK is the annual mid-contract price rise. Normally occurring around March or April each year, it sees the cost of mobile plans across the country going up in price, even for customers who are within a fixed-term contract.
Over the last couple of years, a number of attempts have been made by regulators to try and reduce confusion in this area. For instance, in 2022, Ofcom (the UK’s telecommunications regulator) mandated that customers had to be informed of price rises prior to them signing up for a plan. Unfortunately, this left the door open for some significant mid-contract price rises, up to 3.9% above the rate of inflation each year. More recently, inflation and percentage-linked increases have been banned since January 2025, with all future price rises now needing to be specified in ‘pounds and pence’.
As of today, the major UK mobile networks continue to have annual price rises on their plans, giving an increase of up to £1.80 per month each year on your bill. To give an example, that can mean the monthly cost of your plan rising by £3.60 over the length of a two-year contract.
Frozen Prices on Tesco Mobile
If you’re looking for greater certainty over your phone bill, without the frustration of price rises every year, Tesco Mobile is one of the only major UK networks offering a commitment to ‘frozen prices’. This is applicable on their Clubcard Price deals and it applies to the basic monthly cost of your plan (excluding any out-of-plan charges, which are calculated separately).
The commitment to frozen prices applies for the entire length of your contract, both on SIM-only contracts and on Pay Monthly phone plans when you choose a Clubcard Price deal. In addition to the ‘frozen prices’, you’ll benefit from a lower monthly price when you sign up with a Clubcard. You can also earn Clubcard points on your Tesco Mobile bill.
At present, you can choose from the following Clubcard Price SIM-only deals from £9.50 per month (frozen for the length of your contract):
| Network | Data | Monthly Cost (frozen with Clubcard Prices) |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| 12GB data | £9.50 per month 12 month contract | See deal |
| 30GB data | £12.50 per month 12 month contract | See deal |
If you’re looking for a new handset, there are also Clubcard Price deals available on the iPhone 16 as well as the Samsung Galaxy S25, and more.
On all of these deals, you’ll get 99% population coverage across the UK, which is powered by the O2 network. You’ll also benefit from free EU roaming until 2026, and other Clubcard benefits such as the ability to collect and to pay with points.
Keeping Your Phone Number
If you’re switching from another UK mobile network to Tesco Mobile, it’s a straightforward process transferring your phone number.
To start off, get a PAC Code from your old mobile network. You can get one through your mobile network’s website or app, or by texting PAC to 65075. Once you’ve done that, you can order your new phone or SIM card from the Tesco Mobile website.
Once your new Tesco Mobile phone or SIM card has arrived, text PORT to 23424. Simply follow the instructions provided and your phone number will be transferred over (normally on the next working day).
