Unlimited Data Bundles
If you’d like to use your mobile phone without the need to worry about ever running out of data, ASDA Mobile offers 5G-ready unlimited data plans from just £20 per month. Here, there’s a choice of three unlimited data plans, depending on the speed you require:
- The £20 ‘Unlimited Value’ plan gives you download speeds of up to 2Mbps. This is enough for things like browsing the web, using social media apps, listening to music online, and watching standard-definition videos. However, you won’t be able to do things like streaming HD-quality video, and larger files may take longer to download.
- The £22 ‘Unlimited Speedy’ plan gives you download speeds of up to 10Mbps. This will allow you to stream HD-quality videos on your phone. You’ll also get a better experience when downloading and sharing files from your phone.
- The £24 ‘Unlimited Superfast’ plan gives you download speeds of up to 150Mbps. This is perfect for streaming 4K ultra-HD video and for downloading large files to your phone.
The following table shows ASDA Mobile’s unlimited data bundles:
| Network | Data | Monthly Cost | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unlimited data 2Mbps max speed | £20.00 per month No contract | See deal |
| Unlimited data 10Mbps max speed | £22.00 per month No contract | See deal |
| Unlimited data 150Mbps max speed | £24.00 per month No contract | See deal |
On all of these bundles, you’ll have access to 5G coverage, giving you a smoother and a more reliable network experience. The £24 ‘Unlimited Superfast’ plan also allows you to benefit from the faster download speeds available.
Pay As You Go Rates
If you don’t have an active Pay As You Go bundle or if you’ve used up all of the allowances included on it, you’ll pay ASDA Mobile’s standard Pay As You Go rates. At the time of writing, you’ll pay 15p/minute for calls, 10p per text message and 10p per MB of data.
In the vast majority of cases, you’ll be better off buying a Pay As You Go bundle from £4 per month, or upgrading to a larger plan that includes all of the data you need.

All of ASDA Mobile’s Pay As You Go plans are available on a one-month rolling basis. Because of this, you’ll have the flexibility to change your plan from month-to-month. For instance, you can upgrade to a plan with more data included or you can downgrade to a cheaper plan to save some money.

Start by ordering your new plan on the ASDA Mobile website. Once you’ve done that, you can get a PAC Code from your old mobile network by texting PAC to 65075.
Once your new ASDA Mobile SIM card has arrived in the post, you’ll be able to submit the PAC Code online through your ASDA Mobile account. Alternatively, you can call ASDA Mobile’s customer service team on 2732 to give them your PAC Code (0808 006 2732 if you’re calling from another network). Once you’ve done this, your phone number transfer will normally take place on the next working day.

ASDA mobile Unlimited data plans are actually limited to 1TB per month, you will get cut off from data and told to wait until you next bill cycle to be able to use data again.
None of the contracts or fair usage policy mention any data limits, quite the opposite, encouraging data tethering/4g,5g modem usage, so this is quite sneaky from them.
Avoid if you are expected to hit over 1TB per month

I have been using Asda mobile for a short while with the £22 unlimited data bundle in a second hand Alcatel Y800 mobile broadband device and it works great around the house, in fact better than expected, so will be sticking with them for the foreseeable future if the service continues to be this good.

With Asda mobile going up from 4p to 15p for calls and 4p to 10p for texts this confirms what excellent value 1p mobile still is in 2022 (if you can get an EE signal) and does beg the question how much longer will 1p mobile still remain in business, Im prepared to bet either 1p will fold or it will become 10p mobile in the near future.
