Tesco are able to buy big chunks of calltime at wholesale prices.
This is a lot cheaper than the price you’d normally pay, so
we’re able to pass the saving on to you.

It’s simple to use - you don’t need a box, a new line or a new phone.
You keep your number. And because it still uses a BT line, you’ll still have the all services you normally get from BT like 1471, 1571 and call waiting.
You can still use the internet, and you don’t need to change your ISP.

Our Three Tariffs:

TALK 1 - PAY AS YOU GO

If you don’t use your phone very often, then this will work for you.

There is no minimum monthly payment, you just pay for what you use.
2.5p per minute during the day. (Unlike some other companies when we say
daytime, we mean daytime. So our daytime is from 8am – 6pm.)
4.5p per call evenings and weekends. (We know that this is when you’ve got time to chat, so we won’t limit the time you can be on the phone for.)
(BT daytime rate is 3p per min. Evenings and weekends 5.5p for a 60 minute call).

TALK 2 - EVENINGS WEEKENDS – SALE NOW ON - EXTRA 25% OFF

If you work during the day, and you’re mostly at home evenings and weekends,
then we’d recommend Talk 2.

£4.47 per month means free evening and weekend calls to UK landlines (and 2.5p per minute during the day to UK landlines) with no call limits.
(BT charge £6.00 per month and have a 60 minute limit on your calls).

TALK 3 - ANYTIME - SALE NOW ON - EXTRA 25% OFF

If you work from home, or spend a lot of time on the phone during the day as well
as evenings or weekends, then we’d suggest Talk 3.

£11.97 per month means that you can call any UK landline, anytime, free for as
long as you want - again, there are no limits! (BT charge £15.00 per month and have a 60 minute limit the amount of time you spend on calls). All BT prices are correct as of 9/5/05.

WHAT ALL THE PLANS INCLUDE:

FREE calls to other Tesco home phone customers. It’s a winwin situation. The more friends you can switch to us, the cheaper your calls, and the more customers we have.

FREE directory enquiries from a registered Tesco home phone. Just call 118 321.

FREE Customer Service line 0800 068 0818. It is in our interest for your phone to be working!
