CONTRACT CHANGE: Retiring Older Prepay Plans

From the 24th April 2024, our older 3G Prepay plans will start to close as 3G services are being switched off across all networks. It’s also worth noting that 2G & 3G services are already being decommissioned across the globe and this means if you have an old handset and intend on travelling abroad, you will need to upgrade this handset to a 4G enabled handset before you go – this is to ensure you have a service when roaming abroad. All of our new handsets are 4G enabled https://www.tescomobile.ie/prepay-phones.

Customers on "Simply Value" plans will be moved to our 4G Prepay 15 Plan unless you choose to opt-in for our Prepay Data Plus Plan before this date.

Don't worry, you will carry all your credit across with you to the new plan. We'll contact all customers by text, a minimum of 30 days in advance of the change. You can choose to switch to another plan, wait to be switched automatically or if you would prefer not to accept the change, you have the right to cancel your prepay service within 30 days without penalty by 24th April 2024.

Whether you are a talker or heavy data user – we’ve got a Prepay Plan that’s suitable for you!

You can opt-in for any one of these plans prior to the 24th April 2024 by texting either "Join Prepay 15" or "Join Plus" to 1744 for your preferred choice.
