Getting started with Tesco Mobile.

Moving your Number

Your new phone/ SIM comes with a new 089 number but you can keep your previous number if you prefer.

Moving your number to Tesco Mobile is easy. Log on to my.tescomobile.ie, go to the Move My Number section and follow a few simple steps. Or call us on 1749 (from your Tesco Mobile phone) and we can arrange to move your number for you.

Manage your account with My Tesco Mobile

Setting up a My Tesco Mobile account is a simple way to register your details and manage your phone. You can log onto your My Tesco Mobile account at any time to see your most recent bill/ top up amount, to check the latest balance on your allowances or to review your usage.

The quickest and easiest way to set up your My Tesco Mobile account is to download the Tesco Mobile app from the Google Play or Apple App Store. You can also set up your account at my.tescomobile.ie.

Delivery

Ordering your new phone or SIM is simple and with our speedy delivery times, you won’t be waiting long. Order before 1pm any week day and you should have your delivery the following working day. A bill pay phone may take a little longer if we need some extra information from you.

Orders that include a mobile phone will be sent to your delivery address by courier and we will need a signature when we deliver. When we despatch your phone, we will email you an Order Tracking Number so that you can track your delivery.
