Mobile operator Tesco Mobile has once again extended their Home From Home (HFH) EU roaming offer for another year, until 2026. Customers can thus continue to tap into their UK minutes, texts and data (mobile broadband) allowances, at no extra cost, when travelling around 48 destinations in the EU and beyond.
The move isn’t surprising as the provider is a virtual operator (MVNO) on O2’s (Virgin Media) network, which has long opted to retain free EU roaming. But Tesco Mobile goes a bit further and doesn’t appear to apply a strict cap on data when roaming around the EU, although they do still have a somewhat ambiguous Fair Usage Policy (FUP).
A study of 1,000 adults across the UK, commissioned by Tesco Mobile, found that staying connected whilst travelling is crucial to families. Respondents revealed it’s important to have access to online maps / directions (53%), network access (52%) and the ability to search for local activities and restaurant ideas (57%).
Jonathan Taylor, CEO of Tesco Mobile, said:
“As well as benefiting from great savings and frozen prices, we’re delighted to confirm that customers on a Clubcard Prices deal (including both new & mid-contract customers) will now also enjoy EU roaming for no extra cost for the length of their minimum contract period. This extension to 2026 and its introduction to the Clubcard Price proposition is a testament to our commitment to providing exceptional value and convenience to our customers.”
