Recurring Add-ons Terms And Conditions

Recurring Add-ons

1.1 You may purchase one or more of our recurring "Add-ons" – Recurring ‘Unlimited Text’ and ‘1GB Data’ for a Prepay, Bill Pay or Capped Monthly Account. A one month recurring term applies to each Add-on purchased.
1.2 To purchase an Add-on you must opt-in to your preferred Add-on by texting OPTIN TEXT (for the Unlimited Text Add-on) or OPTIN DATA (for the 1GB Add-on) or OPTIN5 (for the 5GB Add-on) to 1744, by following the instructions in the ‘My Tesco Mobile’ section of tescomobile.ie or by calling Customer Care. We endeavour to activate your Add-on immediately, but please allow up to 24 hours for your Add-on to be activated on your Account.
1.3 You can now use your Add-on allowances while roaming in the EU in the same way as you would use at home i.e. Roam Like At Home (‘RLAH’), however usage may be subject to a Fair Usage Policy (‘FUP’) and proof of stable links. Tesco Mobile reserves the right to request proof of residency in order to enable you to RLAH i.e. use your Plan / Service while roaming periodically in the EU. Proof of residency may be established through registration with the mytesco portal or Tesco Clubcard or by providing a valid document confirming your place of residence (see tescomobile.ie/eu-roaming-regulation for a complete list of acceptable proofs).
1.4 Fair Use Policy: the Data FUP allowance will be calculated in accordance with the Commission’s Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2286 and you will be informed of the applicable allowance once you start roaming. See the General Terms and tescomobile.ie/eu-roaming-regulation for comprehensive information about Tesco Mobiles RLAH service and the FUP.

Prepay customers

2.1 For Prepay customers the charge for your chosen Add-on will be deducted from the Prepay account balance on the refill date each month (i.e. one month after you opt-in and each month thereafter).
2.2 If you do not have sufficient funds in your balance for your Prepay Account on the refill date, your Add-on will not be activated on your account. Such a failure will automatically result in you being opted-out of the chosen Add-on. In such circumstances you will have to reactivate the Add-on after topping up the balance for your Prepay Account.
2.3 If your Recurring Data Add-On balance is at zero before your next recurrence, you can purchase a Once off Data Add-On. This new balance will be depleted to zero when your Recurring Data Add-On applies.
2.4 If you opt-out (see Section 4.5 below) you will not receive, nor be charged for your Add-on at your next refill date. When you opt-out any remaining balance for the Add-on will continue until the end of your current month. Any remaining balance at the end of the monthly period will then expire.

Bill Pay customers

3.1 Add-on’s purchased from the 15th June 2021 for Bill Pay customers (including Capped Monthly customers) the Charge for your chosen Add-on will be applied to your monthly bill. Please note that add-ons are pro-rated i.e. you will receive a pro-rated charge from the date of opt-in to your next billing date. The pro-ration is applied only for the first month for Bill pay customers, until it aligns with the customer’s monthly billing cycle. For example if a customer adds a 5GB Data allowance mid bill cycle – we only charge €5 and the customer gets the full allowance of 5GB of data. You may purchase multiple add-on’s within the same billing period i.e. data and text. However, you may not purchase the same add-on within the same billing period. Should we observe abuse of our pro-rata policy, we will notify you to amend your behaviour. Failure to amend your behaviour, may result in service suspension and or your ability to purchase add-on’s. There is no carry over of allowances from one billing cycle into the next. See pro-rata explained for further information.
3.2 If you opt-out (see Section 4.5 below), any remaining Add-on balance will expire on that date. You will receive a prorated charge from the date of opt-out to your next billing date.
