Tesco Mobile will deliver free UK data, minutes and texts this Christmas Day. A time that tends to be filled with lots of phone calls to loved ones giving thanks and wishing merriment, this year will be slightly different as many of us will become reliant on our mobile devices to connect with those we cannot be with this Christmas due to the coronavirus restrictions.

As part of Tesco Mobile’s “Reconnects” mission, where the network operator partners up with homelessness charity, Crisis to help those experiencing homelessness this Christmas, the free bundle will automatically be applied to customers’ accounts at no extra cost, available from midnight to midnight on the 25th of December.

CEO of Tesco Mobile, Tom Denyard told Cool Smartphone, “We know many families can’t be together this Christmas, so we hope this ‘little help’ gives our customers the chance to connect with all their loved ones outside their bubble this Christmas.”

Homelessness charity will face a different kind of challenge as they turn their resources to digital support for people at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Tesco Mobile have created a virtual Christmas SIM card to help raise money to “fund phones, devices and connectivity for Crisis’ Christmas guests”, you can find out more here.
