In any of our 48 Home From Home destinations, when you call, text or use data it will come out of your monthly allowances or bundles. If you run out of your allowances or bundles you’ll just pay the same standard rates that you’d pay in the UK. Here are our pay monthly rates and our pay as you go rates.
And while you’re in a Home From Home destination, you can also call or text mobiles and landlines in any other Home From Home destination and it’ll work in exactly the same way.
Home From Home isn’t meant for people who don’t live in the UK, so we have some limits to stop that happening. If you spend more time in Home from Home destinations (than in the UK and the rest of the world), or if you use more of your allowances in Home from Home destinations than in the UK and the rest of the world, then we’ll apply the fair usage policy.
This means that when you use your phone, you’ll still use up your monthly allowances or bundles and then when they run out you’ll pay our standard rates, but on top of that we’ll also add an additional surcharge. If we’re going to do this, we’ll text you first to let you know what your options are.
We’ll send you a welcome text whenever you arrive in a new country. This will include a link to the Home From Home page on our website. It’ll also remind you that you can call 280 free any time while you’re away for info.
Our Home From Home destinations are mainly in Europe. Here’s our rest of the world pricing

We regularly review the benefits we offer to make sure our customers are getting the best value. Our Home From Home benefit was set to stop in 2026, but the great news is, we’re letting it roll on. We have no plans to bring in EU roaming fees anytime soon, so you can continue to use your UK data, minutes and texts in 48 destinations across the EU and beyond – at no extra cost.
If you took out your Clubcard Price deal between September 2024 and September 2025, you’ll continue to get our Home From Home benefit for the length of your minimum contract period
We have no plans to bring in EU roaming fees anytime soon. If this changes, we’ll make sure to let any affected customers know at least 30 days before anything comes into effect.
There are no changes for our pay as you go customers. They will continue to enjoy Home From Home roaming at no extra cost.
There’s no cap/usage limit.
If people want to limit their usage to avoid any unexpected charges, customers have the option to set a safety buffer – this can be set to £0 if they wish. Customers can manage this themselves through their account. It’s also possible to limit additional charges by switching roaming off before landing at their destination.
Customers travelling within the Republic of Ireland will continue to be able to use their UK mins, texts and data (included in their allowance). Standard out of bundle roaming rates apply. See tescomobile.com/roaming for full details.
Inadvertent roaming is when your phone connects to a mobile network in a nearby country, even though you have not actually crossed the border. This can happen if you’re near a country’s border and your phone picks up a stronger signal from the other side, which can lead to unexpected roaming charges.
We’ll send you a text if your phone connects to a network in a different country. You can also check what network you’re connected to in your phone’s settings. Our helpful device guides can show you how to do this.
In your phone’s settings, you can turn off data roaming to avoid any data roaming charges. You can also turn off automatic network selection and instead manually select what network you want to connect to. Our device guides can show you how.
By setting a zero bill cap or safety buffer, you can make sure you never spend more on your bill than you’re happy to. You can manage your zero bill cap or safety buffer in our app or My Account.
