Tesco Mobile launched in 2003 as a joint venture between Tesco PLC and O2. With over 5 million customers, it is the UK's largest MVNO — bigger than many European national operators. Tesco Mobile won Uswitch Best Mobile Network for Customer Service in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 (five consecutive years) and ranked 8th overall in the UK Customer Satisfaction Index (January 2026) at 85.3/100 — the only telecoms provider in the UK top 50.
