ASDA Mobile Phones: All you need to know

ASDA are well known as a big supermarket brand in the UK, and they have now branched into the world of mobiles. Let's see what they have to offer!

What mobiles do ASDA mobile offer?

ASDA Mobile offers the Samsung Galaxy A20e, STK R45i, Doro 1360, Doro 6520, Alcatel U3 , Alcatel 1, Alcatel 1s and Alcatel 3L. These are all budget phones, which makes sense with ASDA's aim of being a budget mobile network.

Once you've ordered your phone for home delivery, you can get your free sim card online on the ASDA mobile website.

PAYG or Sim Free?

ASDA offers both options. PAYG is great for casual phone users, who like flexibility and want to pay a one-off price for their mobile and then own it outright. Pay-as-you-go SIMs are available with a 30 days rolling plan with a bundle, or where you pay for what you use with top-ups (recommended for light users).

You can also sign up for a SIM free data contract. A new smartphone can be an expensive purchase and this cost can be incorporated into the deal when signing a new contract. The price of the phone is usually added to the monthly bill so you pay for the device throughout the duration of your contract. With ASDA, these last 12 or 24 months. If you leave early, you will be charged early termination fees.

Do ASDA offer unlocked phones?

Yes, all of the phones sold in ASDA stores are not locked to any network, however ASDA offer deals and bundles with their SIM free or PAYG plans.
