    Anyone know the story with this?

    Is there something I'm missing?

    They seem to be claiming that if you top up you get the same amount for free.

    i.e. top up by 10 and they'll give you 20.

    And they say it's for life.

    Something fishy me thinks.

    So you can't keep your number, move to tesco and avail of the deal? You have to get a new sim/number?

    No you can keep your no. and port, once you are on the Tesco network you can get BOGOF on mobile your topup.

    It just wasn't clear from the OP.

    That's unbelievable value, especially considering their texts are cheaper than anyone else too.
