What network does Asda Mobile use?

Asda Mobile runs on the Vodafone network. Asda Mobile is a virtual provider, which means it uses another provider's infrastructure – in this case, Vodafone's. It offers 3G, 4G and 5G coverage.

How good is Asda's mobile coverage?

With Asda Mobile's recent switch to the Vodafone network, it claims that it has up to 99% population coverage.

Asda Mobile's deals and incentives

Asda Mobile offers a variety of 30-day bundles depending on how much you top up, ranging from £5 for unlimited minutes and texts and 1GB data to £25 for unlimited minutes and texts with 50GB of data. There are also data-only bundles for high data users and a 'Talk and Text' bundle if you need no data at all.

Asda Mobile also has three unlimited plans which have speed restrictions of 2Mb, 10Mb and 150Mb.

Asda Mobile doesn't have the range of incentives offered by other networks. But its out-of-bundle prices are extremely low – 4p/minute, 4p/text and 4p/MB.
