Tesco Talk Wi-Fi review

Every little helps...

There's Tesco Value, Tesco Finest, Tesco Insurance, Tesco "anything else that people need" and now there's Tesco Talk Wi-Fi. The latest step for the grocery behemoth is a downloadable application for your mobile that sets you up for cheap as chips calls to across the Atlantic.

Hook up your phone to the service through the website and your calls and text will be made through any Wi-Fi network. Sounds simple? It is if you download directly through your phone which takes mere seconds, but on the website it takes an age to get the darn thing on your mobile. Fill in a form that asks for every detail apart from your cats name and once that's done it's only available for Nokia E51, N81, E65 or N95. Now that's what we call Nokia-ist.

Once set up, pick a price plan from the Tesco Value P-A-Y-G to the Finest £5.95 a month. Calls are free to anyone else on the Tesco Wi-Fi network (so that's no-one), and international calls to Bob your Uncle in Oz cost from 10p a minute on every price plan, and calls to mobiles or landlines in the UK cost 2p minute on P-A-Y-G or free on £2.95 and £5.95 monthly packages.

Cheap it may be, but knowing when you're using Wi-Fi and when you're not is a snag. The app switches from using the Wi-Fi service to a bog- standard mobile network when you leave an enabled zone. No warning or alarm so walking and talking to Bob your Uncle in OZ is not an option, unless you want to be charged the price of a flight to visit him.

Our problem with this service is we don't see why we'd use it. Finding free Wi-Fi areas is a chore (unless you have one of those snazzy Wi-Fi t-shirts), and why would we pay a subscription for cheap international calls when at home? Use Skype at home and it'll cost you diddly-squat.

To get yourself a free iPhone, iPod Touch, or the latest Macbook Air all you have to do is follow the 3 easy steps:

Step 1 : Sign up for a free Gift
Sign up at the link below to get your free gift. We recommend this free gift site because it's been TRIED and TESTED to work.

Apple-FreebieJeebies.com

You can choose other prizes like free iMacs from this site too! Make sure you use a real email address. Use your real details when you sign up so that the company knows where to send your gift! Remember that they have been proven legitimate, so will send you your free gift if you do everything legitimately!

Step 2 : Try an advertiser's offer
Basically all you need to do in this step is complete one of the offers, this is where the freebie site make their money, if you complete an offer then the freebie site will recieve commission for it. So if you complete Coral which will only cost you £5 to complete, the freebie site gets £25 from Coral. The two best offers are Lovefilm Free DVD rental trial (where you rent any two DVD's for free!) and Coral (bet £5 on a sport). I would reccommend you do Coral as it credits in an hour and is really simple to do, Lovefilm however can become complicated and takes up to 4 weeks to credit! You can also try one of the other offers, most are gambling offers. Don't skip this step! You must complete this step to get your free gift!

Step 3 : Refer some friends

This part is a lot easier than it seems, especially now with free gift sites getting so popular. There's lots of people online who want a free iPhone, Touch or macbook too, so start referring them! You only need to get a few signups before you'll be finished. You can ask your friends or your online buddies. I already got a free iPhone without even having to ask my friends for help - there's lots of people online who want a free iPhone like you! One of the easiest ways to get a referral is to do a favour for a friend and ask them to sign up in return. That way, you both can get a free gift!

Basic rules
Don't break these rules! This is the only reason that you won't get your free gift, so make sure you follow these rules!

- One account per household - don't use a public computer to sign up!
- Use real information - this is a proven legitimate site and they will not give out your information.
- Only complete each offer once! You cannot complete the same offer again, even for different freebies.
- Don't try to cheat the system. This site has been proven legitimate, and they will catch you if you try to cheat. If you do everything legitimately, by following this guide, you will get a free gift!

Thats all, just follow my guide and you will have your free gift in no time.
