Tesco to offer £3 per month off your bill if you view adverts on lock screen
Tesco will give you £3 per month off your bill if you install an app that puts adverts on your lock screen. This will only work on Android devices and im not sure Apple would approve of such an app but you never know.

Cue apps that fool the phone into thinking it is displaying the ads but is actually displaying useful info instead.

I think you have to have joined Tesco after 2013 to be eligible. Stand to be corrected.

What are they offering to iOS users if they can''t have this offer?? Its annoying when they make bill credit deals handset specific - should be the same for all if they have sold the customer the iPhone..

I think I would rather pay the extra £3 than be bombarded with adverts.
I guess it's a good option for those trying to save a bit of cash, though I would say £5 off would be more attractive. |

I agree with NathDogg i would rather pay the normal contract we get enough ads everywhere we go stuck in your face on TV, Internet even got a great big bill board TV on the side of the car park at my local bloody Hospital
Next they will be putting ads on each piece of your toilet roll.

Its not innovative, however it isn't something anyone else in the UK market offers, so for the moment its unique. |

Xtras is available on all pay monthly tariffs with data included that started on or after 8 August 2013, including SIM only tariffs. Xtras isn't available on pay as you go right now.

Apple my not approve such an App as it takes over the lock screen. Apple have very a strict approval process.

Think you and NathDogg miss the whole point, its optional in the sense that you have to sign up to it yourself, it won't be forced upon customers. It may in the future lead to tesco offering tariffs that a norminally cheaper as long as customers accepted adverts on their phones. Even then it is optional.
The idea in principle is sound, and from the looks it will be targeted advertising, based on your account details (age, location etc). Its not innovative, however it isn't something anyone else in the UK market offers, so for the moment its unique. I guess in this current financial climate any option for people to save a few quid should be welcomed. |

I should have said Me personally wouldn't take up the offer because i get enough ads everywhere else so again me personally would rather pay the normal price. |

A £3 discount just seems like an odd amount. I'm not sure how many people would be tempted by such an amount. £5 would have been much better. I guess its a balance between acceptable number of ads that they feel people will tolerate and the revenue generated by these ads.
Maybe if it's a success they could offer different levels of discount in the future. |

I bet you'll soon see only a tiny selection of ads just like those free call/data SIMs that all failed. |

Trouble is once Tesco do it and quite a few people take it up then it opens the door for every other Network Provider to do the same thing and we will all end up with ads whether we like it or not in the end.
