LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - 06/11/10) - Football fans are in for a treat this summer as Tesco Telecoms is assuming the spirit of the World Cup and offering Tesco International phone card customers free calls to celebrate their team's success with friends and family line abroad.
For the duration of the World Cup, for one-half an hour immediately after each and every game, Tesco International Reliance Calling Card buyers can phone any fixed line in the match winner's country to relive the game - free of charge!
Whether that means disbursal the 30 minutes dissecting the game-play detail-by-detail or talking with boosters and family abroad about how rubbish the referee was, Tesco can ascertain that there will be no need for worrying about the line becoming dead, or receiving an expensive telephone bill at the end of the call.
"With the excitement of the 2010 World Cup building and with many families living across many countries, we wanted to give our customers something other to help them celebrate this event," said Lance Batchelor, Chief Executive Officer of Tesco Telecoms and Tesco Mobile River.
"Therefore, within half-hour of the final whistle we're encouraging our customers to use the free minutes to make up friends and family in the winning countries."
The Tesco International Calling Card has just established in every Tesco Express store and Tesco Phone Shop and allows people to call international addresses at a much lower cost than traditional landlines or Mobile River tariffs.
By purchasing a card and using the credit in as is way as a pay as you go mobile, calls cost only 2p a minute to over 50 addresses, with a flat rate connection fee of 4p.
For those passionate fans that have a bit much to talk about, any calls that exceed the thirty minute free period will be charged at the standard rate thereafter and will incur the criterion connection fee.
