What you can access for free
If you’re an existing Asda Mobile customer, we’ve made the following services and websites free to use:
NHS and GOV.UK websites
We’ve made all visits to NHS online and GOV.UK websites free, so you won’t use up any data while accessing important information on how to stay safe. You can still access these websites even if you’ve completely run out of data.
Calling 111 for NHS medical assistance is also free.
NHS Test and Trace App
The NHS Test and Trace app is a vital service for the NHS to track the spread of Coronavirus.
We’ve made it free for you to use the app when you are out and about, and it won’t use up any of your data to access it. Please note this does not cover downloading the app - we recommend that you do this on Wi-Fi first.
Calling 119 for the NHS COVID-19 helpline remains free of charge too.
Other websites
Additionally, it is completely free to browse a number of our ASDA websites without draining any data. This includes ASDA, ASDA Groceries, and George.com.
This means you won’t use up data browsing and purchasing essentials like food, clothing, and toiletries from our websites.
