As above, Tesco uses O2 as a carrier, although thier software is propriety so yes you'll still need to get the phone unlocked.

My dad uses Tesco mobile, has done for about 4-5 years now, never had an issue!

You're gonna look like a right cheap arse down the pub though when you pull out your phone and its got TESCO as the operater logo on the screen

it's a sim only deal with a 30 day rolling contract so i don't think she'll be quiting

gave her the n96 when i got the iphone so she was forever bitching about running out of credit when she was trying to work it so we went to a few places to look for the best sim only deals and was just about to get the car phone warehouse one for a fiver a month when they fucked me up on the bank account stuff (2 different addresses, a few bank accounts, can't use the same card twice as it flags up as fraud or something) so we were still on the hunt when we stumbled across the tecso one

was going to go with the pay as you go triple top up stuff but it's only a month long and this was, i think, their £15 or £20 a month deal with a limited time stipulation, i think it ran out at the end of September or something
