Yes, it will work fine, even if the phone happens to be locked to O2
so would other virtual brands on O2, such as giffgaff0 -
O2 phones are generally unlocked and usually accept any sim unless its the iphone.0

Do Tesco piggyback on O2 then? I genuinely didn't know - who else is "virtual O2" please?
Does that mean I can buy a Tesco phone and put an O2 payg SIM in it?:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls

I've just got the £10 deal with Tesco as my contract with orange has just finished.
I've been looking round for a new phone because I presume my new Tesco sim wont work in my orange phone. I can't find a reasonably priced phone that I like on the Tesco website, so reading the above, does it mean that I could get an O2 phone??
Thanks for any help xx0 -

Sorry i mean any phone taken via a contract as all the ones i have had for the past few years have all been unlocked.PAYG maybe locked though.0 -
Hi my daughter has an orange sim only contract simcard will this work in a o2 blackberry phone without having it unlocked.(purchased o2 blackberry because she wanted the purle colour) I dont really want to get it unlocked as surely it voids the warranty.
The blackberry is payg.0 -
