    Chuffin marvelous for me. Voda coverage (ASDA) not good around here but 02 (Tesco) is great.

    Thanks.

    Well that's...kinda useful. I currently have one phone with a Tesco SIM and one with a Blyk SIM. I was going to port my number from Tesco to Blyk, then I was going to get a new ASDA SIM. This way instead of waiting for my Tesco credit to drain, I could use their ping me a pound to transfer it over to another Tesco SIM (or see if they will just transfer it...Virgin did that for me once, but O2 refused to)

    (It'd make my life a lot easier if you could just switch numbers between networks instead of killing a SIM card entirely)

    Tesco will transfer money from one sim to another ,providing you pass security questions on both numbers.

    Tesco has also launched an unlimited plan for £30.

    I am a relatively low user.Phoned them up on 4455 option 5 and they changed me over takes up to 48 hours. Make sure you use up any FREE credit if you have any, as you lose the FREE credit when the change takes place.

    I feel cheated. As usual there's the free SIM deal. But on Tesco Direct you can get the SIM for £5 with £10 credit. "Oh wow, that's a good deal", but delivery is still the standard £5! For a SIM card? They're just being cheeky. There isn't a way to get free delivery (besides spending a lot), is there?

    I mean if I went to the Tesco Direct counter at my Tesco (the one with a bunch of catalogues and order-slips; Argos style) and ordered it, would they really charge me £5?
