Tesco mobile

wonderlake

I'm currently an Orange PAYG customer, with an ancient handset and was thinking of treating myself to a new PAYG handset. I quite fancy the HTC Wildfire @ 179.99 +£10 top up, but have seen the handset on Tesco mobile for 149.97...(+earning clubcard points)

Are Tesco mobile any good? I've never had a problem with Orange... also on Orange I believe I'm on Dolphin so £10 top up = 100MB free internet which I've never really used on my existing handset- would be looking to use new handset for Facebook etc.; but I can't really see anything about Internet on the Tesco site ??

I've been with Tesco mobile for over 5 years now. I use P.A.Y.G. and have been very happy with the service Tesco provide. Take a look at http://www.tesco.com/mobilenetwork/ and it might help you decide.

If you don't mind staying at Orange consider Orange San Francisco handset (can be unlocked for free if you want other network)

been with them for about 7 years or so never has a problem with coverage, if you see a phone cheaper with 02 tesco sims will work. tesco runs from 02 network anyway.

Used to be with o2 now with Tesco, same network, no problems at all, I am pleased to say.

Hi,
Been on Tesco for a few months now and found them to be really good.

Had to ring Customer Services a couple of times with a couple of queries and they are miles better than O2.

Cheers

Rusty!

They have a shocking out of bundle data price though. £4 per MB!

Supposed to be going down to 60p though.

:beer: Haha the Vodafone one is Out of stock- got them to email me when it comes back in

Does anyone have any advise re the data side of using a Smartphone; as I said I couldn't see any info about Tesco mobile's policy/ allowance apart from their triple credit offer?

I can see that Vodafone Freebies is the same as Orange i.e £10 top up = 300 free txts & 500MB

And I have also considered the Orange San Francisco handset - actually went into the shop last week to have a look where it was on a "Wow of the week" offer down to 79.99, when I asked a member of staff when the WEEKLY offer would expire he said "I Dunno, cuz the offers change all the time" ... wanted to know if it would still be on @ payday on Weds, but his unhelpfulness really put me off which is why I've been shopping around

Another vote for Tesco. Well actually 4 votes as the whole family are on it

Moved from useless Orange to Tesco a few years ago and have never looked back. Better service, better coverage, all round better. Can't tell you much about their data though because I don't use it for my phone.

I know I've saw people mention Giffgaff a lot on this forum and I think you get unlimited internet, unlimited texts and 250 mins for £10 top up. They, like tesco also run on O2, so it's worth checking out whether a Giffgaff sim would work in a Tesco locked phone?? I don't have a clue, but it's worth finding out about. HTH
