    Hi,

    Yes it will work because Tesco are a virtual network who use O2's.

    You can change your number over very easily from one network to another (not very easily if it's from the same one!). So O2 to Tesco is fine.

    Ask O2 for PAC and give it to Tesco.
    Make sure that all contacts are saved to the phone memory, not to the sim that will die.

    Also, O2 may unlock your phone for free if it is locked. Worth asking.

    Some do, some don't. Officially, Tesco SIMs don't work in o2-locked phones and vice versa, but some people have reported success with certain phones.

    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    It worked for us. Why not buy a tesco sim card for 99p and try it.
