Tesco Mobile isn't just an MVNO is actually a joint venture company owned by Tesco and Telefonica. Telefonica uses the trading name O2 in the UK. Hence Tesco Mobile operates on Telefonica's O2 network.0 -
internet can be hit and missDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

Been with Tesco a number of years,not had any issues,and on one occasion my old phone went on the blink and started sending picture messages all over the place without me knowing till the large bill arrived,spoke to Tesco and they agreed to remove the large charge.0

I've had a Tesco sim for a couple of years now. Never had any trouble, and can heartily recommend them.
(I'm not very techie, so I hope this makes sense) - I have an iphone, and if I go into settings and turn "automatic carrier" off, it gives me a list of other I can select from. Right now it says O2-UK, vodafone-UK, T-mobile-UK, Orange, 3-UK.
I think maybe it piggybacks on all of them, and just selects whoever has the strongest signal when I switch it to automaticI removed the shell from my racing snail, but now it's more sluggish than ever.0 -

No, it doesn't. It's just showing you the signals the phone can see. You can only use O2...====0 -
