    Damn!
    I thought I was being all smart and helpful lol

    Don't feel bad, I worked for a network for years and still find new stuff out all the time. It's all far too complicated ;).

    Who is Tesco mobile partnered with ?[Vodafone/EE etc]

    I plan to buy a PAYG phone next week but want to check the coverage is ok.
    Do NOT use Tesco Mobile. Their coverage check (O2) says I should have first class coverage both inside and out where I am. I get virtually no signal in my house and poor 3G coverage everywhere. Tesco don'ty seem to be able to solve the problem

    What about if I don't want to live in your house?

    No provider will guarantee service inside a building
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it

    I moved the Tesco Mobile last year. As they use O2 I have found coverage to be fine. I switched to Vodafone from O2 a while ago as I had very poor, if at all, coverage at work. Now it is fine and I get 4G at work too. So obviously over the years it has got better.

    Recently bought an LG G3 to replace a Samsung Galaxy S3. The Tesco Mobile app wasn't compatible with QHD screens and I couldn't use the app. Sent a tweet to Tesco Mobile and within 2 weeks their app developers had brought out a new version which is now compatible. Still has a slight issue with it but I'm impressed so far.

    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 automatic

    This only happens when you are INTERNATIONAL roaming
