3G and 4G

lynseydee

I was going to take up the offer with Tesco Mobile of their double minutes for £10.00 a month. I selected the sim I need but the sim deal comes with 4G and my phone is a Nokia C2 which isn't on their list of 4G phones. Does that mean I won't be able to get the deal and use it with my existing phone? I couldn't see any other really good deals like this if I had to get a new phone as well and don't really want to as the phone I currently have suits me.

You can still have the offer, it just means you will only use 3G data.

I've never heard of such offer, and google doesn't help.

It's not even 3g.

I am pretty sure you will.

Post a link to this 'good' deal?

Depends which C2 variant, the C2-01 is, for instance.

It may be the OP meant this offer where they triple the top up although it states the offer ended 1st Jan

A marketing ploy ongoing for years?
Get the credit tripled with restricted life and use, and then pay 25p/m instead of simple 8p/min on Tesco Lite without jumping though hoops?

System

Heavens forbid O2/Tesco Mobile customers were restricted to their 3G/4G coverage.

I have checked my phone and it is a C2-01 and yes, that is the deal I'm talking about.
