    I do not want to buy a new mobile and I do not want a contract! None of these comparison sites will tell you the call costs for PAYG, only for contracts!!

    Niftylist is an absolute waste of space. Not only does it not let you select a handset, but it never returns any results. The link on the contract comparison section should be removed it's that useless.

    Hi everyone

    Just wondered if you could help? Im on tesco pay as you go and very happy with them but would like to buy a new mobile. My question is if I buy a new pay as you go that is with orange or vodafone or one of the other providers can I unlock it straight away and put in my tesco sim, if so how do I go about unlocking it?

    Thanks guys :D

    The store you're buying it from may be able to unlock it for you, otherwise you will have to take it to the market stall/pro unlocker.
  • Re Tesco mobile. If you log onto to their site there is a section where they will give you a discount voucher towards the cost of new phones. Value of voucher is based on your top-ups to date. (you enter your own mobile number on the site to get into your info)
    I got a £30 voucher, had clubcard points to use and saw a £5 voucher in their Tesco Mobile magazine so got an Alcatel OT800 for about £5!
    HTH
  • Could not find a thread about phone coverage.. Just changed network to T MOBILE though in the past day have found the coverage where I live awful connections keeps going. Anyway of changing network due to this problem!!
