Postage & Packaging: £0.00 Availability: 3-5 working days
Advantages: O2 coverage (best in the UK), free credits, easy top up, unlatch possible Disadvantages: high call charges (expected with PAYG phone)
Here I would like to talk about the Tesco mobile service rather the phone.
For the phone Sony Ericsson T303 please read my other review posted yesterday.
First of all, I got the phone and Tesco (always) has an offer of buying a new PAYG phone and credit you £10! This is not a free credit which will expire after a month but 'real' credit that will never expire until you have used it. Good !
The second impressive offer is triple you top up i.e. I have topped up £15 and Tesco gave me £30 free credit (expires after one month - if you don't use it, you lose it). You do need to pre-register this prior to your first top-up. The most important thing of this offer is: your free credits automatically get used first and then your real credits. Free credits can be used for normal national calls including landlines and text ...

Advantages: Cheap, easy to get started, good coverage, clubcard points Disadvantages: None so far
So here we go again another review brought about by the fact I had to move to keep my job (long story and will be covered when I write the review of my employers when and if Ciao list them). Sadly for Orange their network doesn't cover Lydd camp - just the area outside it but no signal penerates the camp fence oddly enough.
So while on my hunt for a working network I checked the O2 website and found they claim to have full coverage across the camp, not long after this I remembered the handset and SIM I was given by the nightclub I used to work for but was on Tesco mobile. Dont worry I've not lost it, Tesco mobile and O2 are pretty much the same thing because Tesco buy the 'spare' satellite time from O2 to operate their network. Which means that while the Tesco sell the SIM's and the handsets its O2 that owns and operates ...

Advantages: Reasonable cost and a straightforward range of tariffs Disadvantages: Some underlying network problems
Want to buy your mobile while picking up your beans? Why not go one better and have the supermarket BE the mobile network with Tesco Mobile (well almost? see below!).
When did Tesco build a mobile network?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The answer, of course, is that they didn't. The Tesco Mobile network is a 'virtual' network, similar to Virgin Mobile, in this case being carried on the O2 network. It is a joint venture between Tesco and O2. Why do these virtual networks exist? On the (physical) network operator's side they use up spare capacity while someone else picks up the marketing bill. On the (virtual) network operator's side they gain the ability to offer mobile telephony services without the need to spend (many) millions and years building a network. Here O2 effectively get access to Tesco's undoubted marketing ability ...
