    Indeed. I put it into an old iPhone unlocked it with Pin Code 1. Why two pin codes, by the way. It's picking up my home wifi. Puzzled.

    You don't "unlock" an iPhone with a PIN code -just gain access to the phone. Chances are that it is/was locked to O2 Ireland and therefore a Tesco SIM will work in it regardless.

    PIN 2 is part of the GSM spec for other levels of security but is rarely used.

    Your reference to wifi puzzles me; is it logging on to the Tesco network, more importantly?

    It asked for the PIN to unlock the card. I inputted it. I had been with Vodafone.

    It's picking up my home wifi alright.

    I don't think I'm on the Tesco/O2 network. I tried sending a text to the number to no avail.

    It's says "No Service" on the phone.

    I'm afraid it looks as though the phone is locked to Vodafone -you need to put the SIM in an unlocked handset. The PIN for the SIM is irrelevant as is your wifi.

    No service means exactly that - you won't receive any registration SMS. However I would have expected an alert along the lines of "invalid SIM" etc. Have you done a manual search for the network?

    The darned phone is indeed locked. Awaiting NAC from Vodafone. Many thanks.

    Tesco Mobile's website is worse than useless. It has taken me scores of attempts to register a card with the site.

    Now it won't allow me to top up. Neither can I top up on the phone with customer service as the account as there's some problem with the account.

    Don't touch it with a bargepole.

    I am at the end of my tether with Tesco Mobile. I just want to go into a shop tomorrow and get something and be up and running tomorrow.

    I'm haven't the will to plough through the thread again having spent half of today and yesterday on customer helplines for Tesco and two banks. I thought my debit and credit cards were causing the problem.

    DON'T EVEN GO THERE.
