Going with tesco mobile

Owryan

Circumstances permitting I ll be signing up to tesco bill pay. €45 pm for 750 min + 750text with 1gb data.

Have to decide between the lg optimus black and the se experia anotheray. Cant afford to pay much more for another phone.

Any opinions on the phones ? Cheers

I moved from Vodafone to Tesco last month
They may be cheaper but coverage is not great compared to Vodafone and their 3G
Is very slow can't wait till contract is up to change back

O2's network wouldnt be setting any records in speeds. The couple of times i did comparisons O2's network was quite slow. Not the slowest out there. But not fast either

Yeah they do but must be treated as second class by 02 cos the coverage is brutal,they haven't invested in a network only paying 02 to use it so 02 obviously prioritize their own customers, for the last 2 days every time I go to make a call even with signal showing full strength the call won't connect till I've tried dialling it twice

Tesco Mobile customers are restricted to 3G data speeds on the O2 network currently,but that is expected to change this year.
As regards coverage,every network has good and bad coverage areas around the country.Your experience of a particular network may not be someone elses.:)

I switched from O2 to Tesco. Haven't noticed any difference in speed or coverage.
