    The phone should work. Check the Tesco website to see if they provide service there. But even if they do the cost of internet will be ridiculous. You'll need a local SIM for any value.

    they dont say if they do ,

    Which pretty much suggests they don't.

    but tesco does give the usual price plan for international calls ...

    Which is totally irrelevant.

    May be so , but it leaves you pondering as to why they charge for calls even though they dont provide the network

    Will probably only work in some areas as its GSM and a lot of america only has CMDA coverage.

    Almost all of the US has GSM coverage too.

    AT&T and T-Mobile both use GSM with coast-to-coast coverage as do many smaller carriers.

    Yes your Tesco Mobile will work in the US for voice and texts. We don't offer a data roaming service yet. Regards Paul
