Ordered and paid for the 4G+ sim free but the one that arrived was locked to Tesco and is the 3G (i think) with the 8G memory.
I say arrived as a friend was picking it up instore on his way abroad via my place so I have had to get it unlocked via E-Bay (Stuart Green) that was a very simple purchase, so if buying the same worth checking first that what you ordered is what you get, still a call to Tesco should result in a refund of some kind as it isimpracticall to exchange............we will let you know sir.

Anyway it is what it is aI'mi'm sure that 3G will more than meet my needs, but unknown to me it comes with no charger.
Oh well I have a Nokia Lumia charger that will do the job (odds on they will run out at the same time) and a phone charger that you can plug the usb lead into that has a rating of 1000ma..................also a charger for our HUDL that I guess may be ok.

Thoughts about the chargeappreciatedciated & for info the phone has just updated to 174.9.en.GB

Sorry just thought you were having a rant and besides I’ve put it through Google Translate and still can’t make head or tail of what you want to know.

Yes I see what you mean (just read it) and I must remember not to use my spell checker on this site as it all then gets jumbled up.
Still it is not the hard to fathom out what is being asked, but I take your point.

So lets make a few changes to make it clearer, this first part is just background & may be of interest to a potential buyer.

Here I am asking about the chargers I already have & are they suitable ?

Anyway it is what it is and I am sure that 3G will more than meet my needs, but unknown to me it comes with no charger.

Thoughts about the chargers will be of interest (your thoughts that is)

BTW you may have noticed that I do not live in the UK hence I have not returned the phone to Tesco & as I am clearly not that clued up on this phone or system I comment about the shown updates for those in the know ?

Quite simply, if you paid for an advertised 4g handset and got a 3g one, send it back for a refund.

End of.

Don't give places like that the business ffs.

The phone will not draw more power than it requires, so the worst case scenario is that one of the chargers you have would charge the phone up a little more slowly than it could do.

Thanks for the Phazer as this did cross my mind (pumping in more juice than needed) and damaging the phone.

My point stands...if you were missold, return it.

Re the charger q, afaik, overdoing it is fine, the phone will only take what is required and wont 'fry'.

Seems a very civil answer - tells you not to let Tesco give you any grief!

And it's very easy to misunderstand that you are not in the UK from your first post as it is a bit rambling!
