Currently paying £12.50 per month for 500MB data and minimal text and talk with Tesco mobile.

I want the Lumia 735 but the only deal they will offer is £17.50 per month for 2 years (Same as price for non upgrade customers)

Soo, I'm thinking of moving over to a Tesco Pay Monthly SIM (3g) with 500MB for £7.50 per month min 12 month contract. This saves £5.00 per month (£120.00 over 2 years).

Buy a PAYG 735 from O2 £129.99.

https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/phones/nokia/lumia-735/

Put Tesco sim in O2 phone (I'm led to believe this works) so over 2 years it works out at roughly the £12.50 per month I'm currently paying (albeit I am having to pay £129.99 up front)

Is it this simple or am I missing something?

Nice deal, didn't see that, although I ideally want the O2 network as it's better coverage where I am. I've also noticed the O2 deal includes a charging plate and speaker. I guess I just wanted confirmation that what I have outlined works and I haven't missed anything obvious.

I think so but then these smart phones could have a few more complex settings that lock the phone to the MNVO
