Can a Nokia 2610 on TESCO network be unlocked to take a 02 sim or will it work without unlocking it??

Thanks

Tesco mobile uses the o2 network for coverage, so you should be able to just pop in your o2 sim and off you go.

The phone may retain any Tesco branding e.g. on startup etc.

Hope this helps.

You may need to unlock the phone before it can be used with an O2 SIM card. Despite using the same network, a phone locked to a virtual network will not work with a SIM card from the network it runs off.

It should work the other way around though, so an O2-locked phone will work with a Tesco SIM card, or a T-Mobile-locked phone will work with a Virgin Mobile SIM card.

I've never actually tried it before, but this is what I've heard from other members on here.

Hope this helps.

I can confirm that a Tesco sim will work in a locked O2 phone. My K800i is locked to O2 and will work with the spare Tesco sim i got

What's that got to do with anything? They want to use an O2 SIM in a TESCO phone.

Tesco phones do not take O2 SIM Cards, it will need to be unlocked.
