Tesco Mobile Failure

[lacmag3]

I live in the BT60 area of N Ireland. Has anyone else had to endure an almost non-existent Tesco Mobile service for the last week?

Your phone seems to have a problem!

Tesco Mobile uses the 02 network, which is currently reported as 'working fine' in the BT60 area:

Tesco Mobile recognise that they have a problem, saying its to do with the upgrade of their 3G/4G service, but won't comment how widespread it is, hence my question.

[Buenchico]

From my link (after entering the BT60 postcode):
"Our Network modernisation programme to improve 2G and 3G coverage and roll out 4G has reached this area. It does mean that you may experience intermittent service on your mobile device while our engineers 'do their thing' ".

In the meantime, if you disagree with the website's current assessment of the service status, click the "I disagree" button to let them know.

its now "talk talk" have you not had e-mails and letters about the change over ?

Thanks Ivor, but I thought that Talk Talk were taking over Tesco Broadband and Tesco Homephone, not Tesco Mobile.

Neither Tesco nor TalkTalk own (or operate) any mobile phone masts. They both have to use the services of one of the companies that do and they're currently both using O2:

So my link to O2's website remains valid.

Tesco mobile is not changed they are still with O2.
