I’m totally owed off as I’ve been with orange then Ee and always had an iPhone, this time prices have soared and I can afford it. There just a bunch of sharks.

Thirty years nearly. Year after year I’ve had an iPhone X 2 but nothing this year. There screwing people into the ground with these ridiculous prices. Going g to look at Tesco iPhones so much more friendly

Tesco is an MVNO using O2. Be sure to test O2's service in all the areas you'll be wanting to use your phone.

They're generally the worst performing network, especially for data. They certainly don't have the same focus on network quality as others.
