Tesco mobile phone q - change network??

[Bill]

We've inherited my MiL's phone which was on a Tesco contract. They use O2 and the coverage isn't great where we live.

So the question is, is it fixed to Tesco or can I just get a Vodafone SIM??

Easiest way to find out is to try another network sim in, it will work or not. If not then you need to speak with Tesco to ask them to unlock it (you may have to pay them), what phone is it?

I can't find a tray opening pin thingy...

It's a Huawei of some sort.

Hmmmm, maybe get the IMEI code ( *#06# ) then you might be able to confirm the model by entering it into mazuma mobile or similar.

One of the kids had a paperclip for some reason, my SIM doesn't work in it.

It asked for an unlock code when I tried so I'll call Tesco, they've been great about cancelling the contract etc.

It was switched off as I was trying to get the SIM out, now turned it back on and it's a Y7.
