    Hi i want to port to tesco in april when finished with vf but looking at the forms they look for a new 089 number in the required fields,i want to keep my number and phone so how does this work.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,357 ✭✭✭Tesco Mobile: Paul


    Yes you can keep your number. All our sims come with an 089 number and then you port your own number In over it

    Or you just go on-line, order a free SIM and Tescomobile will post it out to you very quickly -

    Hi Shannon

    Please follow the instructions below exactly and it should work fine.

    2. Go to Settings-> Wireless&Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and delete all existing APN’s.

    3. Create a new Internet APN with settings
    Name: TMI Internet APN
    APN: tescomobile.liffeytelecom.com
    MCC: 272
    MNC: 11
    APN Type: default, supl
    (sometimes for APN Type setting you are only allowed choose froma list. If so choose Internet or default)

    4. Create a new MMS APN with settings
    Name: TMI MMS APN
    APN: tescomobile.liffeytelecom.com

    Hi Paul,

    Id like you to pass this message onto your returns people for me please. I got a Mojo Chat from yourselfs and I was very disapointed with the coverage. So much that I cancelled my contract within the 14 days and waitind 2 weeks to get the return "bag", This bag turned out to be a padded enevlope about 6 x 10 inchs in size and the phone box to be returned is thepretty much same width as the enevlope. Also I when I cancelled the contract I wasn't made aware I would have to pay for the return cost. I don't mind doing it as it is the norm if you are posting something but I do mind not being told id have to do it.

    Bascially they sent me out a padded enevlope that is wayyyyyyy too small for the return and did not make me aware of the cost i would incure sending it back due to very network coverage for 11 days straight.

    Thanks for reading this and I hope you will pass it on as it puts a very dim view on tesco mobile from customers who experience the same thing.

    Thanks for the feedback Gareth and apologies for what was a very poor experience.

    I will review this with our team responsible for the returns/repair process and hopefully your experience will lead to some improvements in the process for others.

    Paul
    Are Tesco roaming rates (making calls/receiving calls) per minute or per call?
    The Web section on roaming charges does not specify.
    Thanks

    Paul,
    Do you know if this issue has been resolved yet? I've spent hours on the phone with customer service going all the way back to last September. It's very frustrating!

    Sorry for the trouble on this one. I am assured it is to be resolved this week

    regards
    Paul

    Hi!

    My mobile LG P500 Optimus One

    I arrived in Ireland and got the tesco sim-card for free and put 10 euros of credit (topup) read about Data Bundles (Text "Date" to 174209. Cost of your bundle will be deducted from your credit balance) to send the message but internet does not work, why?

    I tried to configure wap and mms did not work as well as link below:

    I deleted the word "default" in Type APN and wrote default again

    I enabled the option Data Roaming not know now what triggered the internet.

    it worked :)
