Is anyone on the Tesco network? I managed to pick a 16GB up yesterday, got my PAC from my old network provider O2 so just need to call 4455(anyone know if there is a freephone no?)

But I keep getting call failed each time I try to make a call...its an iPhone 4 16GB 4.0.1 tried a reset and that hasnt sorted it. Only other option is to try erase network settings which I didnt wanna do incase. Internet works fine on it. :confused:
 
I get my iphone 4 today form tesco hopefully. How does one go about swappiong from a 3g on 02 to the new tesco one. Do I just sign out of the 3g then connect and log into tthe 4 and it restores my contacts/apps to the new phone?
 
Yeah I've tried calling that number and keep getting put on hold. Been calling from m 3G iPhone. I keep getting call failed on my iPhone 4, the Tesco sim is inserted and picks up signal Internet works ok. Anyone have any ideas?
 
I did this last night (moved from O2 to Tesco).

I just rung the 0845 number from my iPhone 3G on O2 while my iPhone 4 was syncing. Spoke to the lady and gave her my O2 PAC code. IIRC the button prompt I used was 2, 2, 2, 1 so you may want to try again.

Takes about 2 days for the port, so I've just left the iPhone in a drawer until Thursday.
 
Still couldn't get thru, so I went into the store and they dealt with it...yeah hopefully like you mine no. will be ported across tomorrow. You need to keep the phone off by the way.
 
Unfortunately mine has a dead pixel in the top of the screen :(

Rung the store and they're not getting more stock until tomorrow, so I can't use it either way.
 
Go instore. I left my name with 2 stores, and within 3 days I was called up to say they had some in.
 
Great, been charged for stupidly long calls I didnt make! :mad: That 01928 is an alternative to Tesco mobile apparently. I made the £7 call, but certainly didnt make the other one! Tesco are looking into it for me. What a pain :(

65535 ... isn't that a power 2^16 -1? If so that could indicate a billing error of some kind.... or a really long call ;)
 
Hi,

2^2=4
2^3=8
2^4=16
..

2^16=65536

Power of 2 numbers tend to be upper bounds in software values. A variable which is 16 bit will have a value range of 0-65535.

Whenever you see a value which is one less than 2^X, in this case 2^16-1 ... it sets alarm bells off. Like there was some sort of code error.

But lets look at the practical side.

If we assume the duration is seconds

65535 seconds = 1092 minutes = 18.2 hours
In a one month billing period that would be averaging nearly 45minutes a day. However your bill lists this on the 23rd specifically.

If we assume it is minutes it gets ridiculous.

Either way it looks like a coding error - or a really long call. Sorry for the math.
 
Not thanks for the help. Well either way I didn't make that call! So iam hopeful that I wont have to pay. I made the other £7 call tho, which if I have to pay I will, although it's only a landline no. anyway an goes thru to Tesco mobile anyway! Strange.
