I have a 02 blackberry with a Tesco sim card.

I know 02 and Tesco use the same network, but will my Tesco sim work in all 02 mobile phones?

Cheers

O2 never used to lock their mobiles. iPhone is different as when you swap sims you nead to re-register in iTunes (or at least you used to).

Give it a try. It won't harm anything.

Yes should work as has for done for me...but if it had been the other way around it may not work as Tesco apparently double lock their phones so I read

Its a tesco sim and an 02 Nokia Lumia phone.

Used to be the case that, apart from the iPhone, which has always been locked to networks, any other phone from O2 should accept any other network SIM. I was told by O2 that it's not their policy to lock handsets, and I've had two phones which I've given to other people that I swapped to Orange from O2.
