Hi. I have a Tesco sim and an ID sim

tried running different providers. Tesco sim gives great 4g coverage. ID sim can’t even give minimum data coverage on 3G or 4g on exactly the same providers (yoigo, Movistar etc) obviously nothing to do with coverage as I am checking with multiple phones and my router. The Tesco sim works great the ID sim is worthless. Please advise

Okay @Jason Willey, the iD Mobile roaming partners in Spain are: Yoigo and Movistar.

Tesco Mobile’s roaming partners in Spain are: Orange, Vodafone and Movistar.

Are your comparisons all made using manual network selection for the Movistar network, when the iD and Tesco Mobile SIM cards in your devices?

Have you checked your devices are shown on Movistar’s list of approved devices?

Hi @Jason Willey 

 

I’m sorry to hear you’re having coverage issues in Spain, as @andewhite points out we use Yoigo and Movistar, while Tesco Mobile use Orange, Vodafone and Movistar.

 

I’d recommend using manual network selection to see which one works best for you! But do be aware as Tesco use (mostly) other providers than we do in Spain, the coverage will vary in different areas.

Why iD Mobile?
