Yes, as long as it's an O2 or sim free phone.

Not a stupid question at all.:smileyhappy:

Tesco phones don't always accept O2 SIMs, but Tesco SIMs will be fine in an O2 phone. You need to make sure the phone is unlocked...

Yes, it definitely has to be an O2 PAYG phone or a sim free one.
If you buy from Carphone Warehouse, they are all sim free.

Didn't you say in your opening post you were on a sim only contract?

It needs to be an unlocked phone you buy...
