What forms of i.d do tesco accept when taking out a mobile phone contract?

i have been looking into getting a contract phone and have found a deal that suits me on tesco mobile phone website. As part of the deal i get a free gift, but u need to show two forms of i.d. Does anyone know what type of i.d they require and has anyone ever used tesco to get a contract?|||I actually work for Tesco Telecoms so can tell you exactly.


As you said you do need 2 forms of ID.


The first being an address proof. The better ones to use are:


* UK Photocard Driving Licence


* Recent Bank STATEMENT (not a letter)


* Recent Gas/Water/Electric/Phone bill


* Recent Mobile Phone Bill (but NOT if its for the network you are taking out the contract with)





By recent I mean less than 3 months old.





The second being a signature proof:


* Debit or Credit card (except Solo or Electron)


* Passport ( must be in date and not almost 3 months before its out of date)


* UK Photocard Driving Licence (note you can NOT use this if you are using as an address proof)





If you live near a Tesco and that particular store has a Telecoms Centre/Phone Shop then you would be better to take it out there. The Tesco Phone shops can actually match or sometimes even BETTER what is on the website and alot of stores have the phones in stock, but if not they come in the very next day. Plus you have the free aftercare service where we help you if you have any problems throughout the life of your contract, where as if you buy from the internet the phone shops do not want to know.





Hope this helps :)|||passport driving lisence
