Verdict

Overall: Fine if caller and called both use the service

Tesco has, for some time, been bundling home handsets with an O2-partnered VoIP service, charging nothing for calls between subscribers, 2p a minute to landlines in the UK and other major countries, and 10p a minute to UK mobiles.

Its new Talk Wifi service extends the offer to Wifi-enabled mobile phones – currently only Nokia’s N95, N81, E65 and E51, either your own or bought from Tesco. In either case you send a premium-rate text to download an applet. The £1 cost is credited to your account.

The service uses the SIP standard, but calls to non-Tesco SIP users incur charges.
