Apple Watch 8 with Tesco

I’m looking into getting the Apple Watch series 8 with cellular. It says that o2 is a supported carrier, I’m with Tesco mobile but they use o2’s network so would this work?

Tesco is an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) and the things they are allowed to do on the O2 network are spelled out in their contract with O2.


Unless Tesco explicitly states they support the Apple Watch, then their contract does not allow sharing the iPhone number with the Apple Watch.


There are very few MVNO carriers that sign contracts that support the Apple Watch.
