Italian Mobile Phone

[secsee1]

My granddaughter spent 3 years living in Italy and bought a samsung slide type mobile phone, it is on the Italian "TIM" network however it is unlocked, today I put in a tesco mobile sim card and it works with that sim, my question is if I make a call on it with the tesco sim does the call go all the way to Italy and back here to connect ?

No it uses the tesco uk network.

Your service provider is the one who provides the SIM card and to whom you pay on a regular basis. The handset is just a handset. If it reads SIMs and operates on a locally used frequency then that's the limit of it's involvement.

I used an australian sim in my mobile last year, and swopped back when I got on the plane home.

Thanks to everyone who has answered it has put my mind at rest knowing that my calls are not going to Italy and back.
