I assume their market is older and/or non technical people who are
 reassured by the brand, want to deal with human beings at their
 Tesco stores, and (initially anyway) want voice and texts. People
 like my brother - which I why I sent him there to buy a 4g phone
 and a 'lite' plan. They set it all up for him. 

(I'm now trying to persuade him to carry it with him.)
