I don't know what happened but they have just credited me £60 for the whole year so don't think it was an issue with direct debit but them trying their luck as usual!!!

Did you check your bill to make sure you are set up to pay by direct debit, otherwise there will be a charge for £4.50, happened to me.

Billing date has come, first new bill on the new plan: the the loyalty discounts and plan adjustments have NOT been applied and I'm scheduled to have £31 (2 x £15.50) taken from my account in a couple of weeks instead of £11 (2 x £5.50.)

OK Guys. This must be a record of sorts. I ordered the TT mobile SIM on the 11th Evening. Didn't track till next day. So raised a claim for non tracking.

Guess what? Confirmed 2 days ago

And I got paid £ 80 today afternoon. All within 9 days.

Super efficient or what? Thanks Quidco. Good work.

just a word of warning, keep all info on deal. as I bought this deal last year and they only applied 1gb to the account and tried to charge me nearly £200 for using 3gb, they said it was my fault as I hadn't checked my account properly!!

I think the £5.50 offer has finished, only spotted the £80 from quid co last night but when you click through you get a holding page saying you have to phone (déjà vu) on that it refers to £10.50. Plus of course you won't get any cashback if you do phone up.

Looks like quidco click through is working now and talktalk site shows £5.50 offer for next 3 days.

Does anyone know when this offer finished? This post was posted around 14th Jan. I noticed this offer was available on 17th Jan. When I wanted order today 18th Jan its no longer available. Cant go wrong for £5.50 even without cashback.

If I make multiple orders can I claim multiple quidco?

jugib to hartswood

14 Jan 16 #95

My reply from quidco after asking the same question..

I have looked into this for you and I can advise you can make multiple purchases for the same retailer through your Quidco account and these can be in any name. I would advise that you always need to click through from Quidco for each purchase and adhere to the terms and conditions for each retailer in order to receive your cashback.

Further to this i have since had 1 transaction track at £80 although in the activity of my quidco it does state amount of transaction to be £15.50 im just hoping this isn't a reflection of what i will be charged by talktalk and so hoping it changes to £5.50 once my contract starts,now trying to decide on whether to do another for my son :smile:

Quidco also tracked for me at £80

jewelie

13 Jan 16 1 #92

After another hour and a half on the phone it has been explained to me the original person hacked the above plan with loyalty discounts to match requested plan. Those loyalty discounts, however, don't appear on the account pages until the contract starts, so there was no way to tell. :disappointed: Would have been nice if the original call centre person could have told me this.

13 Jan 16 #91

Hi people

If you upgraded your current contract via telephone, PLEASE DO please check what you've actually been upgraded to via the accounts page.

After waiting to get through on the phone for 80 minutes, this is the relevant audio clip from the call. (Full call recorded, if you want to hear the whole thing - it was only quite short actually.)

HOWEVER, this is what we've actually been upgraded to-

Three times the price for less.

Back on the telephone to complain, sigh....

I would like to place 2 sim orders and get the cashback... is this possible on the same quidco account? also as my talk talk broadband account is in my partners name do i need to do it through his quidco account? sorry for all the questions but i just need clarification before i go through with this,Thanks in advance.:smile:

Sorry for not explaining properly. Its my Broadband and land line rental that soon ends, my mobile is with Tesco.

backinstock to bertspider

10 Jan 16 #79

Ah right.
As long as you take out the TalkTalk mobile deal as a current customer, it will still run.
Transfer your Tesco number over (if wanted), but you'll need to ask Tesco for a PAC code. Transfers usually in a couple of days of giving TalkTalk your PAC.

Onlydongles

10 Jan 16 1 #77

I am also curious about the TCB cashback rate. IF anyone has it tracked at £63, would you kindly confirm please for the benefit of others?

Thanks

Anon32

10 Jan 16 #75

Oh sorry i can't be bothered with cashback sites what i meant was you do not need to transfer your number over to a new sim card! Nothing changes they update your tarrif on the system! You don't need a PAC or a new sim card

backinstock to Anon32

10 Jan 16 #76

I see.
Losing out £60+ by doing it that way, but another option. But you don't need a PAC for internal transfers, I agree.

backinstock

10 Jan 16 #74

Did you get the cashback?
If yes, was it for the full £60+?

Anon32

10 Jan 16 1 #73

No need for a new sim they changed my contract on their system and thats it! Even easier

bertspider

10 Jan 16 #71

Thanks for that. Not tried the cashback yet. What I meant was if I get the mobile deal and then leave TT will they stop the mobile service?

Ta

backinstock to bertspider

10 Jan 16 #72

Sorry if I'm not fully getting it.
But, if you take out this new sim deal with TalkTalk, then just transfer your existing TalkTalk number across. You wouldn't actually be leaving them, just transferring your number across.
If you don't need to keep your number, then yes, just terminate one contract and keep the other. As long as you are a customer, your service will be intact and you will be able to take out other contracts in the future. But, you need to take out a new contract whilst still a customer. Once you terminate completely, you won't have access to these offers.
This sim deal should be virtually free for 12 months, providing Topcashback don't try and cheat you. They don't have the best reputation, to say the least and many have lost out in the past. You have to trust this offer is genuine and not a devious offer.
I'll wait until someone confirms the full rate.

My contract with TT ends soon. If i was to take out this mobile deal then what happens when I leave TT?

Just transfer you current number to your new sim and carry on. No PAC needed for an internal switch.
Any news on the Topcashback tracking rate? It was only tracking at half! Has it been corrected?

I've been with TT mobioe for 2 years, i'm quite satisfied especiaooy firthe price. I'm moving to Three though for free roaming. Retentions advisor on the phone said TT will move to O2 and start offering 4G from April 2016.

Robbo11

8 Jan 16 #67

Same here. I also have two broadband lines into my home, a TalkTalk one (for family use) and an O2 one for work only (paid for by my employer). Had to be connected via TalkTalk to be able to view my TalkTalk account online.

Anon32

8 Jan 16 #66

Yeah my account is up and running but not the app but at least i can check my allowances again you only have to be a broaband customer to first get the mobile service!
Once your on the mobile service you can renew your contract and get deals as you are an existing customer even if your broadband has ceased and i don't think talktalk are in a position to turn customers away! They never even asked me if I still take broadband!
What concerns me now is the 50% discount seems to have dissapeared! And this is whats wrong with talktalk the billing system is not up to scratch! The agents are quite good but what they add doesn't seem to get added right or they update it and something drops off! The support needs to improve much much more

I am on TT and trying to leave due to the fact I can't access the account online anymore (nor will they post me a bill!). Their CS is a joke. Stay away from them.

Agree, note discovered by accident that access to my account is available again today (no need for TT broadband)

simonspeakeasy to akexuk

7 Jan 16 1 #63

I had this problem - in my case I was not able to access it as I was not using my TalkTalk connection (I have 2 connections with 2 different ISPs).
Also, if you complain loudly on their Twitter support account, they will (or they did for me) arrange for the bills I asked for to be posted.
FWIW my TT line is actually faster than my BT line. But I agree that support is poor although markedly better than is was a couple of years ago!

akexuk to akexuk

discovered by accident like others here that they have re-enabled Web access to the accounts area. This solves the major problem I had with them. I no longer have bb with them only a sim.

but i wont get cash back that way

Edit: Although, thinking about it, I wonder if that's also as you're not using a TT broadband connect. Or your using a VPN. Just a thought.

Talktalk customer service has driven me to distraction on many occasions, I have moved everything off talktalk except for 1 mobile sim. I found the only way to get any satisfaction was to insist on lodging a complaint, u then get put through to a manager who usually deals with your issue. Agree with comment about lack of cap, daughter run up large bill once. Generally very poor BUT they do keep coming up with such good deals. I made the mistake of moving everything to BT (frying pan and fire springs to mind!). Didn't realise that BT Mobile does not allow tethering which is very frustrating (spent too much money on Defoe and Rebel), tempted to get this just for that.

Anon32

7 Jan 16 #57

Never waited that long it was 10 mins to get through and they fixed the problem so 450 mins, ultd texts and 300mb of data for £3.95. So was an extra 100 mins rather than the 50 and i kept the extra data i always record the bit and get them to confirm and say this bit is being recorded! It was no problem and sorted.

Agreed talktalk do not make it easy for themselves but if you speak slow the south african call centre is much easier to understand than the indian one and the loyalty team seem to have much more power to do things! Once again i do not use talktalk's broadband service! That was cancelled in oct so once you have left broadband you can still stay a mobile customer and even renew too as i did in december! Hope this helps people

You dont think i tried web chat first? Like someone has mentioned it wasnt available. As for the 80mins waiting, it was simply in the background of my work corner office. Was just working as normal not expecting to get through.

Been trying to call TalkTalk mobile everyday since monday to get a pac code for my mums contract. Waited in the queue over 80 minutes everyday and still haven't managed to get through to customer services.

However, if I call the sales line I can get through in 3mins just to be told I have to call customer service to deal with my query.

I previously had talktalk fibre but never again. Also eager to get rid of my mums talktalk contract that I pay for so I have nothing to do with this company ever again. However, need to get through to customer service first.

I called TalkTalk Mobile this lunchtime and got through to the retentions/customer loyalty team within 7 minutes. The assistant gave me the two PAC codes without any fuss and processed it whilst I held on the line. All in all the whole call lasted around 15 minutes!

It would only be £1.55 extra! And i left broadband in oct i think once your on it your classed as an 'existing customer' i might not use broadband or landlinpe but i'm still an existing customer

Bought this great deal for my wife on Black Friday last November with £45 quidco cashback at the time which tracked fine and is due to be paid later this month. Now an even a better deal if bought via TCB. Would have bought this plan for myself as well but no longer need it as I got a free sim upgrade after the cyber attack debacle that has enough minutes, texts and data for my far less intensive mobile usage.

be careful with talk talk, sim cannot be capped so make sure you turn on usage tracking on phone. Also usage is rated 24h behind so there is danger you can exceed usage without knowing for 24h. we got a shocking bill for 1 day over bundle before xmas, check the forums before committing.

It's been 'soon' for about 2 years now. They still haven't got a date. It's not going to be this year.

Vodafone has kicked everyone off their MVNO like Sainsburys and others have moved or closed down too. It's bound to happen sooner than later. TT business customers are already on o2.

I'm tempted by this, but have heard nothing but bad things about Vodafone MVNO's (of which there are many)...

Does anyone know whether or not the more recent SIM cards (such as these) issued by TalkTalk use O2 or Vodafone? I think I remember somebody stating (last time this deal came up) that the more recently issued SIM's were (on O2 backhaul) but just needed to be certain. Thanks!
