exactly... I don't think it's possible to use 15gb if you were downloading 24x7 for a month. Yes, their network is that slow.... (and I was a customer).

Customer service is cr*p as the data calculator is always ahead and if I use data on the day b4 my billing cycle ,it eats up data from the new allowances!.only after many calls does this get rectified. Since approx January the customer service has been like that however prior it was good.
Regarding data speeds I am currently happy with Talkmobile though as I get up to 30 meg speeds so can't complain on that count. Overall one of the more value for money tariffs out there however I am still not sure if it is worth the hassle (!?)

Well it's a 30 day contact, if you experience a problem then you can just up and leave.

I read a lot of bad comments about their customer service. In particular overcharging when you go over limits. Takes 72 hours to get back from Vodafone. So had a £50 limit cap but someone spent £240!
Obviously with 15 gig, chances of going over are close to zero!
But life does have a cap of £1 - though I haven't tested it to see what happens if over run!
Has their customer service improved since bought out by Vodafone?

I think you will get conflicting views. I did post earlier about their customer service but my and others 'good' is cancelled out by just one overcharging/difficulty in cancelling etc
This is a monthly deal so there is very little commitment here.

does anyone know if i can buy this now and activate them 2 months later once my contract ends?
The deal says its on until July - probably safer to get towards the end of the offer period.
Obviously, there is a small risk that they pull the offer.

Erm no it's not, I don't need it and neither do plenty of other people.

4g is what makes much of the difference almost like home broadband. 3g is slower.

That 15GB will be utterly useless on the Vodafone network...

If data speed is very important and you have a EE double speed mast nearby, I would skip this deal.

True
I've been testing few networks recently. Life, Talk,Three, EE, Vodafone all in Cambridgeshire
Life and talk are extremely slow. No point of getting them with such a high amount of data cause there is no way using all of this with such a slow network.
EE and Three directly are a lot faster (and more expensive) than piggyback networks. Vodafone is so so.
good idea! friend at work does... this is an amaIng deal if so!

29 Jun 16#18
can anyone show some speedtests eg central London at lunch? i got barely 0.04mb on giffgaff even '4g' (found faster to turn 4g off) but easily get 2mb on life mobile '3g'

hmmmm very interested. currently on life mobile but don't get signal in stairs and toilets at work but giffgaff (o2) used to. so wonder if vodafone have better signal for central london offices. very happy with life but that is 6gb for 1345 (though they keep charging me 1500 and no idea why!) via broadbandchoices

I'm still waiting for £49.87 cashback for a £10.00 a month deal a few month back so its not guaranteed but I notice there is £11.00 - possibly:
(my cashback is due within 14 weeks from 01st April '16)
As mentioned they are owned by Vodafone and so you need to check their signal at home and work etc.
Also as mentioned above this is 3G as they don't offer 4G yet, hopefully soon.
It seems they are a 'marmite' company with regard to customer services.
My personal experience has been good.
They have a call centre with views of the Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt, with pleasant, friendly staff.
Oh, and hot by the way!, nice find OP.

Voda, Voda bought TM from CarPhoneWarehouse (its buying up resellers when contracts are up for renegotiation) and CPW went with 3 for iDmobile.
TalkMob customer care were great with me, put the big 4 'care' to shame, and several virtuals, easy call, answered quick, sorted prompt.

Going to test BT mobile tomorrow.
