Take the contract, risk your personal information! Must be a good deal

is this 4g?

looks like 3G, as they don't mention anything about 4G

as it uses the vodafone network i would suggest it is 4g but i would check with them first

It is 3g -Talk mobile have been promising 4g for two years whilst supposedly leaving vodaphone as as carrier to join 02 .
But vodaphone bought them out in 2015 and since then no further news of any date for 4g.
There are other deals almost as good but with 4g. I'll move when my contract is up.

Take the contract, risk your personal information! Must be a good deal

Some fantastic TopCashBack deals for this company, especially 12 month contracts.

Wrong news, this is not TalkTalk its Talk Mobile a Voda reseller, then bought by Voda from Carphonewarehouse.

do Vodafone throttle the 3g speeds on talk mobile?

It will never be 4G. Vodafone do not allow those companies sitting on their network to use 4G (or maybe they make it cost prohibitive). At the time Vodafone dropped Sainsbury's they were looking to exit this market as they were being undercut on their own network. Having said that, they've since become the smaller player and not doing particularly well, so Talk Mobile may still be on their network for a while to come.

Excuse my ignorance, but is TalkMobile anything to do with TalkTalk?

Talktalk is voda as well

I am an advocate for IQ testing before being able to post on HUKD

Don't think it's been mentioned, is this 4g?

I have been with them for 3 years now and its 3g only. Vodafone is doing good deals with 4g through E2save sim only after cash back. Works out £7 for 50 minutes unlimited text and 8 Gb data.

This is a cracking good deal, but I'm confused.
We got 3000mins, 5000 text, 4GB data about 4 months ago for £10.00. topcashback have just paid £48 so its about £70 for the year or £5.83

But the topcashback link doesn't tally with the talkmobile deal now - https://www.topcashback.co.uk/talkmobile/

Maybe contact topcashback?

Also this is 3g which isn't a problem to us and VodaFone network.

You can PAC VodaFone ☛ TalkMobile

Have you got any examples or links please.tyia.

Has anyone got any real world experience of Talk Mobile? I've read a LOT of horror stories about them saying that customers have paid their regular bills only to find that Talk Mobile have put a default on their credit file for non payment, which has resulted in people being unable to remortgage their properties.
Their customer service sounds really bad too.
I used Talk Mobile a couple of years ago and found them to be really helpful when cancelling a contract, and things seem to have become worse.

50p cheaper, more data and 4G

I've posted my experience on similar threads before.
You can do most things via the live chat on the website, which is more convenient than phoning I find.
I have had minor issues (e.g. trying to get nominal credits back at the end of the contract) and they definitely have some issues with their billing system, as having now done a few contracts for myself and others the accounts often show some bizarre entries at the start and end of the contract which hints at them reusing either account numbers or phone numbers without starting with a clean slate for the customer (its difficult to describe unless you actually see what the opening bills look like).

Any network service issues on Vodafone are within the parameters of standard network coverage issues. The 3G data service I find is near-rock solid.

Please do yourself a favor and avoid this company, especially when it comes to canceling your contract.

I won't go to them again if they paid me.

Apparently my 5/5 credit rating wasn't good enough and they knocked me back!

Yes I had the same problem April '16 - I phoned them quoting the code and they okayed it. I went through TCB and got £48 two weeks ago.

3g? Surely options like iD Mobile are better? Also Vodafone own them, so good luck if anything ever goes wrong.

i got a great deal with 3 for unlimited mins / unlimited texts / 4gb data on their 4g network for £12 a month / 12 month contract.

You have to pay £23/month and then claim the money back by redemption every month....personally I couldn't be f****d.

​No, they do not offer 4g

Which network does Talkmobile use? anyone know

I couldn't agree more with you mate!

Not doing well? Vodafone avoid 13 billion in taxes a few yrs ago, they are rolling in it.

Awful customer service, cannot wait to end my contract.

4g is no incentive when they aren't going to bother bringing it to you :wink:

I managed to get a further £45.45 with TopCashBack, making this only £6.21 pcm.

BARGAIN - Thanks OP

Vodafone 3g

to be fair VodaFone own TalkMobile so the relationship is different. i.e. TalkMobile have a call center in Cairo near the pyramids, VodaFone Eygpt are market leaders in Eygpt - I wouldn't be at all surprised if TalkMobile and VodaFone Eygpt didn't share the same offices in Cairo.

Yes anyone after the deal should do cash back we got £48.00 off TalkMobile through TCB. on a £10.00 sim only.

Talk Talk is a Voda reseller, not Voda owned.

I think they have a section of their website, you just login every couple months and click a couple buttons. Some guys at work have that contract.

Probably, could be same building but outsourced customer care in the UK then to Egypt outsourcing.

My dealings with Egypt were certainly better than UK contract and AU care based at 3 India a few years ago.


Best Voda care I ever had was payg based in Scotland. Ironic, given you can up and PAC at any time. English and Irish outsourced call centres are pathetic, you think a overbilled refund was coming out their wage!


I did contact TalkMobile payg and a english chap was great, like Voda payg Scotland he put the Voda contract care to shame.

I cant see why this is hot as it used to have 3000 min for the same price (with 5000 txt, 4Gb data) which I have at home (for my son)..bought it ast January but has been available until few weeks ago. Had £49 TCB with it which for some reason was paid twice ...so final cost was £22/year (£1.83 /month)

These are all different deals -

the poster of this deal means the 30 day sim only contract but others have been talking about the 12 month sim only deal with more minutes and more cashback.

Then others are confusing Talkmobile with Talk Talk Mobile.

Others are comparing a redemption deal with Vodafone etc.

If you have a 30 day contract then you are not locked into more than 30 days at a time. IMO this is better value than double minutes and a 12 month tie in for £45.

Voda really should rename TM

Why leave a mobile sim in the house?

I'm more interested in TM payg 10p for 60 mins :smile: My dual sim back up has one of these and a o2 sim (More Minutes Bolt On gives you 50 minutes of UK calls to UK landlines and mobiles) and my EE iphone and a 3 (free 200MB/3p calls) voice enabled tablet. Covered. :smiley:

Because you can't get that deal at this moment in time.

A house might only have cost you a couple of thousand quid in the late 70s, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a rip off at £250k now.

Better to go for the £15 plan IF £47.25 TCB gets paid
£15 SIM only (12 month plan) with 5000 minutes, 5000 texts and 8GB of data! Double data promo! (usually 4GB)

No its a different company

£47 cashback topcashback..............

A house is a rip off.

I'm currently with EE. I mentioned the £10pm Virgin offer (2500 minutes, plus 2500 08 numbers, Unlimited SMS, 2GB of data (3G).

For £9.99pm EE offered as 12 month sim-only upgrade:
Unlimited Minutes
Unlimited SMS
2GB of Data (Superfast double speed 4G)
Use of allowance in Europe

EE PROS:
1. Unlimited Minutes
2. 4G data (double speed)

EE CONS:
1. 12 month contract
2. Need to pay £3pm extra for 300 08 numbers

VIRGIN PROS:
1. 2500 Minutes to 08 numbers
2. 30 day rolling contract
3. Good further discounts negotiable

VIRGIN CONS:
1. Allowance not usable in Europe
2. No 4G data
3. Not unlimited minutes (but plenty)

My main gripe with EE is that I pay £3pm extra for the 300 08 numbers. They were not willing to do anything to offset that so I took my PAC code.

Any suggestions?

They've got some **** on their site about only releasing 4G once everyone in the country can have it

Do they send the sim by post or DPD?
I can't wait in all day for them

It arrived next day by 1st class post for me.
