Talkmobile is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) operating in the United Kingdom on the Vodafone network. As a brand of Vodafone, the business is based in Newbury, Berkshire.

History[edit]

Launched as a postpaid MVNO by Carphone Warehouse in October 2007 using the Vodafone network, Talkmobile was one of two run by Carphone Warehouse. The other was Fresh Mobile, a prepaid MVNO using the T-Mobile network. Fresh Mobile was discontinued on 19 March 2010 in favour of Talkmobile.[1]

In November 2011, Carphone Warehouse sold Talkmobile to Vodafone in a deal worth £20 million.[2]

In July 2017, Talkmobile began rolling out 4G to its customers.[3]

The Talkmobile pay-as-you-go (PAYG) product was withdrawn on 31 August 2017.[4]

Talkmobile currently sell 30-day and 12-month SIM-only plans, which all have unlimited UK calls and texts.[5]
