History

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The Talkmobile pay-as-you-go (PAYG) product was withdrawn on 31 August 2017.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 sells 30-day and 12-month SIM-only plans, which all have unlimited UK calls and texts. [5]
