About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Maybe inspired by the Lebara/Lyca wars!
1p a month for the first 3 months, £5 after.
30 day contract, although sounds from the terms like a minimum period of 3 months (so 3p)
Uses the EE network. Includes EU roaming
4 GB Data (5G speeds)
Not sure I would transfer my main number across, but worth a shot for 1p...

sorted byThe Talk Home Mobile is a mobile network virtual operator(MVNO) powered by the EE network, one of the fastest networks with the broadest coverage across the UK. So, you can use Talk Home Mobile almost anywhere in the UK with the EE network coverage.
Activated fine in iPhone, and the online account updated to show today as activation date.
Wifi-calling was off under Mobile Data, but it let me turn it back On.
Just need to "roam" to somewhere that has 5G and run a speedtest before I request PAC and bin off SkyMobile. (edited)
I cant see anything where it says you have to top up a minimum amount every 90/180 days, just make a "chargeable event" every 90 days - ie actually use it.
I'm going to get one of these 4gb for 3 months deals but might get one of the other ones or contact CS to see if it's possible to downgrade the sim to that after 3 months.
a) If, after your SIM Card becomes Active, you do not make a Chargeable Event in any consecutive period of 90 days, then we will Restrict your SIM Card, meaning that you will be unable to make outbound calls nor use data but you will be able to receive inbound calls, send and receive SMS and USSD will operate. To get us to remove the Restriction you must top-up your Account. If you get the Restriction removed, any credit or Allowances recorded against your Account will again become available to you for use and your SIM Card will be fully Active again.
b) If, after the date your SIM Card becomes Restricted, you do not get the Restriction removed in the following period of 90 days, then we will Suspend your SIM Card, meaning that you will be unable to make or receive calls, send or receive SMS nor use data but USSD will operate and you will be able to telephone Customer Services and make Top-Ups. To get us to remove the Suspension you must top-up your Account. If you get the Suspension removed, any credit or Allowances recorded against your Account will again become available to you for use and your SIM Card will be fully Active again.
c) If, after the date your SIM Card becomes Suspended, you do not get the Suspension removed in the following period of 180 days, then we will Expire your SIM Card, meaning that the SIM Card and your mobile phone number can no longer be used by you and you will not be entitled to a refund of any unused credit.
d) However, if you intend to be outside the United Kingdom and so not using your SIM Card for a long period, we may, at our discretion, agree to extend the Suspension of your SIM Card by a further 180 days (and we will not Expire your SIM Card until the end of that second period of 180 days); to request such an extension, you must telephone Customer Services prior to your departure from the United Kingdom and your SIM Card must be Active at that time.
Tried it side by side with my EE SIM card in a dual SIM 5G phone .
Tested 3 times each using the Speedtest app, in 2 different locations..at home and then approx 10 miles away.
EE - average download speed - 165 Mbps ( 6 tests)
Talk Home - average download speed - 17 Mbps! ( 6 tests)
Probably the worst comparative data download speed I've experienced from an MVNO versus the network they operate on.
Hope others are having better experiences....
I can manage to make WhatsApp voice calls and watch 1080p YouTube videos most of the time without any issues.
Only annoyance is that lack of volte means it goes to 3g when making a voice call thereby blocking any data access on the phone.
When 3g services are switched off - which the operators are going to do shortly not sure if the phone will use 2g spectrum instead thereby leading to inferior quality calls as compared to the 4g/5g calls that the VOLTE supporting networks will provide.
It's one thing tweaking the t&s's a bit, its another to suddenly lock you in for 12 months when you sign up for 3, without even listing it front and centre and hiding it behind a link that most wouldn't click through.
That's particularly underhanded way of doing things - I was pondering letting my sim continue to run after the initial 3 month period but will be getting in touch to make sure that doesn't happen - I want a rolling 30 day setup. I'm happy to be locked in whilst there's a great promo period but after that, nope!
I'm guessing they've done the same on the 3gb, 6 month one
NowTel owns both Talk Home and Now Mobile.
But RWG just uses Now Mobile as the provider of its service (I don't think NowTel owns RWG).
"By entering into this Agreement, you commit to be a Talk Home customer for at least 12 months."
"After the first month of subscription, a [Cancellation] Charge is applicable equal to the cost of your plan multiplied by the number of remaining months (including the days remaining in a part-month)."
And the "100 international calling minutes are applicable to the USA only"
I've not looked at my account or if there's an Android app - I'd free to find a way to quickly check how much data I've used.
Great deal btw OP
"New SIM orders will arrive pre-loaded"
which to me reads like it could be already active when they send it (although it will be a nice surprise if it isn't and activation can be delayed).
The following are the limits in place for all “Unlimited” products available on the Talk Home Mobile website:
Data: 200 GBMinutes: 3,000SMS: 3,000
Have you tried nowmobile they have a £2.50 plan 100 mins and texts and 1gb a month. Would be good for WhatsApp and a few calls. Cellular calls are better tbh as it’s separate from data. Not sure if now offer volte but they have 5g. It’s the same company that owns this lot but with slightly cheaper deals (edited)

Just to be safe I use a virtual card with a very small balance on it, but when ordering I see PayPal was also an option (favoured by some). (edited)
Speed not a problem for me but I done this for the tcb but it didn’t work. But at 3p not exactly an issue. But just to make sure did you reverse your sims around? Sometimes the second slot is only 4g or limited somehow. Did you try talkhome in the main slot? (edited)
Will try swapping the SIM cards around and see if that improves the dara speeds.
Reads like some bot has created the whole site.
Buyer beware (edited)
Still advertising no contracts 🤦♂️
All our new user offers are monthly rolling plans. Our usage terms update announced earlier was rolled back.
You're free to cancel anytime.
Hope this helps. Thanks.

I have already cancelled during that contract/no contract debacle.
Ordered a Lebara 49p SIM and it arrived next day. (edited)
