Talkmobile Deals & Offers

Loved my Plusnet mobile until I went into hospital in the outskirts of Crewe and it wouldn't work. Bloke next to me had Plusnet also the same problems. The wifes 02 network and my sons Vodafone worked fabulously! Must admit I was scratching my head wondering why no signal when it piggy backs on EE/ORANGE/BT etc?

Just got a Talkmobile upgrade yesterday from £10 a month for 4Gb to £12 for 12 GB . Beat that .

Mine changed before Christmas. 50% off Vodafone standard plans IIRC.

They change their deals every 1-2 weeks.... Hold off until they do 4-5gb for £10

They don't offer that 4gb @ £10 per month at the moment, but I have found with plusnet 3GB data - 1000 minutes 2000 texts for £8.00 per month on a 1 month contract - might just go with that. I am with talktalk and they are changing my plan to 500MB data 400 minutes unlimited texts @ £14.50 per month - even with the op's offer its a no brainer really.

I've just rang twice and only been offered iPhone se 32gb for £16.80 a month with 1gb data or £21 with 4gb data. The half price was in Huawei p smart at £16.10 a month for 4gb and Samsung j3 at £15 a month 4gb, also some sim only plans were half price.

OK just phoned them back. P20 24m contract ul calls/txt 1GB data £23.20pm + £16.70 up front Not sure it's worth it. EDIT... (Another coot story time LOL) They called me yesterday and offered me the p20 for £16 per month!!!! YAY ETC I was out at the time so had to call them back today. Needless to say there is no such deal and the operator had no idea what I was talking about. So I asked for my PAC code.

My contract ran out last month and they phoned me today offering various deals but I was out so didn't get writing them down LOL. The operator told me she thought the best deal was on the Huawei P20 lite for £15 per month for 24m 4gb data, unlimited minutes and texts. A new phone would be nice :-) as I'm using an old LG Nexus which had an overheating problem so is running a custom rom to slow it down. I will phone them back and ask about the P20.

Two year contract finished 10 April 2018 wanted to keep phone and get a low use sim. Moved to a 30 day SIM with 500 min 5000 text and 1.5gb after rejecting the half price Vodapnone offers. This is a result for me.

Have talk mobile gone bust then?

they offered me to transfer onto Vodafone with 5gb data and unlimited mins and txts for £9 per month on a 12 month contract

I’m in Talkmobile Customer .. Will try ringing them tmaro.. thanks

Regarding the billing situation, I popped my sim in today and left it to go through the motions of registering on the network. Then opened the My Vodafone app on the phone and it popped up straight away with my next bill of £19.60 and the 6gb data allowance. I guess they just had to get all the accounts updated.

Yes DPD rescheduled for tomorrow apparently at my request 👹 Contacted them and they said they had been overloaded due to Black Friday and some delivered were being delayed of which mine was one

Anyone else had a DPD delivery issues? Given 2 days both cancelled late in the day wife not to happy waiting in all day. Rang Vodaphone to complain they were great took details and will call DPD tomorrow and call me back. Vodafone service much better than I expected DPD on par with Yodel

My Purple Orchid Grey one is being delivered tomorrow. \o/

There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to cancel again. You have a statutory 14 day right to cancel

Is the 50% off just on Vodafone Sim Only contracts or phone contracts too?

And some Vodafone/Talkmobile PAYG malarkey.... http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-4958344/Will-Talkmobile-closure-mean-lose-unused-credit.html

I wonder why that is happening.... https://www.standard.co.uk/business/vodafone-shares-shoot-up-as-it-cuts-off-talkmobile-a3593371.html

Does certainly seem that way - Vodafone reducing TALKMOBILE signal /service quality for some reason.

A network can prioritise itself over MVNOs, or the other way.

As sad as I am to hear this I'm not surprised in the slightest. Lenovo should change their name to Lenodon't.

I have a useless Moto G4. Presently raising a Section 75 claim because Motorola are refusing to refund me after 2 failed repairs for 'ghost touch'. Worst customer service I have ever had the misfortune to deal with

I agree, re Lenovo/Motorolo customer support is shocking, one of the most incompetent I have ever come across. All they do is tell you to phone, but then you can never get through on the phone. They fail to deal with anything that is asked. The option to request a call back is broken.

thanks op, going to investigate

That's sad to hear as this and the 'Huawei Honor 7' are the only two phones that remotely come close to ticking my boxes... such a shame it's a common issue as they are apparently "fixing" the notification issue but haven't mentioned anything about the 'phantom touching' issue - which, with your reply (and frankly, Lenovos / Motorolas APPALLING 'support') I'm totally put off the Moto G4...... On a side note; can anyone suggest a good phone (Android, GPS, good battery, gyro, compass, tempered glass etc - basically something to beat the S5 / Moto G4) would be very grateful as I'm clueless and broke (not trying to be intentionally cheap!). Happy holidays & a great new year to all!

its still a good deal even if 3g! Heat added ;)

this is hot!

this is hot!

I think talk mobile operates on 3g network..

This is good but if your happy to go via topcashback instead of uswitch and if the cash back payouts, you will be quid's in. Currently, talkmobile have the same 12 month package for £12 per month and topcashack are offering £51 cash back. The only thing you won't get is the Amazon gift card :)

It was the other way around for me

They declined me for no reason! E2save accepted me and on better deal

Oh dear, I missed it. Thanks a lot.

£1.5 is after cashback. I just checked the deal has ended. the £5.5 and £9 4G Vodafone deals still available. http://www.e2save.com/sim-only/contract/vodafone/Pay-Monthly-SIM-Card-on-Vodafone?network=vodafone&tariffcode=TA3OEAUG16&giftcode=DPLR1567735&affiliate=awinm-47868&utm_source=Awin&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=HotUKDeals

How do you get the £1.50 sim please? it would be a great help.

I wish this site would list "number of hot votes" as well as the net score. It would make it useful for things where there's a bunch of people going to vote cold because they don't like the item - meaning it's impossible for those who want to buy it to find the best deal.

Voted hot (for what its worth on an iPhone deal!) - I can't see a cheaper deal. There is an option on the same site for £185 upfront and £12.50 per month for 1000mins, 5000 txts and 2gb data. Works out £34 more overall but for twice the data (I know 1gb is enough for your daughter but might help other interested people). Cheers.

​think he ment mb :)

500GB??

Well, cutting her off from her friends until they maybe see sense, doesn't work for me. So, meantime, still looking for the better Iphone SE deal that makes everyone vote this one cold.

​Could give it a try I guess. I'll suggest it to my wife! Shouldn't have to go those sort of lengths tho. Been v happy paying just a fiver a month to Virgin for past few yrs for 1gb, 250mins & unltd texts but liked the idea of 2gb data p.m.! Sail close to it on 1gb only sometimes

can't you get someone else to get it then they transfer it to you

Idiots turned me down on experian credit check, which showed I have an excellent score of 999 out of 999. I have an exemplary credit score. And they r useless

My area the signal is pretty poor for talkmobile really regret going with them at home its fine but I have wifi at home out and about very poor seem to always have 2g where all other networks would be at least 3g

I was happily on GG for years with good coverage and speed. I suppose everyone's experience is different. I do agree the "community" support idea can be a little challenging lol but they were pretty pioneering with their concept... I guess you must have had a bad experience ;)

Sorry to bump an old thread but wanted to say thanks for posting. Just bought one (now £264 upfront) . Best deal around for this phone as far as I can tell. Annoying that the iphone deals all get voted cold. Lots of cold votes but no-one ever links to a better deal for the phone. People may prefer android but doesn't change the fact that this is the best price for a 64gb iphone SE

Wish my up vote did more than raise it 1 degree. This is a great deal! Deduct the handset price and you're effectively getting a shed load of data, mins and texts for £5.60 a month for 2 years.

yes i would be interested in a better deal if anyone chooses to vote cold

And here I was thinking I had missed something and this wasn't as good a deal as it seems. I was looking to buy one outright on PAYG so the up front cost wasn't an issue to me. What do you mean by data desk?

It's the best I can find currently, actually after one of these too but holding off in the hope of more data desks popping up. Guessing it's cold due to up front cost, even if it's cheaper over all.

Bit of an old thread, but just an fyi for those interested. Quidco paid out £30, so far had 2 lots of cashback from MobilePhonesDirect of £14.40 for months 6 & 9, even after changing the tariff to £15pm after 8 months to 2000 minutes and 4gb of data (despite stating in their T&C's that would void the cashback). So far son is very happy with the phone and I'm happy with the cashback :D

Box came sealed with a sticker on it, which when removed showed void or something so no way of re-sealing without knowing. Everything else inside seemed fine and unused :)

​cheeky g**s!

Did the phone unit come sealed?

Ordered the black version a week ago when it was showing 3-4 weeks delivery. Arrived this morning, got in from work, put the sim in and already on network, currently charging and holding for past 15 minutes with TM to get number transferred, once that's done for £12.50pm can't fault it :D

Your choice :) never had any problems myself, always check everything seems genuine. Each to their own :)

I wouldn't £600 for a phone off a random person or Ebay. Far too easy for them to report it 'lost' a few months down the line. With network issued phones, they can be awkward unlocking for a 3rd party.

That's a warning for Vodafone direct customers and is related to problems with Vodafone's new billing platform. Whilst Vodafone does own Talkmobile, it's a distinct operation that uses a completely separate billing platform.

That's what i need!!!!

True. Take all your points. Just surprised at the big difference that's all. Despite mine being cold tens if not hundreds of people have benefitted so I am happy :). PS the phone sealed easily goes for £600 even if EE locked so the value comparison is fair I think :)

If the only reason you are posting deals is to get heat then you should give up. I heard a load of teenage girls bragging about facebook likes in tesco the other day. You reminded me of them

You are possibly the most despicable person I've met on here. My gut feeling is to insult you however some part of me knows you are pathetic and you get your miniscule sense of self worth from riling people up on here.

This is a brilliant deal but as others state it will never go hot. Even if it's the cheapest possible way to get the phone it's an older phone so people automatically vote cold. As soon as you mention cashback people can't be bothered, I've had cashback declined twice (never with this company) once was my error, once there's. Both times it was sorted without fuss as I had sent claim early and was polite to staff, it takes nothing to add a thank you at the bottom of a claim but hopefully makes all the difference to someone's attitude when there's a mistake. Love these type of deals, a little work gets you what is a great deal. Be careful with thickness/weight of letters when posting as months of bills can be a size, don't print irrelevant pages & highlighting details can help. It is less likely to get damaged in postal machines if each month is folded and put in opposite ways, this helps keep below 5mm thick (a large postal item) which adds to costs & double sided printing helps. Some companies allow email claims too. I went with their sim free option a few weeks ago at £167.99 as my kids just use wifi and the odd text.

So you don't know if the advertised price includes cashback yet you still post the deal? I would suggest you are right to not bother in future. Nice to see it has been updated to reflect £300 which is the correct price.

Select any other colour other than black to see it for £9.50 per month as per OP. It is still there so doesn't need updating. You assume wrongly that it includes quidco. I simply stated the price advertised for the total contract on that site, I don't know if cashback is deducted in their advertised price or not.

I can't see the 5X as available any more for £12.50. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

You may, they are different companies

May I transfer my old number from talktalk to talk mobile?

Seems decent deal with the Nexus 5X as that's around £280 itself

​I've bought one from them and the model that came was the H791 which covers the following bands LTE Cat6 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 (Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,17,18,19,20,26,28), TD-LTE 2300/2500/2600 (Bands 38,40,41)

I think the main problem is that it uses Vodafone so 15Gb a month is pie in the sky for a lot of people.

I will repost however I posted this at the same time as the £1 life offer so I'm guessing that could be part of the reason.

Why is this cold, it's a great deal and includes tethering. The network has 22mb DL and 4mb ul in my rural town. I posted the same deal and had 278 heat on it before being removed as a duplicate. People are missing out on seeing a really good deal because of ridiculous cold hits

Tethering free?

I can see partially see where you are coming from there. I have had for the last three/four months issues regarding data usage nearing the billing cycle and it seems like Talkmobile have admitted this is unfixable at their end however an easy control is there by downloading an app like my data manager (like I have done) which counts your real time usage and is very accurate and has a changeable billing cycle data in case you change providers etc I agree the problem should not exist however the cs has always been helpful and they decided to double my tariff because of my concerns and then give me another 512mb free on top of that ,which helps ! Ps for a 30 day this is pretty good and can't see a real alternative for the price as giffgaff is capped speeds after 6gb while three is more expensive for a 30day equivalent. PPS might be worth mentioning for info on this deal for op that this deal is only on until 22 june through Talkmobile website.

Although this has expired, topcashback are paying £47.25 now - so still a good deal for anyone interested.

Sadly they are not alone. Mobile companies seem to think it's ok to do what ever they like and OFCOM for the most part let them.

Hmm not so sure, it is a much bigger outlay and it's redemption cashbacks which many people don't like. The second of my three TalkMobile orders has tracked now on TopCashBack, although the second and third orders are still "referred".

​all network advertising price includes VAT. I think you must using Pay as you go.

If you can be fussed with claiming cashback (not Quidco), this deal is much better. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/vodafone-12mth-8gb-unltd-mins-txts-spotify-22-95-mth-161-cash-back-9-50-equiv-mobiles-2454929

​I just had same issue with my first bill. Contacted them and they said first bill is more expensive due to line-rental charges, and split billing period (whatever that means), but said it goes back to standard charges for remaining months (they did state final bill is also a bit different). All a bit confusing, but as I understand it, essentially over 12 months, it's a tenner a month. :)

Yes, they advertise £10, but when they bill you they add VAT making it £12

I haven't set them up yet, so you're saying they charge £12 a month?

I just changed my son over, good deal however it's a bit misleading because they charge VAT extra. Customer Service is very good so far, I've spoken to them twice.

Good

Got email yesterday saying it was successful but not showing in my activity yet.

​My Quidco claim was successful :)

Same thing happened with me but I submitted a claim as soon as it tracked at £1. Since then I've had the £47.50 but it did take months! I've had endless problems with talkmobile to. They are incapable of setting up a direct debit meaning ive had to ring them every month to pay even though the previous month they had promised that the DD was now setup. It also took three sim cards to get me setup in the first place.

Exactly the same has happened with me.

Expected £47.50 Quidco and got £1 paid. Annoyed as initially tracked at £1 and Quidco said it would update to the correct amount before payment. Have a claim running now through Quidco.
