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.
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 one2one/T-Mobile network. Fresh Mobile was discontinued on 19 March 2010 in favour of Talkmobile.[1]
Vodafone bought Talkmobile from Carphone Warehouse in 2015. In July 2017, Talkmobile began rolling out 4G to its customers.[2] With the 4G launch, Vodafone also gave Talkmobile access to their 4G+ network.
The Talkmobile pay-as-you-go (PAYG) product was withdrawn on 31 August 2017.[3]
