talkmobile are they any good

I never even though about call waiting! I use that all the time. Doe T-Mobile offer it?

I thought lots of virtual networks support call waiting. Do GG? T-Mobile must do.

i would assume t-mobile do, tesco mobile do not, taken from their faq "We're sorry, call forwarding and call waiting are not currently available on the Tesco Mobile network." and they are a virtual network i am begging to think none of the VN support call waiting?

edit i see giffgaff do support CW

Avoid this company like the plague. After 2 months, 15+ phone calls, a bill for £411 and having my name sent to a debt collection agency and all for a contract that I don't have and a phone I never received. Please beware!!!

hi there
do you find the signal strength and call quality is the same as vodafone,

is 5888 automated and is this available 247, does it also tell you your remaining data as well

i would also like to know if the do itemized billing ,

many thanks

Hi, The signal & quality appears to be the same as with Vodafone.
5888 is automated, but by pressing various options, you can speak with a person. I think you can only speak to a person during office hours, ie, 9-5 mon-fri
I have inclusive data with my deal, so when I call to check, I only get minutes & texts info.
With regards to itemised billing, I cannot view my bill on-line until I receive my first postal one, at which point, I should be able to register for on-line billing, and hopefully, will be able to view itemised bill.
I got the Samsung Galaxy S, £18 p.m.
£55 Quidco (I think)
Am loving the phone, only drawback is the battery is pretty rubbish, I used to charge my old phone once a week, this one has to be charged every night!

Theyre the best for data apart from three. They have all the things you're looking for, text bal to 150 for your balance, remaining minutes etc. My limit is 500 meg 6 months into my contract I've caned through over 9 gigs they've never complained and they don't charge u extra. Just to clarify I have sky mobile tv so I live stream about 600-800 megs a month.

Website straight forward and quick, and they have an app on iPhone. Don't forget 5 for £5 as well, great deal with blockbuster

Can't recommend them enough.

Almost any virtual network is better than T-Mobile.

many thanks for posting back so if you have a 500mb of data the checker will not tell you how much you have used? will the checker tell you when the information for remaining mins and txts was last updated?, many thanks

I am with Virgin and although they run on the T Mobile network which shares with orange, Virgin customers cannot. If I could I wouldn't be leaving as I would get 2 x network operators for my 3g. Following this logic my suggestion is T mobile. This is backed up by reading up on TM, not many satisfied customers it seems!! did you see the views on Ciao ? - also I have emailed them twice to ask about itiemised billed and they havn't responded.

hi there, i took them a week to reply to my email, i talker to them yesterday and the said itemized billing was 99 pence a month, well my area is a bit ok a black spot and the only networks that got ok reception is 02 and vodafone, the rest get no signal.
