Talk Mobile micro sim.

I've been Money Tipped!
Just took out another cashback deal via Mobiles.co.uk on the Talk Mobile network, 100% for my son to use with his ipad and Talk Mobile will supply a micro sim free of charge. Saves cutting a sim down or paying around £10.
Well done Talk Mobile, just hope the signal is as good as T-Mobile has been - should be as piggy-backed on Vodafone and London area.

Some great deals with "unlimited" data from £12 per month, much less with cashback and TCB money, especially on refurb phones.

    I was told that they are not in stock, but will be from next week.
    Hopefully they were telling the truth!!
    £2.50 is cheap, cheaper than buying a sim cutter, though they can easily be cut down. When they told me it was free, I thought it would save the hassle.

    Fingers crossed, though sim not needed until current contract runs out in 4 weeks - just great deal.

    ukmartian, issue with the micro-sims and today they wouldn't commit to when next in stock.
    I don't need it until beginning of June and if not sorted by then, there must be an issue. Getting my sim cut down may be the option, I might even buy a sim-cutter for future use.

    Just called talk mobile to order a micro sim for my nokia lumia which I purchased to replace my contract phone. I was told they would not be available until end of june. I was instructed to go to a market and get my current card cut. I have tried this but the chip on the talk mobile card is larger than all other networks so is not possible to cut without damage. I am now left with a new phone which I cannot use on my contract for at least six weeks.

    Yep exact same story here, the talkmobile sim chip is huge.
    Anyway will be contacting them to return the Lumia under the distance selling regs,
    pathetic really - micro sims arent exactly a new thing.

    Called again today and are now in stock and sim is being sent out. Charged £10 though (contract). Still, at least new phone will now be usable.

    Not sure why they charged you £10??
    I was told they were free and:

    If you are an existing Pay As You Go or Pay Monthly customer and have a smart phone / device that requires a micro sim, you can call our customer services team on 5888 from your Talkmobile phone, and we will be happy to discuss your options and send you a new SIM free of charge.

    Hope you get refunded.
