Currently on Vodafone which has good signal here but don't know anyone on TM. Do they have good coverage? Are they okay to deal with as a company?

    Talkmobile runs on the Vodafone network - so you shouldn't have any problems signal-wise.
    Don't have any experience of them as a company though.

    Talkmobile is basically the Carphone Warehouse. So whatever your opinion is of the Carphone Warehouse applies to Talkmobile. I am on the £1 a month Sim only plan and so far it's been fine.

    And they're not a 'network' either - they just pay Vodafone for a right of access, nothing more. :)

    Was that post really necessary?
    Technically they're an MVNO, which I'm sure you know already...but this is just splitting hairs.

    Sounds good and they are half the price of Vodafone for the same deal :)

    I chickened out for following reasons:

    Has poor reviews on customer services.

    Voicemail access NOT included in the inclusive minutes of SIM only connections.

    I was going to go for a phone and contract but I'll make sure to check out if voicemail is included. Thanks

    I've ordered the Galaxy Ace 2 for £15 per month with Quidco £40 cashback!

    Voicemail retrieval from inclusive minutes

    No problems in the network signals but trust me customer service is really really poor. poorly trained staff who will always make fake promises but will never do what they they will.

    Something to look forward to then.:D I was with Vodafone but it was only today they rang me (my contract ends tomorrow). Offered me a crap deal.

    TBH I find all the mobile phone companies annoying if you have to ring them. I think T Mobile and Orange gave me my worst experiences to date.
