Talk Mobile

On the talktalk website you can't get the mobile offers without having talktalk already for phone/broadband. However, I've seen talk mobile contract deals on other sites and they don't seem to mention that you need to already have talktalk.

So for these talk mobile contracts through other sites do you have to have talktalk or are they open to everyone?

Thanks.

    Talkmobile and Talktalk aren't the same, although both are related to CPW.

    Oh right, thanks. I assumed they were the same. Then again, I'm sure when I typed Talk Mobile into Google the other day the first result was TalkTalk and other results were a mix of the two.

    As far as i know Talk Mobile uses Vodafone network and Talktalk i think is to use Tmobile which is EE.

    You'd think they'd go for a different name. Almost the same name, some deals that are fairly similar, same network...who thought that was a smart idea.

    I did wonder if they were different but assumed otherwise from general searches.

    Just done a search for both now and getting different results to before. Talktalk mobile hardly brings up anything at all to start with. Most of the page is the main talktalk site a help page then a news section. Have to scroll right down to see any other searches. I'm certain it wasn't like that last I searched. Very odd.

    I tried searching for the answer before asking but it just brings up searches on both as if it's the same thing.
