    website is analytically bad, support on a phone- great!
    Reception on 2g is good, but if you ever going to use 3-4g- bit expensive and not as fast as EE

    TalkMobile doesn't (yet) have 4G - it's 2G and 3G only - see this page on their website.

    Are you going into hospital for a year?

    No its because my wife has lots of appointments because she had a kidney transplant and is still quite ill with other illnesses as well so we are up and down to the hospital a lot.
    On the wards you cannot get wifi but vodafone works fine as for the appointments we go to see loads of different doctors in different parts of the hospital there wifi doesn't do the whole hospital just parts.

  • Sounds like Talkmobile is a good choice in your case sdduk, given that you want to benefit from the Vodafone network's coverage.

    Also, you can get cashback for joining Talkmobile if you go through Top Cashback or Quidco.
