TalkMobile - a warning

Yes, this company offers cheap service, but beware.

There are no overseas packages to buy, if you travel you pay by the minute.

You'll be getting 3G not 4G, that means internet and data can be slow or very slow.

I found the customer service to be very good, but am moving to get faster speeds and cheap deals on overseas calls.

Agreed it's probably not the cheapest for overseas.

However it's really good value for UK and I've found their 3G to be pretty fast, better than some other's 4G.

It's perfect for my wife who couldn't careless about data speed and roaming.

I find there payg sim that charges 10p for call to UK landlines or mobiles for upto 1 hour a excellent landline replacement.

If you are abroad try to call using wi-fi instead. All networks have silly prices when go outside the EU.

How do you do that? I know WhatsApp lets you do it but only if the person you are calling has WhatsApp

System

The roaming charges are pretty standard - bundles aren't essential.

You can use Whatsapp, Viber and (iMessage if on Apple) on Wifi - this should cover most people who have a smart phone. You can pay various VOIP providers (including Viber) to make other calls to non-smart phone holders.

The only network with very cheap roaming is 3/iD.
