-30 DAY CONTRACT PLANS

Old: 4GB - £5.95
New: 2GB - £5.95

Old: 25GB - £7.95 
New: 20Gb - £7.95

Old: 80GB - £9.95 
New: 50Gb - £9.95

100GB - £11.95 plan = REMOVED

New plans introduced:

6GB - £6.95
30GB - £8.95

-12 MONTH CONTRACT PLANS

Old: 90GB - £9.95
New: 70GB - £9.95

Old: 120GB - £11.95
New: 100Gb - £11.95

New plan introduced with 200GB - £14.95

I double checked these with the Wayback Machine to ensure accuracy. I didn't list every single plan as they're always changing them. Listed prices don't include sales/3rd party deals. Let me know of any errors/omissions.

Overall they're still better value than most others, just not quite as good as before. However, if you want a 100GB option on a rolling 30 day contract you'll now need to choose another provider.

    Try Lebara which also uses Vodaphone?

    Lebara are more expensive than Talk Mobile, if you don't take into account the bundled international calls. If you don't make international calls then there's no reason to go with Lebara over Talk Mobile unless you want a 30 day rolling contract with more than a 50GB monthly data allowance.

    @strenger are you going direct to the Talkmobile website for the ones you mention? If so, have a look at comparison sites as well. I just have and, as I type (as they do change a fair bit), going by the rates you give (or as close as as £9.95 and £14.95 seem to be missing) they give these:

    £5.95 - 15GB
    £6.95 - 30GB
    £7.95 - 50GB
    £8.95 - 100GB
    £11.95 - 180GB
    £13.95 - 200GB
    £16.00 - Unlimited (to whatever Talkmobile's FUP is)

    Also, all the above are 30 day minimum term as well.

    I deliberately only quoted prices from their website, as this was meant to inform of their reduced allowances rather than showing the best deals. But yeah, you can get good deals from third party sites.
