Talkmobile SIM Only deals

Why choose a Talkmobile SIM Only deal?

Talkmobile sells a selection of both 30-day and 12-month SIM Only deals, topping out at unlimited data, and with lower prices than many other networks.

Talkmobile also offers 5G as standard, and you can roam at no extra cost in 42 European destinations. The network also offers Wi-Fi Calling, 4G Calling, and tethering, and all of its SIM Only plans come with unlimited minutes and texts.

Is Talkmobile a good network?

Talkmobile might be a small name, but it’s owned and operated by Vodafone, which is one of the biggest names in the business.

That means Talkmobile also has identical coverage to Vodafone, and should offer the same speeds too. For reference, that means around 99% population coverage with 4G, while its 5G service is available in hundreds of towns and cities.

For speeds, we don’t have much data on Talkmobile itself, but Vodafone has a median 5G download speed of 184.9Mbps according to a 2024 RootMetrics report. Its average 5G download speed is 138.7Mbps according to a September 2024 report from Opensignal, which also found that when using a combination of 5G, 4G, and 3G, its average download speed was 31.1Mbps.

Talkmobile is loved by customers too, as evidenced by the fact that at the time of writing it has a 4.7/5 rating on Trustpilot. That’s considered ‘excellent’, and is one of the highest scores achieved by any UK network.
