Talkmobile Hidden SIM Only Deals: 4GB For £4.95, 12GB For £6.95 & More

Talkmobile offers hidden one-month SIM-only deals including 4GB data for £4.95, 6GB data for £5.95 and 12GB data for £6.95.

In the UK, Talkmobile is a low-cost sub-brand of Vodafone. They have a range of hidden SIM-only deals from £5.95 per month that you won’t be able to find if you go directly to their site. These hidden SIM-only deals also give you a shorter one-month rolling contract for additional flexibility, along with 99.9% population coverage on Vodafone’s 4G network.

In this article, we’ll look at Talkmobile’s hidden SIM-only deals and the best offers currently available on Talkmobile. We’ll also look at Talkmobile’s network & coverage, along with how you can keep your current phone number when switching to Talkmobile.

Talkmobile SIM Only Deals

In the UK, Talkmobile is a low-cost provider of SIM-only deals. They’ve been in operation since 2007 and have been a part of the Vodafone Group since 2011.

Nowadays, Vodafone uses the Talkmobile brand to offer low-cost SIM-only deals, without some of the extra features you’ll find on their own service (such as 5G coverage and VeryMe Rewards). Instead, you can get a no-frills, low-cost 4G SIM card for just £5.95 per month on a one-month rolling basis from Talkmobile.

The following table shows Talkmobile’s hidden SIM-only deals:

Network	Minutes	Texts	Data	Monthly Cost
	Unlimited	Unlimited	4GB	£5.95 1 month
	Unlimited	Unlimited	6GB	£6.95 1 month
	Unlimited	Unlimited	20GB	£7.95 1 month
	Unlimited	Unlimited	30GB	£8.95 1 month
	Unlimited	Unlimited	40GB	£9.95 1 month
	Unlimited	Unlimited	60GB	£10.95 1 month
	Unlimited	Unlimited	100GB	£12.95 1 month

If you go directly to the Talkmobile website, you’ll normally need to pay a lot more for an equivalent plan. In addition, you’ll need to sign up for a 12-month contract to get the lowest available price. This isn’t required when you choose a hidden SIM-only deal listed in the table above.

Unfortunately, 5G coverage isn’t currently available to Talkmobile customers. If you’re looking for a 5G-ready plan, see our guide to 5G SIM-only deals.

Tethering & Personal Hotspot

Tethering or personal hotspot refers to the process of sharing your smartphone’s internet connection with another device (e.g. with your laptop or tablet). It’s a convenient way of getting access to mobile broadband on-the-go.

On Talkmobile, it’s possible to use the tethering and personal hotspot functionality on your phone to share your data allowance with other devices. It’s also possible to use your Talkmobile SIM card directly inside a 4G-enabled tablet.

International Roaming

On Talkmobile, it’s possible to use your mobile phone abroad in 41 European destinations. For plans taken since the 14th March 2023, the following roaming passes are available:

• £2.25 for a 1-day roaming pass
• £10 for an 8-day roaming pass (equivalent to £1.25 per day)
• £15 for a 15-day roaming pass (equivalent to £1 per day)

A full list of destinations covered by the offer can be found on the Talkmobile website.

If you’re travelling to a country outside Europe, additional charges will apply for using your mobile phone abroad. Countries have been split up into 6 different roaming zones with different charges for using your phone in each zone.

Keeping Your Phone Number

If you’re switching from another mobile network to Talkmobile, it’s a straightforward process keeping your current phone number.

Start by asking your current mobile network to provide you with a PAC Code. You can get one through your mobile network’s website or app, or by texting PAC to 65075.

Once you have the PAC Code from your old network, you can order your new Talkmobile SIM card.

To complete the number transfer process, you’ll need to give your PAC Code to Talkmobile. This can either be done when you sign up, or you can wait until your Talkmobile SIM card has arrived. Your phone number will then normally be transferred on the next working day.

For a step-by-step guide on how to transfer your phone number to Talkmobile, please select your current mobile network from the drop-down menu below:

About Talkmobile

Talkmobile originally launched in 2007 as the own brand mobile network from the Carphone Warehouse. It was acquired by Vodafone in October 2011, who have continued running it as their own low-cost brand.

Although the underlying service on Talkmobile is provided by Vodafone, there are a couple of differences. You’ll benefit from a much lower price than customers on a Vodafone SIM-only deal. However, you won’t have access to Vodafone’s 5G network. In addition, you won’t be able to access VeryMe Rewards, nor will you be able to get customer support in a Vodafone high-street store.
