Talkmobile is an online based mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) operating in the United Kingdom on the Vodafone network. As part of Vodafone, the business is based in Newbury, Berkshire.

Launched by Carphone Warehouse in October 2007 using the Vodafone network, Talkmobile was launched as a postpaid MVNO and was one of two MVNO run by Carphone Warehouse in 2007. The other was Fresh Mobile, a prepaid MVNO using the one2one/T-Mobile network. Fresh Mobile, was discontinued on 19 March 2010 in favour of Talkmobile.

Vodafone bought Talkmobile from Carphone Warehouse in 2015. In April 2017 Talkmobile stopped selling new contracts and PAYG SIMS and customers reaching the end of their contracts are given the option of continuing with their existing deal or upgrading to Vodafone.[citation needed] In July 2017, Talkmobile began to roll out 4G to its customers.[1]

The PAYG network closed completely on 31 August 2017.[2]
