Hi Nadeem,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it is to be without service during a port-in.

We’d like to clarify that number porting involves multiple third parties, including the previous network provider. While we always aim to complete ports as quickly as possible, the process is dependent on the timely receipt and validation of porting files from the relevant operators. Until these files are received and confirmed, we’re unable to complete the port on our side.

Please be assured that once the required porting information is provided by the third party, the number is transferred immediately. Our teams continue to monitor delayed ports closely and escalate them where necessary to minimise impact.

We appreciate your patience and encourage you to contact our support team directly so we can review your specific case and provide an update.

Best Regards,
Sid

Hi Philip,

We regret to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it is when mobile data does not perform as expected.

Please note that coverage and service quality can vary by location and are influenced by several factors, including local network conditions and device compatibility. Talk Home Mobile operates as an MVNO and relies on EE’s network infrastructure; as such, we are not able to directly enhance or alter coverage in specific areas. While maintenance and upgrades may be carried out by the underlying network, improvements are not always immediate or guaranteed at every location.

If the service does not meet your requirements at your usual locations, you may wish to disable any future plan renewals and explore alternative options that better suit your needs.

Your feedback has been noted and is appreciated, as it helps us review how we communicate network limitations and support customers more clearly.

Best Regards,
Sid

No VOLTE so calls dropping and poor quality

Seems fine on paper but once you start using the network you soon find the lack of VOLTE causes serious issues. When my phone is at home and sometimes not in the city centre calls are going direct to voice mail, and when I call my wife (who is also on Talk Home) the call quality is poor at best. Cheap for a reason I suppose.

Hi Keith,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We regret to hear about the issues you have encountered, as reliable calling is clearly important.

At present, Talk Home Mobile does not support VoLTE, which means calls are carried over the standard voice network. In some locations particularly indoors or in areas where certain frequencies are relied upon more heavily this can result in calls being diverted to voicemail or reduced call quality. Coverage and call performance also vary depending on the handset, local signal conditions, and the frequencies available in that area.

We understand how frustrating this can be and appreciate your feedback, as it helps set realistic expectations and informs future service improvements. If you would like us to review coverage at your specific locations or check your device settings, our support team would be happy to assist.

Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review.

Best Regards,
Sid

Absolutely shocking service.

Absolutely shocking service.

TalkHome Mobile is a complete joke. They refuse to refund unused top-ups, hiding behind a “non-refundable” policy even when the credit hasn’t been used at all. That’s not customer service, it’s just greed.

Every reputable mobile provider refunds unused credit, but TalkHome clearly doesn’t operate to the same standards. I can only assume this is because they’re a tiny provider with poor policies and zero regard for customers.

Avoid at all costs. Plenty of better providers out there.

Hi Haych,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We regret to hear that you are dissatisfied with your experience.

We understand why refund expectations can be frustrating. However, we would like to clarify that top-up credit is a pay-as-you-go service and, as clearly stated at the point of purchase and within our terms and conditions, such credit is non-refundable once applied to an account. This policy applies consistently to all customers and is in line with the nature of prepaid telecom services.

Your credit remains available on your account and can be used at any time while the service remains active.

We regret that this policy did not meet your expectations, but we do not withhold refunds arbitrarily, nor do we make exceptions outside the agreed terms under which the service is provided.

If you would like us to review your account or discuss available options, our customer support team would be happy to assist you directly.

Thank you for sharing your views.

Best Regards,
Sid

This is the worst mobile network on the…

🤬🤬This is the worst mobile network on the planet.

Thankfully, I chose the same pair as you go plan to test them out. The SIM card didn’t show up for weeks.. I had to call and get another one sent out.

The SIM card arrived, but my data plan was not on that I had it linked to the card that never showed up. I had to throw up again and have that corrected.

I was given my one month, Pay As you go plan and only two weeks into it, the phone plan stopped working. I was blocked from the network apparently my data was used up according to the phone.

I went onto the THM app and the app said I had credit gigabytes unlimited, unlimited tax available for my disposal.

I needed the phone up and running then I needed the date so it was important to my job.

I had to go home from the job to be able to call them and cancel.

What a letdown what a shamble what a shame. They use EE network, but this fit this company. This SIM card is nowhere near the quality of service you get from EE.

Don’t be fooled the price is cheap because their services are not adequate.

Furthermore, I’m glad it was only 7 pounds. I’ve lost. But imagine how much money they’re making if everyone has to pay that much or more and get poor service.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are genuinely sorry to hear how frustrated this situation has been and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the circumstances.

We can confirm that two replacement SIM cards were issued to you after the initial delivery delay. Unfortunately, postal delays are outside our direct control, but we acted promptly to ensure replacements were sent as soon as the issue was identified. When the earlier SIM was later received, the plan had to be correctly reassociated with the SIM, which explains the temporary disruption you encountered.

Regarding coverage, while Talk Home Mobile operates on the EE network, coverage and performance can vary by location and device. We utilise all EE frequencies except Band 20. In areas that rely heavily on Band 20 for coverage, customers may experience reduced service quality, which would account for the issues you described. This limitation of network performance is influenced by several external factors beyond our direct control.

We fully understand how disruptive this would have been, particularly when you needed reliable connectivity, and we regret the inconvenience caused. While we note that the financial impact was limited, we recognise that reliable service is important for everyday personal use and we are sorry that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion.

Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us continue to improve our service.

Best Regards,
Sid

The worst company ever

If there is less than one I will give it, if you don't provide service in London (my location) why are you selling it? Why you don't give a refund if there is no service and you cannot provide it? The worst company ever, I have a top up credit with them, cannot make or receive a call, I can receive only text messages, chatted with them few times and they could not correct it, they send me a replacement Sim, same problem, asked for a refund, they refuse so I had to switch.

Hi Salah,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are sorry to hear about your experience.

We have reviewed the details of your case, and the difficulty you encountered with calls was due to the network limitations in your specific location. Talk Home does not operate on Band 20, and in areas that rely heavily on this band, call services may be impacted. However, your services remain fully active and can be used in locations that do not depend predominantly on Band 20.

Regarding your request for a refund, we must clarify that account credit is non-refundable as per the agreed terms and conditions accepted at the time of purchase.

We understand the inconvenience caused and are always available to review coverage concerns or assist with troubleshooting.

Best Regards,
Sid

Bad customer experience

I have asked them to port. I have used porting service with all other provider and it was always very easy process. After two days also, they have not ported. My old number stopped working and i am with this new number where i cant do my banking and all other stuff. No communication at all. I called them in the morning and got standard reply saying that its escalated.
Rubbish customer service.
Its very difficult reach out and get ajy resolution.
Update: see the arrogance in reply. still not accepting that customer is not bothered about what goes behind. No apology, shifting blame on old network. You can see the bad attitude the company had.
Email reply is even worse, contact us if you need update and no name just customer service. Look like AI chat bot.
Update on 08/12/2025
Its finally working.

Hi Krishna,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we genuinely regret the inconvenience you have encountered.

We fully appreciate how vital your number is, particularly for accessing essential services such as banking and authentication. Please rest assured that your port-in request has already been escalated with the service provider, and we are actively awaiting the necessary files from your previous operator in order to complete the transfer.

There is no delay on our side the porting will be finalized as soon as those files are received, and our team continues to pursue this as a priority.

We are grateful for your patience and remain committed to resolving this for you as swiftly as possible.
