If I could give minus stars I would

If I could give minus stars I would .

Entire process of changing over was a pain with both phones with no service for half a day then needing multiple calls to get things working .

Then received a call to discuss the service we received, told them it’s not a good time as I was at work , to be told that’s fine it won’t take long .

Unable to activate roaming while abroad , every other service provider allows you to access their platform to engage roaming services while abroad however after 2 days we gave up and bought local sims

Only silver lining is that it’s a rolling month by month contract so we can bin them off.

Cannot even setup a Direct Debit.

Tried to setup a Direct Debit three times and their system failed. There's always money in my account and I've never had this problem with any other company for 30 years! The result? They left the only 'Missed Payment' to my credit file.
Difficult to contact, language barrier issues, slow response, unhelpful to resolve and clearly incapable tech. Even their auto-responder e-mails have dates stated in the past. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Great customer service

I moved from Sky to Talk mobile about a year ago and it was the best decision ever - simple, straightforward, no hassle and great customer service. We had an issue which has easily resolved and they gave us a great upgrade at the end of the call.

Ruchi the speedster

Ruchi was speedy to answer all my questions and help me get the new sim over the line as I was experiencing a link that didn’t allow me to complete!The fastest digital support intercom I’ve had. Cheers Ruchi!
