SIM-only Deals for Students & Key Workers

This is a monthly rolling plan that automatically recurs every 30 days. It includes blistering-fast 5G connectivity in the UK.

You will be charged £13.50 per month for the first 3 months of your rolling plan. Thereafter, you will be charged £35.00 per month.

SIM Delivery and Port-ins

We deliver via Royal Mail. Orders received before 3PM are dispatched on the same day, ensuring delivery within 1-3 days. Orders placed after 3PM will be processed and dispatched on the subsequent business day

Please note that sometimes, deliveries are delayed due to postal strikes. More information on ongoing strikes can be found here.

Port-in functionality is only available after you have received your Talk Home SIM and it has been activated. If you request the transfer before 5pm, your number will be with us the next working day. If your request is made after 5pm, it'll take 2 working days.

If it takes longer, our systems will spot the delay and we'll credit your account with the equivalent of 1GB of free allowance for each day of loss of service. In the unlikely event that the switch still hasn't happened after 7 days, please contact us and we'll put things right.

100 international calling minutes are applicable to selected countries only. Any other destination outside will be charged outside of this allowance at standard international calling rates.

5G Coverage & Connectivity

5G connectivity is available for both Android & iOS devices (iOS devices with v16.4 update). To experience the speed and reliability of 5G, you will need a 5G ready device and must be in a 5G coverage area.

If you are using 5G and enter an area with only a 4G, 3G, or 2G signal, your phone will automatically swap to that instead. It will switch back to 5G as soon as a 5G signal is available.
