Carphone launch yet another MVNO

Link: BBC NEWS | Business | Carphone enters Vodafone tie-up

Just when you thought it was safe to venture out onto the High Street.. Carphone Warehouse (who neither sell carphones nor demand customers visit their warehouse) have just launched yet another MVNO.

According to the BBC, this one is going to be called Talkmobile, and will run alongside their existing Fresh and TalkTalk Mobile services. This time they’ve partnered with Vodafone – the previous two efforts have been with T-Mobile.

The service will apparently be a post-pay (contract) service, based around a nine month tie-in.

Details are sketchy at the moment, but Carphone have made it clear they’ll continue not to offer Vodafone deals in their stores.

  1. There are only 2 ways an MVNO can possibly succeed in this cluttered UK market. Either it has to offer something really new and innovative and cool – or it has to have enormous reach backed by enormous pockets.
