Our Review :
"TalkTalk offer FREE unlimited broadband when you take up one of their international call plans which are priced at £16.39 per month for evening and weekend calls and £20.49 per month for AnyTime calls to 36 Countries including the UK! If you are a heavy talker and would like inclusive calls as well as high speed broadband then TalkTalk is the provider for you!"
TalkTalk were the first major provider to offer FREE up to 8MB broadband to their customers. That's right FREE broadband - or is it? Well not quite.
To benefit from FREE broadband you need to sign up for an international call packages :
- Talk2 International Call Plan £5.89 + FREE 8MB Broadband with 40GB Downloads + Line Rental £10.50 = Total £16.39 a month
- Talk3 International Call Plan £9.99 + FREE 8MB Broadband with 40GB Downloads + Line Rental £10.50 = Total £20.49 a month
TalkTalk offer a FREE wired modem or a wireless router for £20 (which is cheaper than you would find in the shops), 5 email addresses and interestingly a 30 day no quibble money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the service.
FREE Local, National and International Phone Calls
If we sidestep the misleading FREE broadband what you have here is actually an excellent deal for those who need to make regular calls abroad. Not only that but you also get FREE calls to local and national landlines included in the price of your TalkTalk line rental which is actually the same as BT.
The Talk2 International Plan includes inclusive evening and weekend calls to 36 countries whereas the Talk3 package offers inclusive AnyTime calls to those same destinations. A god send if you have family in Poland or a friend travelling in Australia!
TalkTalk Review
"With my son working for a large cosmetic company he is often positioned at their various head offices so one week he can be in New York and the next Prague! We originally had the Talk2 International calling plan so we could talk regularly for a set monthly fee with a dial-up connection provided by another company for catching up with him via email.
The dial-up connection became a problem when we wanted to send and receive large files such as photos of the family so the FREE broadband upgrade really was a godsend and saved us from paying an extra £20 plus a month for high speed internet access. Now we pay one bill for our phone calls, line rental and broadband and it saves us so much more than if we went with someone like BT. The broadband service has been really good and we've had no complaints from any of our children who still live at home - apart from the fact they want to go and visit Matthew next time he's in the Big Apple!"
