The ISP has announced today that is has concluded a deal with Vodafone to operate as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) offering both mobile voice and broadband services to its 4.2m broadband subscribers.

Charles Dunstone, Chairman of TalkTalk Group, said, “Over the last 5 years, TalkTalk Group has invested over £1 billion to transform the UK broadband and voice market into one of the most vibrant and good value in the world. Our customers tell us that they expect the same value from their mobile services that they've come to expect from their home phone and broadband, so that's what we intend to provide. We've chosen Vodafone as our network partner as they have a proven network and a track record of success with their MVNOs.”
