talktalk mobile deal (too good to be true?)

Hi all,

I just saw that talktalk.ch, which is a mobile reseller using the Sunrise network, is running a "Single's week" promotion.

https://www.talktalk.ch/en/lp/singles-day-2021.html

For 11chf per month, you get unlimited everything in Switzerland and 10gb in EU/UK/US. I looked at the conditions, and other than the fact that "unlimited" data in Switzerland is actually 40GB, I don't see any other catch. But it looks way too cheap to be true. Does anyone see something I am missing that could explain this low price? Or does someone have horrible experiences with them?

Thanks in advance.

The position of the apostrophe in "Single's" indicates that this offer is limited to only one person...

Wow - this is less than half of what I'm currently paying. Seems like a great deal!

I'm currently with Aldi Mobile and have lost reception a couple of times - can anyone who has used Talktalk (or I guess, Sunrise) for cell phones confirm if the network coverage is likely to be the same or better/worse?

Thanks for sharing, @phant.

Sunrise sucks. There's several threads on here... It's the reason I had to get a personal phone, as my company moved to sunrise and I couldn't keep dropping client calls.

Ah, there's the rub! The amount of Sunrise lack-of-service/coverage threads on here says it all!

Thanks for the save, Spinal

Half price, half service

But isn't Aldi also on Sunrise? So your network quality (or possibly lack thereof) should stay the same.

I am with Yallo now (so also Sunrise) and find the network better than Salt, but worse than Swisscom.

It is a good deal , and I am happy with talktalk.

I have been using them for sometime, I am on a 30CHF plan that let me call in EU as much as I want

very happy.

Mot so long ago they had the XXL plan for 30CHF.

Correct.

See Wiki in German .

Unsurprisingly the Provider entry lists who's piggybacking on the net.

I was with UPC and moved to TalkTalk for the XXL deal for 30 CHF and Young for 20 CHF for daughter. Absolute nightmare before finally porting over some weeks later. Overcharged, very poor customer service, submitted ID multiple times and the connection now is just about acceptable. I ended up writing a letter to the Customer Services Director for the Mobilezone Group which owns TalkTalk. We had a chat and he acknowledged it was a “poor customer experience”.

Don’t do it is my advice. You’ll pay for those savings...

If I do decide to sign up, perhaps someone could send me a recommendation via pm (I think I just need the mobile number according to https://www.talktalk.ch/en/mobile/friends.html ), so that we can both get 50chf?

I am also switching to TalkTalk and would be happy to he recommended. Please PM me your mobile number to get 50 chf. Thanks.

Hmm ... I went to the talktalk website again, and it appears that they changed the 10GB/month abroad to 1GB/month.

Still a pretty good deal, but I am not very happy that the conditions can just change on a whim. I wonder if they would have honored the 10GB deal if someone signed up before the change, or simply said that there was a mistake and said take it or leave it.

Having dealt with them before, 03 words.....run like hell....

Stay with Swisscom or Sunrise or Salt

FYI

Talktalk is (again) having a great offer on there XXL plan.

Now it's 25CHF (last time it was 30CHF) instead of 90CHF.

This is a bit of a long shot, but does anyone have proof of this? I got told its 1gb and it put me in a really shitty position. I know it's 10gb myself but they are point blank saying it was not...

It says its 10gb in my contract but they refuse to believe me and say it is 1gb

Someone have talk talk referal friend?

Aldi mobile seems to use sunrise network but slightly quicker data speeds than talktalk if https://www.dschungelkompass.ch/ comparison of sunrise providers is to be believed. The talktalk offer is cheap as it gives European data as well but if your network coverage is no good then it probably isn’t worth it.

Coop basic looks a good option on offer on the Swisscom network with 8 gb a month and 50gb data to use which does not expire.

2 years with talktalk and pretty happy except a period where i was having no coverage at all at work and connection can cut in the train.

From what I've experienced, Salt and Sunrise are not better, customer services were actually better with talktalk.
