News that carphone warehouse is planning to re-brand its in house mvno 'Fresh' are already complete...now known as 'talk talk mobile take 5', also vodafone are now favoring rival phones4u as a prefered high street retailer as opposed to the cpw!

www.talktalk.co.uk (i think) then mobile then 'take 5'

The reason that Vodafone is out, according to CPW, was that V insisted CPW should sell more of their contracts, but CPW says it will give independent advice, and only sold 10% Vodafone anyway.

If it's as accurate as CPW comments on its broadband fiascos then anything is possible.

I'm surprised they think TalkTalk is a popular name at the moment, given that about a third of its broadband customers have not been connected yet, and perhaps about 10% have given up and cancelled.

What's the sense of this offer? 35p/min is incredibly expensive, I think the 5 free minutes you get every day (after paying at least other 5) is not so convenient anyway...

I don't understand why CPW kept Fresh...from what I could see Mobile World, also a brand they use, seemed a better deal.....

they just lost (or are about to loose) being able to offer vodafone as a post paid operator so i think they are trying to keep everyones eyes off the ball so to speak
