See if you can get TalkTalk

Need a new phone line?

When you check broadband availability you will be contacted by TalkTalk to discuss your broadband requirements.

Privacy Pack (Caller Display) - See who's calling before you answer - and if they're in your phonebook you'll even see their name.

Anonymous Caller Reject - If a caller withholds their number, they won't get through to you

Last Caller Barring - Bar incoming calls from your last caller without having to find out their number. Block up to 10 numbers at once

Voicemail - You get our standard voicemail service free with your TalkTalk plan - if you don't answer or you're on another call, it plays callers a standard greeting and lets them leave you a message.
For £2.50 a month get the personal touch. You can select Voicemail Plus: record a personalised greeting for your callers - and check or listen to your messages from any other phone while you're out!

£4 per month

If you rely on the phone during the day, spiralling call charges can be a worry.

Our Anytime Calls Boost give you unlimited UK Local & National as well as 0845 & 0870 Anytime calls 24/7 for only £4 per month - that means you can make that call when you need, without letting the cost stop you.

We're confident this Boost is the cheapest of all the unlimited daytime calls packages out there - for instance, going with TalkTalk could save you £156 based on 18-month contract length (this saving is specific to an Essentials customer taking Anytime Boost vs. BT Option 1 with Anytime calls).

* Over an 18-month period - that's the length of your Essentials contract.

£4 per month

We've put together a bundle of key features that really make your home phone into a personal line.

If your household's packed with people all bursting to make and take calls, these are a must for call handling. They can make sure you and your family never miss any of your calls or messages.

Our Calling Features Boost gives you Call Divert, Call Waiting, Ringback, Three-Way Calling, Caller Display and our special Reminder Call.

£2 per month

With TalkTalk's International Calls Boost you can keep in touch with your far-flung friends and family and be sure it won't cost the earth. For just £2 a month you'll get unlimited calls to 36 international destinations, anytime. Plus, you'll also get discounts of up to 95% on call charges to all other international destinations.

£4 per month

If your family downloads lots of music and films, or if you like to watch your TV online, our Mega Download Boost is definitely for you. It doubles the amount you and your family can download each month to a mighty 80GB - that's enough for every episode ever made of Friends AND Only Fools and Horses!

Get this Boost in place and you could be expanding your digital library with hundreds of movies and thousands of tunes every month. So you can go from Airplane to Zulu or Abba to Zappa, and watch hours and hours of YouTube or online TV (like the BBC iPlayer). That'll give the family one more thing to do during the school holidays.

£2 per month

If you call a lot of mobiles from your home phone, the costs can quickly mount up. Just look at your last bill and see how much you spent!

Now you can save even more on those charges with our Mobiles Boost. It gives you half-price pence per minute call rates to UK mobiles from your landline (that's only 6p during the day and just 3.5p in the evening).

We're the only provider to offer 50% off the standard per-minute rates to UK mobiles (Standard call connection charge applies: see here for details)

£2 per month with Essentials

Making sure you're surfing safely is getting more and more important. If a virus or other nasty slips onto your computer you could lose your files, photos, music - or your bank details and passwords.


Our Super Secure Boost tops up Essentials' basic protection with award-winning security on up to three computers. So you can surf, shop and bank with confidence and let your family roam online with our parental controls.


Our online security measures are provided by F-Secure, one of the world's leading security companies. They've won numerous customer awards for ease of use and reliability - so all you need to do is Boost your security and relax. As long as you keep your Boost, it'll stay up to date and protect you.


Unfortunately we are currently only able to offer our Super Secure Boost to PC users.

Speed is important when you're downloading music and films or gaming online.

With our Turbo Boost you'll get up to 24Meg speeds! This means you can download a song in under two seconds, or a whole movie in less than four minutes...so instead of waiting for your downloads, you'll be busy building your families collection to entertain them over the summer.

Legal Stuff
Broadband speed

We have estimated your broadband speed based upon your actual distance from the telephone exchange to which your line is connected. We use information we already have on other active lines of a similar distance to make this estimation. When you are live with TalkTalk we provide you with a speed test service on our website so you can check your actual throughput (speed). You should always use a number of tests to gauge your actual speed as number of factors can affect the result, typically these can be:

  1. The time of day you are online and the number of other users online at the same time
  2. The website you are visiting
  3. Internal wiring in your home especially if your modem is not connected to the Primary telephone socket.
