The brand has spoken to O2, Vodafone and Virgin Media, , with a view to forming a deal that could see it transfer its almost one million mobile customers to another provider.
TalkTalk already scaled back its mobile ambitions in May, , which would have been based around offloading traffic onto the home broadband of customers where possible, reducing reliance on the O2 mobile network, on which it is a mobile virtual network operator.
Striking the right deal with another mobile brand could continue to allow TalkTalk to offer quad-play deals, including fixed-line phone, broadband, TV and mobile, but with the latter coming from another provider.
A TalkTalk spokesman said: "We are in advanced discussions with a number of potential partners, including O2, to agree a low touch, retail arrangement that will enable us to continue to offer a compelling mobile service to all our broadband customers."
