Fixed-line rental plans too
Carphone Warehouse is understood to be considering a mobile service to go alongside its TalkTalk landline offering.

The retailer already runs a mobile brand of its own, Fresh, but yesterday, as the company held its annual general meeting, Carphone chief executive Charles Dunstone admitted he wanted to develop the brand to a full mobile telecoms service.

Plans to set up a line rental service were announced formally last week. At the moment, TalkTalk customers pay Carphone for calls but still rent their lines from BT.
