Hi Ged


I just spotted them too and was wondering the same thing. It looks great doesn't it?

Hope someone posts soon!

I was tempted by them, they are £5 less a month than O2 but if I moved from O2 I'd lose the £5 discount I have for the broadband. Not worth my while, but the prices are fab.

I use giffgaff, anything you want to know in particular?

i use them too. great prices. website can be a bit confusing (they are web based)

if you use data, look no further.

they use (and are owned by) the o2 network

internet was free for giff gaff only till june 2010, so you will now be charged for data.

You are not charged if you have a 'goodie bag'.

Yes but for £10 a month for 100 mins unlimited txt and true unlimited internet is still a great price

internet access is free til the end of June if you want inclusive data after that you would need to buy a "goodybag"

after June data prices (without a goodybag) are 50p a day (if you use less than 2.5MB/day you'll pay less than 50p and if you go over 30MB you'll be charged extra at 20p/MB).

goodybags:

£ 5 - unlimited texts
£10 - 100 mins, unlimited data, unlimited texts
£15 - 300 mins, unlimited data, unlimited texts
£35 - unlimited calls, data and texts

I find them very good, most staff are helpful, good forum community, good charges and extra perks that aren't usually offered on payg like call waiting and call divert

I must admit I am confused, I think my giff must have gaffed. I see there are charges of 8p per minute, etc. but on trying to register it seems that you have to buy a goodybag for a tenner. The goody bag gives you 100 minutes for a tenner but surely 8p per minute works out at eight pounds.
Doesn't sound too good to me.
Can you get the charges without having to do these goodybags?
