Have to say have been impressed with giffgaff, calls are as clear as anyones, txts have been sent straight away, mobile internet is as fast as T-Mobile Im using, free 0800 calls are a great idea as I can use 18185 to call international at very cheap rates - cyprus for 1p landlines and 5p mobiles for instance. Free calls bewteen giffgaff phones are also a useful feature.
Im well happy - and you can get £5 for referrals :j

i would check this out access numbers to call over providers to make calls via your phone is from what i last learnt about giffgaff is against there terms. the free 0800 numbers is for just making calls to and not meant to be used for using other provider services. i would be careful with it incase giffgaff says its against there terms.

giffgaff is good for internet if you have a deacent o2 network in your area. thats it really. calls and texts rates and packages you can find cheaper.

if you use phone mainly for calls and texts have a look at asda mobile, vectone mobile, lycamobile and the new network called NOW mobile. they offer better competive rates for calls and texts. nor do they charge the hefty 20p a min to 0870 and 0845 calls.

i would weigh up what you do with your phone first if its web fine giffgaff may cater to your needs. but if its just calls and texts there are cheaper.

Are Vectoe Mobile's UK landline calls at 1p temporary? I know Lycamobile's is (looking at the t&c's).


Without bundles (because most only last for a month)

ASDA - 8p/min (mobile/landline), 4p/txt, 25p/MB, 8p/min voicemail

GIFFGAFF - 8p/min (mobile/landline), 4p/txt, free mobile internet (until dec2010), 8p/min voicemail

VECTONE - 10p/min (mobile), 1p/min (landline), 4p/txt, 10p/MB, 5p/min voicemail

These I think are the best three, although Asda v Giffgaff - the mobile internet is the difference.

Can I ask where you saw that? I had a quick look at their T&C's and couldn't see any mention of freephone numbers at all.

giffgaff voicemail is 8p/call not 8p/min I've seen no where in the terms and conditions where it says you can't use 0800/0808 access numbers on giffgaff

hhhonlyfan

ill try and clear this up access numbers and 0800/0808 are permitted on giffgaff. i contacted an agent to check this.

LOL

Despite all my good comments about giffgaff, I've gone for the T-Mobile offer and I'm leaving them.

I asked for my pac code and received it in an hour.

Cant knock giffgaff = super service & great offers (just not as good as the t-mobile one on the 10th Oct 2010)

Giffgaff announced today.
The free internet has again been extended until the end of Feb 2011.
I will have had free internet on my phone for 14 months by then. Can't be bad.

Coincidentally I was looking at their website about five minutes ago to see if they'd extended, but couldn't see anything. Do you have a link for that please?

Update: Ah, nevermind, found it.
