    O2's network in my area has gone from being v.good 3G to scrappy 3G and average 2G, so when my contract expires, I'm off to Vodafone sim-only for iPhone.
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂

    Sorry something of a newbie here.

    Anyway times are tough and I thought I'd share my latest experience of swapping network providers.

    Anyway with the cost of just about everything going up I couldn't justify keeping my phone contract and it had just expired. So instead of upgrading I decided to swap to PAYG, after trawling through the sim deals I decided to go with GiffGaff.

    I previously was paying £35 a month for 500 mins 600 text with 500mb data, although I didn't even use all this.

    My sim card was free I top up £10 per month and get 250 mins Unlimited texts and Unlimited internet.

    I also persuaded my other half to switch over and its free to call and text each other, even if we don't have any credit. :j

    I was previously on o2 but giffgaff uses o2 so I still have the same level of signal :T

    So if anyones looking to switch to PAYG to save some cash I'd definitely give a look!
    How do l get the free sim, l would like to get the £10 per month and get 250 mins Unlimited texts and Unlimited internet.

    Go to www.giffgaff.com all the details are there. Have been using GG for about 5 months now with no regrets.

    1) Pretty easy: Transfer your number
    2) Up to you. I think it's the lowest price for unlimited provided that you have good connection.

    It's very easy, I moved from Voda to them.

    Provided PAC and number I wanted to keep on the Monday, was fully transferred around midday Wednesday. As for the value? I think it's great, else I'd not have moved over. You might want to look up O2's service in your area, their 3G coverage isn't to great in a lot of places.

    Transfer - simples. Once you have your PAC number raise the request with them and it should take 2 working days to complete. If you'll be using the internet a lot then yes definitely worth the £10 goody bag.

    I moved from O2 to GiffGaff and am saving a fortune for exactly the same service. Already had 3 friends activate too which is £15 for me :)

    Hi all

    GiffGaff list their web as unlimited, just wondering if this is correct or is it capped of at 500mb? (fair use policy)
