iPhone Sim Only Deals

Options
I've come to the end of my 18 month contract for my iPhone & wish to go onto a sim only deal.

Just wondered what deals are around?

I'm currently with o2, considering their Simplicity tarrif but wanted to shop around first.

    Do watch out for the data overheads. You can switch to O2 PAYG and continue to get 'free' Web & WiFi for £10pm, which will change very little of your original experience.

    If you don't care about the wifi you can get unlimited texting, unlimited internet and 150 (250 for the next month) calls for £10 a month on giffgaff. This operator uses the O2 network so apart from changing a few settings you'd be good to go.

    You'll either need to order a microsim from someone on the giffgaff site that offers them or cut your own down though. (If you order from someone on the giffgaff site you get £5 free credit on activation).

    Depends on your usage but as fiendishlyclever said Giffgaff is worth a look for the unlimited data fair use policy.I am on Giffgaff too since July last year & it is good.I do micro sims if you like(hope im not breaking rules saying that!).

    The trouble with GiffGaff is that although it uses O2's network, O2's online customer benefits, like early event tickets, O2 Money debit cards etc are unavailable as you are not seen as an O2 customer. If this is important, switching to a virtual operator using the same network could have some downsides. A plus, is that the phone will not need unlocked as the GG/O2 SIM will not be rejected.

    GiffGaff won't do a micro sim if you have an iPhone 4 and don't want to cut down a sim.
