Hi All,

I have been viewing this forum for a while now and thought it was about time to post.

my orange (HTC Hero) contract (£20-18month) runs out in June and my wife's o2 (iphone) contract (£35-24month) runs out in May we are happy with our phones and we would like to move to sim only to save some cash.

we both are not heavy users so we are looking for the following package.

100-200 minutes
500mb internet
500 txts

I am hoping we can get this for £10 a month for both phones, does anybody have any suggestions on how to get this deal?

all the best

    Nope, no special tariff. The only thing it uses a separate APN for is tethering, which GG don't allow (and other operators charge for).

    If you both move to GG then all calls and texts to each other other will be free as well, forgot to mention that.
  • I second the move to giffgaff. Amazing network!
