    The post got deleted because it had a giffgaff referral link in it.

    I didn't see it mentioned here either, but it is a "virtual" network that runs on o2.

    You buy goodybags from them which last for up a month and give you a certain amount of texts, mins, web.

    Some people think it is great, others not so keen.

    Those who like it seem a bit evangelical about them.

    Cheaper than what?

    I looked at giffgaff and phoned Tesco to say I was thinking of leaving, so now I pay £10 a month and get more than I would have on giffgaff for the same price.

    So what you meant was that using giffgaff may be cheaper for some people.

    You would need to unlock your Tesco iPhone to work on it though.

    If you're putting a giffgaff sim in a Tesco phone you don't need to unlock as they both use O2 network. I bought my husband a HTC phone for Xmas and put a giffgaff sim in it.
