Tesco and Giffgaff use the O2 network, Talkmobile use Vodafone so check your coverage!

I recommend giffgaff - I don't need unlimited but it gives me peace of mind (and I support them for having no fair use plan!).

I've swapped my son over to Giffagff. Best move I ever made. £10 a month gets him 250 minutes, unlimited text and totally unlimited internet. He loves it and so does my wallet! Plus, as already mentioned, Giffgaff use the o2 network so coverage is practically perfect!

Make sure you ask to be referred, either by someone here or someone you know. Giffgaff works on the premise of word of mouth by its users, if you are referred, both you and the referrer get a £5 credit to your account!

You can't go wrong with giffgaff £5 a month and you get 300 texts & 60 minutes perfect for a light user

Or go via Quidco for £5 cashback:)

I've not used Tesco, but have used Giffgaff (monthly goodybags for about 8 months) and now Talkmobile (contract, pay monthly for a couple of months). I'd have to say that Giffgaff is very good value, but I had a few problems. Firstly, text messages sometimes played up. I'd send a message and it'd fail a dozen times before sending, then send half a dozen copies of the same text. This was with a full signal bar, so I'm assuming reception wasn't an issue. The internet was also incredibly slow. Am on Talkmobile now, and whilst the internet is slow at times, it's a lot faster than when I was on Giffgaff.

Vodafone have a better network than o2 but then giffgaff has unlimited data & texts on £10 goodybags if that is important to you.
