    I've got mine though 3 and it's brilliant 15gb for £15 per month. Signal is great too :)

    Check the signal you recieve in the areas you plan to use it most. I use 3UK as their price is the best for the amount of data provided, but DO CHECK it suts you first!
  • 3 can be a terrible signal but the price is good if you access the gbs available

    They price for the quality offered

    Sadly, it's against GiffGaff's T&C's to use a SIM or Micro SIM in a Non-Mobile Device such as a MiFi/Tablet or to Tether/Use as Modem.

    I have one and it works, took a few phone calls to T Mobile to get them to activate the free internet.

    Seems a strange T&C when the devices that require a sim are more often than not mobile devices.

    I know, but it's the same with most of the networks worldwide - Tablets can use up twice as much data as a normal mobile and they feel that they are either not making enough money from us all or the networks simply cannot or would not be able to cope with the demand by using standard data plans in these devices.
