PAYG help please

Prudent

I am not very well up on phones and contracts so would much appreciate some help please as this is a bit complex.

I am looking for advise for tarriffs to suit two phones.Phone one is a blackberry and belongs to my daughter it is unlocked and currently on the giffgaff £15 monthly goody bag. Phone two is a HTC sensation xl audio beats. This is brand new. When I set it up yesterday it showed options for o2, giffgaff and T mobile (?). I think this must mean its locked. It a comp win and I wasn't told whether it was locked.

I also have an existing elderly mobile on o2 payg and have been very happy with deal, but didn't use any data.


we are looking for:

good data
a way to be phone each other cheaply or for free. DD has left home to work away and we call a lot.
lots of texts.
call time for dd to other networks

Giffgaff seemed ideal but ...

I cannot connect to mobile internet despite downloading apn app and trying manually loading settings
DD is having problems topping up her goody bag

Any suggestions much appreciated

giffgaff seems the obvious choice for all 3 and definitely the cheapest.

giffgaff to giffgaff calls and texts are free to other giffgaff numbers provided you topup £10 every 3 months.

giffgaff runs on the O2 network so all 3 phones should be OK.

Get yourself on the giffgaff forum and get some help with your mobile internet connection - somebody should be able to sort it for you.

I've found topping up via vouchers is definitely the most troublefree method.

How to the vouchers work? I don't need the third phone once I can sort out the porblems with giffgaff or find another solution.

Buy them in most supermarkets post offices or newsagents (giffgaff or O2 vouchers both work on giffgaff) dial the topup number on your phone input the voucher code and you have instant credit - the voucher code can also be input online if you prefer. You can then purchase goodybags using that credit online as required.

Why can't guff gaff just make sim contracts rather than this goody bag nonsense

Locked means locked to a network .
This is showing two networks O2 and TMob so probably unlocked .
