    I am a member of giffgaff and can say nothing but it's brilliant. i have saved so much money using this network! you need to take into account its only 2 years old and thats not long for a mobile network! it keeps improving and im sure they are trying there best. maybe u have a fauly sim.

    I'm with you, love GIFFGAFF, have used virtually everyone else and would not go back, I have saved money and made money by recommending to my family and friends and now we get free calls to each other.. Everyone's a winner!

    AS an editor of a UK PC magazine recently commented in his lead article that he got out of the locked in contract route and bought phone and gone Giffgaff i would expect a few more like minded customers to join .

    I can't see how Martin Lewis is directly responsible for any of the issues outlined above.

    He also recommends services and options for those with young families - I'm unmarried and childless - but I wouldn't complain about his promotion of those things because they aren't relevant to me personally.

    It's like having a go at the local Renault dealer because your Clio ran out of petrol!
    Do you have a link please?

    They not renowned for there customer service but you cant beat them on price.

    It is actually comments like this, posted on the forum, that misrepresent giffgaff - not anything Martin has ever said.

    Giffgaff do offer the cheapest option for certain usage patterns or customer requirements, but there are plenty of circumstances that do NOT make giffgaff the cheapest option.

    To make a sweeping statement like "you can't beat them on price" is simply wrong.

    Some people do make me laugh.

    Just look at the sheer number of Vodafone and Orange complaints in this forum compared to Giffgaff.

    Then compare the size of the Orange and Voda networks and customer base to Giff Gaff's.
