GiffGaff

Does anyone have any experience with giffgaff on an iphone. They say that you can get unlimited internet but i know other companies have said this but really there is a limit.

If any users of giffgaff could offer any advice on service on an iphone i would be very grateful, or if any iphone users know any better deal with another company that would be great

thanks

    I moved my nephew to giffgaff today with an iphone4 as it was recommended on here for unltd data. A friend of mine who streams a lot of videos & music ho regularly went over 1gb moved to giffgaff & has said its fine for him - he's been with them a while. The porting over worked perfectly today as well - less than 24 hrs.

    Yes, so long as you use a goody bag that has unlimited internet, then it is truly unlimited provided you don't tether. Costs £10 per month.

    As long as you don't tether it to another device it's truely unlimited, I regularly go over 1gb on my iPhone 4 and have never had any problems.

    You might get asked a few questions if you used 20gb in a month, but who's going to use 645mb of data a day!
  • Hi guys - I am thinking about getting a giffgaff micro sim card in my iPhone and was wondering if you can Tethering thru the iPad ??

    I know you can use a THREE micro sim ( with the one plan) and tethering but was wondering if it works with gg sim card in iPhone ???

    No. You are not allowed to tether any devices to your iPhone using a normal Goodybag. You'd need to buy a Gigabag & swap your sim card whenever you wanted to tether the ipad to the iphone as Gigabags only have a data allowance.
