    When I first signed up to GG I did the payback thing, made just over £100 the first time round, and about £30 the second.

    Not any more though. The forums are horrific, full of people repeating each other within 10 seconds of a topic being started desperate for kudos and all that.

    That's one of the reasons I left Giffgaff. People keep harping on about payback but it is hard to earn a significant amount now the market is saturated, and the forums are awash with uneducated teenagers who provide nothing new to a discussion.

    I'm now with Three 12month SIMO contract - worked out cheaper than giffgaff, even after payback....

    Is it only the data packages that are to increase or all packages? I was looking at joining them and going on the £5 hokey cokey goodybag, as I dont use my phone much, mainly for texts and so my daughter can ring me.

    Currently with Orange and wondering whether it is worth changing to Giff Gaff if things are to change.

    Thanks

    I would prefer 1gb tether than unlimited without tether. I only use 131mb a month now but now I have a Nexus 7 I can use the tether to browse internet
