It really is for PAYG.

The friend has to ask Orange to unlock the phone. It will cost £20 and Orange are notorious for taking ages to do this.

and are the tariffs the same or does she need a top up , thank you

She does need to top up, then use the balance on buying some 'goodybag' that lasts for a month.

Giffgaff is a virtual network running on O2

I used to be on Giffgaff, but a few months ago switched to Ovivo for the free monthly bundles.

For most people Ovivo works out much cheaper. It is a virtual network on the vodafone network. Also PAYG, or for light-medium users completely free (due to free monthly bundles).

Why pay more?
