    There are adverts on the Ovivo website.

    You get emails with "special offers", but if you don't want them you can filter them to the bin or simply unsubscribe from them.

    What is their business plan then if they don't sell adverts ?

    Would not be enough data for me personally but probably good for low to no data users but can't see Ovivo being around for long in it's current format.

    People have saying that the Ovivo deal is too good to be true ever since they started up.

    But they are still going strong.

    I love paying £0 per month for a great service :D

    I've got a second Ovivo sim for my spare phone, and I use this at home instead of my landline. So big savings in each month on both landline and mobile bills.:T

    As Daz has said the adverts will be returning in Spring next year.
    Which is a good thing IMO as it means they will be getting revenue which should mean they will be able to continue.
    The adverts were never a problem to me as they could easily be skipped
    It's not just about the money

    Still not as good as Giffgaff for my needs as I would be paying for data add on's , paying for 0800 calls, paying 16p a min for other 08 numbers etc so not really free. I don't use a landline either and believe Giffgaff will be around for longer than Ovivio.

    You can avoid paying for 0800 numbers using WeQ4U.

    Yes its true you can sometimes get a alternative number for 08 numbers but in my experience this only works for around 50% of numbers ( 0800 is completely free on Giffgaff as it should be)
    Prefer not to faff about if possible with catchpenny networks to be honest.

    Ovivo has very responsive and helpful customer services, unlike some other mobile companies......

    I believe its another sneaky information gathering service.
    I find the http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php works best for me.
