Is this £10 on GiffGaff much cop? Any hidden 'nasties'?

Probably because of Payback? I got £80+ Payback in the last six months, whereas I usually got about a tenner if I was lucky. Having a few pretty major complaints was what bumped it up this time around.
Though I do make a huge effort to be helpful and attentive on the forums too. My mum and sis (who I probably phone the most, apart from a few friends) are on GiffGaff too, and it's great not to worry about how much of my Goodybag quota I'm using.0 -
Im on GiffGaff - moved over to them from Orange about this time last year.
yes theyve had a couple of problems with outage this year but its been rectified quickly and they have updated the website hourly with updates. I dont know of any other company that would do that.
For £10 a month, its about the best deal you will get. I'll be staying with them£2 Savers Club #156!
Looking for holiday ideas for 2016. Currently, Isle of Skye in March, Riga in May, Crete in June and Lake District in October. August cruise cancelled, but Baby due September 2016! :j0 -

IIRC none of the mobile networks I have ever used has had to do it because they haven't had outages!0 -
I'll reiterate, all networks have problems. Giffgaff seem to get hammered when they have an outage but these things happen. Giffgaff put messages up on their websites and have a daily blog to let members know what is happening.
Must admit the forums are a bit poor. You pose a questions and receive multiple answers all the same - LOL0 -

Unless your EE coverage is poor, you have loads of friends on GG, or you ring loads of 0800 numbers, why would anyone choose GG over them?
Are VM still using the EE network and will all T-Mobile locked phones work on VM without unlocking?There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.

Yes, still using EE but can't answer the 2nd question as i had already unlocked my son's G300 before inserting the Virgin SIM (as it was locked to Vodafone!).
Edit: Apparently they do. (the last post in that thread)
