Stick with orange or go to giffgaff

My contract with Orange expires next month. I'm paying about £25 a month with orange for 300 mins, unlimited texts and internet. I currently have a samsung galaxy s2 and I don't exceed any allowances.

My boyfriend is on giffgaff and bought his Galaxy Note 2 outright and pays £12 a month for unlimited texts data and 250mins and free giffgaff calls.

Anyone had any experience with giffgaff? I'm thinking of buying a galaxy S3 outright and using giffgaff.

    If you're boyfriend is with GG, what does he think of them?

    Ask him to arrange a sim for you and he'll get £5 (500 pts) for recommending you and you'll get £5 bonus when you top up with £10 the 1st time.

    You'll get free calls n texts to each other as long as you top up with £10 every 3mths.

    ATM, I would not consider another network.

    He has been on giffgaff since 2011 and he said apart from 2 days downtime theres been no real issue, He has his work phone that he can fall back onto if needed so I guess downtime doesn't concern him as much.
