I want a cheap sim with >200 minutes, >200 texts and >500mb data. I want the internet to be fast though and I need to be able to tether. Who is best?

    Cut you requirements to 150 minutes and the best one will be Ovivo that costs £0 p.m.
    Extra 50 PAYG minutes will cost you £4.

    Why is Ovivo free? It sounds too good to be true? What are their speeds like?

    I've heard giffgaff's speeds and customer service is atrocious. Is that true?

    Ovivo is basically the same as Vodaphone, but you do get ads when browsing. It doesnt affect the operation of apps, only when on your browser.

    Apart from that its excellent, and FREE!!!

    Luckily, their CS is not the same. It's much better actually.

    Don't you need to pay £15 for the sim before getting the calls etc FREE?

    As for Giffgaff, I rate them above all the other network providers.

    After the last three major outages, I gave up on them as simply a Mickey Mouse wannabe. I need my network to be working, not apologies when it doesn't.

    Yea, that's the kind of thing I've heard. I can't be doing with that.

    I don't want ads and I'm happy to pay for my sim, even though I want it to be cheap. Actually I need this as my second direct debit to qualify for a Santander savings account.

    So what's the next best since Giffgaff are crap and Ovivo has ads?

    Regarding Ovivo, I don't use my mobile a lot for browsing, but after being with them for 5 months I am yet to see my first add.
