    £10 per month goodybag gets you 500 minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB data, plus free GG-to-GG calls.

    Even calling your answerphone only counts as 1 minute from your allowance (unlike some other providers who charge extra for such calls).

    There are some out-of-plan fees of course, such as MMS, 0845/0870 and premium rate calls and texts. But these are very reasonable.

    Another vote for giffgaff here. All family and friends are on it too so as giffgaff to giffgaff calls and texts are free, it costs very little.

    trouble with GiffGaff is that they dont give all the comparisons on their page http://giffgaff.com/compare-pay-as-you-go-tariffs so trying to make their costs better than others

    Think they're probably all the same. I left Orange as they were proper tuwunts. Didn't think much of 3 or T-Mobile either.
    Am now with Tesco Mobile and have loads of reception problems and a phone that has loads of annoying glitches that I'm stuck with for another year...
