I only ever use about 30 texts a month, no calls and no data- and Giffgaff are brilliant. £5 per month, free calls to voicemail.


I had been with Virgin for about 10 years and tried and tried to get them to reduce the cost, to no avail. They wouldn't go below £10 per month which was making the texts very expensive!


Giffgaff very easy to change too and half the price- hurrah!

Would the 321 tariff from Three not be better for you if you are that light of a user? Persuming that Three have a decent signal where you are.

For my needs I can get a better deal elsewhere.

Most of us can't. Is there any reason why you have not declared what your better deal is?

Or, indeed, your usage profile?

I live in a very rural area, so am limited coverage. That means I am excluded from lots of the super deals
However, the package gives you 300 texts and 1 hour call time, I just don't use all of it.

No reason at all.

Usage profile? Not sure what that means, but for my phone use I use a lot of data.

Minutes and texts are low priority.

Data allowance often seems to be a weak spot on quite a few otherwise good deals.

It does indeed.

Some people surprise themselves by the amount of data they end up using.

Can be costly if you don't get it right.

Love the £10 goody bag myself, went from a contract that was costing an arm and a leg (fool be me!) onto this package and haven't looked back.

Must admit though my phone is a bog standard n0kia (£20 job), no internet, no camera, just does what I wanted it to do which is be a phone Partner is able to text all he likes too so we're both happy.

I used to pay about £40-£50 a month received a nice shiny new phone every year which could dance the cha cha and guide in Earth bound satellites, but one day thought: "Do I really need this?"

Answer: Not really

Had to use their customer care once when I lost my phone, was a simple number transfer and it went smoothly.
Maybe I just got lucky? :think:

Generally though no problems and good coverage :beer:

I'm pretty much the same as mothfilledwallet. Don't need anything exciting, just a phone for the car in case I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere (quite possible) or general texts etc. I don't think (but am not sure) that you can get any lower than £5 a month payment plan, so I'm pretty pleased with it.


I used the internet connection on my phone once, so data isn't a consideration.
I think if you are a very low user then giffgaff are very good.
