Help with maths, MB to GB?

knightstyle

So Giffgaff charge 5p per MB an EE £25 for 20 GB but Giff gaff claim to be best value?
Someone who is good at maths please help me with this.

AndyPix

well technically 1GB= 1024MB


So with your prices, on giffgaff , 1GB = 1024*0.05 = £51.20


So clearly MUCH dearer than EE


Some companies would say that 1GB=1000MB but even then it is clearly much higher

Thanks, that is what I thought!

The giffgaff 5p/MB is if you go over your data allowance.

If you want a 20GB allowance then that will cost you £20/month with Giffgaff, cheaper than EE's offer

^^ That makes more sense

How much data do you actually use?

Voxi doing £20 for 45GB.

But it is all irrelevant if you don't need that much of data

Thanks all, I have been having trouble with Giffgaff wording on their offers. The good deals are only available on a monthly payment plan but I am now told I can do this "By turning off the "recur" setting you are stopping a new goodybag being bought at the expiry of the current one. It does not affect the current one."

Unless it's changed in the last couple of years, a goodybag just lasts a month then finishes. But lots of people like to treat it like a contract and have the same goodybag each month, so the recur option will automatically and seamlessly buy the same goodybag each month.

So whichever suits your needs the best.

RumRat

They inform you of your usage each month and tell you if you would be better off on a cheaper Goodybag. They also inform you before it's renewed to give you time to stop it or change it if you wish.
Can't see any room for confusion....

Although they will send you an email before renewal telling you if a smaller/cheaper goodybag would suit your usage
