    I am currently on Sim only deal with Vodafone (Unlimited minutes, Unlimited texts, 3GB data) for £16.50 (25% discount on £22) for 12 months and this ends in March and it will revert back to £22.

    I am looking for the same type of a package but for a lower price - at most £12. I have called Vodafone, the best offer on my firt call was £15.30 (down from £17). Are there any better offers there? I dont want to have to pay for voice mail or 0800 calls etc.

    Many thanks

    I changed to GiffGaff on PAYG, brilliant ! Especially if you are not a heavy user, I got their cheapest GoodyBag (1 month deal no contract) @
    £5 per month. 100 mins. 200 texts and 200Mb of data. On o2 network
    whom I used to be with before and it is no different, except much cheaper.

    Iv'e just called EE and asked for my pac code as I am looking to join BT. They offered me £14.99 for 4gb or £18.99 for 6GB. I am currently paying £21.99 for 5gb. I decided not to take the offer and took my pac code. BT for £16 for 20GB a month as I am already a customer.

    Not seen much mention of giffgaff over the past few pages. How are they rated nowadays?

    I've been with Virgin for donkeys years.
    Am on the £8 a month for unlimited texts and 500mb data (not bothered about calls)

    I was thinking of upping the data to 1Gb @ £10 per month... but could get the same deal on giffgaff.. and they use 4G. Virgin are stuck on 3G and dispite monthly promises from year dot, show no sign of changing.

    I've always been happy with VM and the coverage via EE in my area is excellent. Just wish they had 4G.

    Giffgaff 3G can be slow if the area is busy, their 4G is very good and totally usable.

    Check the o2 or Giffgaff coverage map and see how much 4G coverage you have, if you do, give them a try.

    I am with orange and get magic numbers, they now call themselves EE, eitherway I have a SIM only £8 per month contract for which I get:-
    500 mins (but rarely use 250 mins)
    500 texts (but never use over 100)
    100MB of data, but have internet switched off as afraid to use and go over.

    Because of this, my smart phone is back in box and have gone back to my Samsung-C3350.

    If someone could suggest a SIM with more data and possibly less minutes, I would gladly reconsider.

    GiffGaff offer for £7.50 per month :
    • 250 UK minutes
    • Unlimited UK texts
    • 500 MB UK data
    • Free to other giffgaff numbers
    This is one of their "goodybags". You have to put £10 in to start with but will get £5 free added to your account. They have 4G. More minutes and data for a bit more money. Runs on o2 network.
