I migrated my 2 O2 ones to GiffGaff, and took out another for the car.  Mainly because O2 were too dear...

Giffgaff?
« Reply #18 on: 31 January 2012, 15:29:27 »

Currently with three and contract due to run out. I have recently updated my smartphone, so don't need a 2 yr contract or anything of that sort. Having done a bit of research with Dr Google and Prof Wiki, it would seem giffgaff is an alternative. However there seems to be a lot of dissent amongst the ranks along with increasing popularity and thereby problems.

The other thing is that i would like at least 1500mins and when you compare the giffgaff sim with a three sim only plan, they are both £25 and the three sim gives you a 500 mins more. Plus you have someone at the end of a tel no to call if things go tits up. So far three has been impressive in terms of coverage, connectivity, download speeds and service. Giffgaff is an unknown and seems less value for money at my talktime price point.

My friends however swear by the gaff and want me to switch. I am less sure. I remember reading someone on here has used gg? Any opinions?

When you say you need 1500mins, how many of them are Mobile / Land Line Calls, may be a better and cheaper to get a tariff say 500 Mob mins and 1000 L/L mins, some tariffs through in L/L for free or a small fee per month.

I would say predominantly mobile (70%) and the rest landlines I guess. Unlimited internet is a must as well, cant be bothered with stupid top ups for the net. Texts I don't really care about.

The only people that give true unlimited internet (as in they wont charge more if you do over) is T Mobile, believe Giff have gone to fair use policy now, could be wrong on the last bit.

So reasonably good experience, but as it is I cant see the benefit of switching to a provider with fewer minutes for the same price. Or am I missing a trick here? I do note that the lower tariffs are better than the corresponding ones that three offer.

With regards to support I would rather have someone that I can shout at if something goes wrong, rather than posting on a forum.

I am okay with the fair use policy.
