nice1two said: there is a section on their website where you can sign up and they will send you a free micro sim for the iphone 4. The people who cut these sims are still only members of the giffgaff community (like myself). I was simply offering a direct route for PHers, along with being able to help people if they need/want it

I believe the free mobile internet was initially for everyone without needing any extra bundle/goodybag. That's coming to an end but still with most goodybags (from £10 up) get inclusive unlimited mobile data anyway.
Have got a PAC from O2 and should be moving over later in the week.

I've been with them since last year, apart from the occasions where the network has gone down I haven't had any issues. Can't argue with there value for money and its nice not to worry about getting a bill at the end of the month. The unlimited texts is a good perk, no limit to go over, used to get caught out with O2 but on GG can happily send as many as I want.

Soon be £15. To my surprise last month I used over 5Gb on my £10 deal, so I guess I'll be going with the £12. Wish they'd do ~10Gb capped for about £20/month with tethering.

I'm tempted to move to the £10 one with my iPhone 4 instead of getting a 5. Is it pain free to move from O2 contract to it? And if I want to move back to contract, is that easy? (Obv keeping my number).

(Obv keeping my number). I moved in March from o2 with my iPhone4. Got my PAC code from o2. Can't actually remember how I did it. I cut down a normal sim card that GiffGaff sent out to me though.

I cut down a normal sim card that GiffGaff sent out to me though. I moved in about June - totally painless, and by that time they'd managed to send out micro-SIMs so didn't need to cut it down to fit my iPhone 4. I guess anyone who wants to use Giffgaff on an iPhone 5 can expect to wait the best part of 2 years for them to start producing nano-SIMs judging by this timeframe  Was a bit surprised about the price of my £10 deal effectively going up 20%, but it's not going to break the bank. At least the price for going over 1GB in a month is only 2p/MB; that means a second gig will be an extra £20 but Tesco mobile charged me something like £7-8 a day (for not very much data in that period) when I exceeded my 1GB cap once.
