I think I may venture over to Three for the first time.
£15 a month for 4gb, 600 mins and unlimited texts is good, but the free calls from abroad is the clincher for me.
Absolutely. Was happy paying a fiver a day for data use before but when we went to the states in March i was texted about theire ;home from home' set up. I had to ring them as i didn't believe data/calls/etc was treated as if you're at home!£15 a month for 4gb, 600 mins and unlimited texts is good, but the free calls from abroad is the clincher for me.
Also used it in France since, absolutely no issues with them.

I only need to go abroad once during the course and I think it would instantly make it the cheapest overall.Also used it in France since, absolutely no issues with them.
Anyone know if I can transfer my number to them onto a 30 day contract to test it out, then upgrade it to a full year?
I told Three I wanted to move from giffgaff/O2 to them and even though they had ended one particular offer, they agreed to let me sign up for it - 600mins, 2000 texts, PROPERLY unlimited data - £12.90/month for 12 month contact, SIM only.
I have shifted some bytes over the last 12 months plus, I tell thee (I make sure I do the big stuff overnight).
It's *very* highly unlikely I will ever go back to giffgaff cause of the ridiculous amount of problems they have.

My wife is on Giff Gaff and the coverage has been awful from day one, she never has any coverage!
My brother recently changed from Orange to 3 and hasn't looked back. I went to do the same thing myself but Orange turned my head back with a good offer. Of course, 6 months on I notice that I am paying through the nose for answerphone calls, my 3G signal is dropping out all the time - and let's not forget that 3 give you 4G for no extra charge.
When I get my act together I'll be going to 3 (after 18 years with Orange).

Please excuse my ignorance on such matters.....
I'm also just at the point whereby my O2 contract has reached the end and I'm considering a sim only deal.
With the likes of GiffGaff, as it 'piggy backs' the O2 network does this mean it offers the same reception / coverage / 3G in a given O2 area. Or does it not work like that? I have good O2 in my area, hence why I'm with them, but I don't want to go to GiffGaff and find it's poorer.

Yes, GiffGaff coverage is identical to O2
Thanks. As O2 is good where I live I like to think that I won't be reliant on customer services (online CS only for Giffgaff, no call centre etc) as I don't think I've ever needed them with O2. And O2 can't get close to Giffgaff prices for sim only with a decent data amount included. Gassing Station | Computers, Gadgets & Stuff | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
