Hi All,

My OH is finally exiting her rubbish Virgin Media/8Gb iPhone 4 contract.

She now has a Moto X Play with huge amounts of storage which I bought for her and is looking for a SIM-only deal with plenty of data.

The Giff Gaff £20 Gigabag looks interesting - 6Gb of data at 4G then unlimited at 256kb/s. BUT as it's a piggy back carrier I'm not convinced that the data coverage is all that.

Any other suggestions for a similar package?

Are you a BT broadband customer? Their SIM only deals seem ok.
Nope, Virgin

GiffGaff Goodybags can be set up to auto-renew so its no faff at all.
Giff Gaff is easy - my son has it - but they are piggy backing on other networks and I find the data coverage a bit patchy compared to Vodaphone (which I have through my employer) and Virgin Mobile) which my wife has been using.

Hence looking for something as good value as Giff Gaff but with better data coverage.

Thanks for all the contributions.

Currently 3 is edging it for me - I have a new Galaxy 6 Edge+ and will do tons of data here (and on hols in France) but not many minutes so they can give me unlimited data + use in France + 200 mins on a 4G network for £20 month.

And Virgin have offered unlimited data + unlimited calls + unlimited texts on a 3G network for the same price, £20/month. Probably suits the OH better.
