Thinking of going over to these and wondered if anyone has done the same and is happy with them.
Only a low user myself so am looking at a £12 a month sim only deal, would appreciate knowing how your getting on with them.

I use giffgaff and for the most part represent good value, with the goodybags! However the data doesn't seem to be the fastest though but as they are run by/piggy back onto O2's network you can usually get a decent signal.

Roaming charges are a joke though, i'm currently away for work in the States and data is 5GBP/MB which is rather outrageous.

I may move across to 3 soon, make of that what you will.

I have no complaints after being with them for 3 years or so.

Data signal sometimes ste, but I mostly only use data over Wi-Fi, so it bothers me little.

Phone service / signal equal to O2, which they piggyback as mentioned by previous poster.

The goodybags are great value.

I had it for a couple of years on 2 phones. Had a few outages and as mentioned data speeds were not the greatest. Once the unlimited plans increased in price last year I moved to 3. The signal has been surprisingly good, cost is not much more and I haven't had any outages.

I spend my breaks at work surfing the net,or trying to.the data is very slow there.other networks are faster.
Not a problem in most other locations,just at work.it just means I struggle to get things done during the day

only complaint is the 4G is quite slow. I'm moving away from them to try and get faster 4G

Think its a £10 per month goody bag we have, set to top up an additional £10 as and when account credit balance drops below £5. Had absolutely no problems for the 2 years or we have been with them.

I've got the £10 goodybag. Not problems with giff gaff, just O2's crappy coverage in some of the places where I'd like to have good coverage. Also, when the coverage is on 'E' nothing loads at all - apps think you have no connection. Again, I believe this is an O2 thing. I tolerate it because I'm peasant and I can only afford £10/month.

Why would anyone pay £10/month for only 500 mins and a gig of data when for a quid less you can have unlimited mins and 4x as much data + unlimited texts?

Just one example out of hundreds to be found on the various comparison sites : Clicky. (other networks available)

Those not familiar with GiffGaff should be aware that the O2 network goes down for 24 hrs approximately every month, because reasons.

I've been with giffgaff 3 years and O2 for 4 years before that and have experienced network loss only twice.
