Heat from me.
One plan is £20 now.
Yes
Hot btw, and thanks.
Swings and roundabouts really. I've just switched from Tesco Mobile to Three, and while I'm pleased with the speeds I get outdoors, I tend to get a much poorer signal indoors everywhere I go. I barely get a signal at work with Three whereas I got a great signal with Tesco Mobile on O2's network.
That said, I live in Manchester and I get 46mb 4G download speeds with Three, so can't complain at that!
The best recommendation is to use a coverage checker, because you can never base signal issues on someone else's experience!
In all the years I've had mobiles/contracts, other than initial switch between providers or checking when contract up for renewal, I've never had to speak to their Customer Service
Insert SIM - Phone people - End X)
2000 minutes
5000 texts
All you can eat Internet
Free 4G when available
Usual allowance in several countries including the USA, Italy, Australia and Hong Kong (Handy for holidays).
Unlimited 3 to 3 minutes
This is however a pretty good deal.
Giffgaff also runs on the o2 network so reception is great. They will start 4G from next month.
Just ran a test 31.65 Mbps download speed and 21.58 Mbps upload with 51ms ping.
While this is true, repeating your phone and sim number to someone proclaiming to be called Stuart with a thick Indian accent is excruciatingly painful and infuriating.
Worth remembering (and this goes for most networks) if you call to make a change or something and the call centre says no eg changing the tariff down etc its worth giving the online chat a try as often you're dealing with a foreign operation and they don't seem to have the same level of jobsworths.
Me too. However for some people, they also want to be spoon-fed on how every feature or option works on their phone and then talked through it all verbally, or complain about why they have got a huge bill when they have used 5gb of data on a 1gb contract or why tethering is blocked on a non tethering contract etc etc. For these people its far easier and natural to pick up the phone and whinge at someone rather than use a bit of common sense and do either or all of the following
(a) Read your phones' instructions
(b) Google the problem to find one of 100's of forums about phones and android / windows where the problem has already been discussed and a resolution has been found.
(c) See if any network or service issue is national or on a large scale by reading user forums or places like Digital Spy
(d) Read your contact to see if you have exceeded any allowance or used any service which is chargeable or not included in your contract.
Doing these basic things will probably reduce the calls to call centres by a notable percentage. I suspect many questions are along the lines of "How do I turn 3G on" or "How do I update my phone software to use 4G" or "How do I record a voicemail greeting" and other basic stuff which a 10 second Google search will normally produce answers for. But if they want to sit in a call centre queue and waste twenty minutes of their lives then good luck to them.
Try talking to o2 when your local phone mast is down for 2 weeks. Useless. Three's customer service is in another country and I think they are actually better (everytime I've rang them anyway).
The closest to this is the Vigin VIP SIM with unlimited everything for £15 but not tethering.Oh and it is on a monthly contract not a 12-month one.
Just spoke to someone at Tesco too, and they said tethering is allowed but only on android phones. It is not allowed on iPhones.
Wasn't GiffGaff down for a week last year? I could never risk joining them if that's the case. Fine if it's a backup phone but I would rather spend slightly more and stick with the main Network provider. Also if O2 are busy then GiffGaff suffers as a result.
Im not sure I just joined Giffgaff a couple of weeks ago. So far no problems at all.
"Also if O2 are busy then GiffGaff suffers as a result." .... this would also apply to Tesco as they too run on the o2 network.
