As Pete says, have a look at the two gigabags at the bottom of https://www.giffgaff.com/sim-only-plans

£5 gives you 500gb for a month; £7.50 gets you 1gb for a month; you can set them to auto renew each month, or you can top up as and when you want. I love the flexibility (& prices) of GiffGaff - it is just a shame the name (& bag names) are so naff

Thanks for using the link

From what I understand the GiffGaff data only sim is Ok in the UK but it doesn't work whilst abroad.

Hi CP - I see you're a fan of Giff Gaff... I'm thinking of moving to a SIM only deal and either buying my iPhones outright, or taking advantage of the new Apple Upgrade Program.

Do you use Giff Gaff for your phone, as opposed to just for data deals (iPads etc)? Given your praise below, presumably you've not had any issues? Their apparent lack of visual voicemail is a bit of annoyance but otherwise they're ticking all the boxes I want.

Anyone (including me ) can "introduce" you; IIRC both parties benefit with a £5-£10 voucher. See https://www.giffgaff.com/orders/affiliate/relbhcbj

FWIW I find GiffGaff fantastic - very cheap and a very good service. AIUI it piggy backs on the O2 network

[Colonel Panic]

Hi TKF, yes I have moved all of my close & extended family over to GiffGaff - all 11 users! We all buy our phones outright, and enjoy the knowledge that we _could_ switch provider at any time. But in reality we have all been sufficiently happy with the GiffGaff product & service that none of us have changed.

I initially missed Visual Voicemail having previously been with O2, but TBH I had forgotten that it even existed until you reminded me. It has become a non-issue. I would like access to wi-fi calling (as EE do, and possibly others), but GiffGaff don't offer it.

One can set one's account to recur every month (like wot I do), & auto top up if it falls below a certain credit amount (I don't do this). If you go abroad you will need to load some credit as foreign calls / roaming come out of credit, not a prepaid GoodyBag / GigaBag. I suppose one could call this a PITA, but in reality it has proved to be a non-issue for me and it is very easy to manage your account online. I normally leave a few pounds worth of credit on my account, and only top it up if going abroad; what isn't used during the trip then gets swapped over to a GxxxBag come next month's renewal.

GiffGaff have no telephone support staff whatsoever (other than if you have a financial problem), but their forums etc are excellent and the "community" always help you.

If you want to give them a try, feel free to use this link and will both benefit

Ha, that one was used happily for many years but then that GG a/c went dormant. The good Colonel got the tenner referral this time
