ive poped it back in and forced 3g and it stays on albeit with one bar. i really wanna stay on this sim as it seems very good value. ill see how it goes.
Yeah. Had a PM from Cust.Serv. they said they'd try and sort it their end; sounded like a problem they were aware of, and asked for a screen shot of the error message. So I went back to grab a screen shot, and it worked
I suspect it's got something to do with my bank swapping out old Meastro Debit cards (with issue nos.) and re-issuing VISA Debit cards with date ranges; I've had a similar problem with flybe.com, but they just say keep trying evetually it'll work

GiffGaff seems very expensive to me. Its a sim only service, and comparing like for like, with my O2 simplicity deal, which Im paying
Yes and no.
Are you telling me you have no fup on data or texts? Are on net calls and texts free? How much are 0800 numbers? How much are calls outside the allowance? 25p - now, THAT'S expensive!
Sounds like you have a good setup for you, but it's horses for courses. I don't know of another network with truly ul data and texts, and so giffgaff is great for very high data users.
It's not very realistic to call them expensive though.
http://shop.o2.co.uk/tariffs/simplicity/1_month I can't find any mention of data here either. The bolt-ons are all call related. With giffgaff, all on-net calls and texts are free in any case.

Hi
Can www . giffgaff . com also provide contract phones

No, they are a PAYG network.
For many people, sticking with the phone you have, buying a good 2nd hand device, or just getting a new phone is cheaper in the long run.
Of course, it's not for everyone, and doesn't offer the same convenience of being able to walk into a phone shop, sign a contract and leave with a phone. It does offer much better value for money though - as many disgruntled Vodafone users may tell you!
There's many great options on the market, and giffgaff may not suit some people, but that's the beauty of choice!

I was comparing like for like, in terms of everything, minutes texts and calls. I may have been looking at this as why should I join as opposed to why should I stay.
The only real hurdle then I guess is number portability?
