Giff Gaff

Looking at leaving EE and moving over to this network. I know they are owned by O2 so shouldn't be any problems with signal etc.

Anybody had experience of having a mobile phone on this network, good or bad!?

Cheers

I've been with GG for a few years now, along with my wife, excellent and no issues, only costs me £10 for my Goodybag and I'm never off the phone or the net including using my phone as a GPS every day when on the road.

Good to hear! I went on Trust Pilot and there seemed to be a few negative reviews. But people only tend to give reviews when they are brassed off!

I was also looking at the £10 Goodybag along with a £19 a month payment for the IPhone 6...

Great news on the state of your marriage but how are you finding the phones?

I bought a secondhand iPhone 6s and cut my chip down myself.

I was with giff gaff for just under a year, and to be honest, the signal wasn't brilliant. I don't know how true, but i read that because it was with O2, they got o2 signal but only after the actual o2 customers got signal (or something like that).

It could well have been the area, I don't know, but when I moved to another provider, it got much better. GG was very cheap though!

If that is true, avoid central london like the plague, o2 is terrible there!!! zero data when showing 5 bars of 4G, calls drop.

This is true, to an extent. O2 customers always take priority over Giff Gaff customers (so GG is effectively living on O2's spare capacity). It was comments about the speed of their 4G network which dissuaded me and I actually ended up on 3 with a deal for £11 per month which beat GG's comparable offering.
