Am going to order a sim and use it as a spare number in my spare phone. I like the fact that the price of calls so cheap plus 0800 numbers free of charge to call from the mobile. Also international calls are cheap. Plus u can earn money too by recommending the service plus helping out on the website and answering questions. It's a really cool idea it's different but I like it from what I am seeing.

And being O2 I bet you still don't get delivery reports without adding *0# at the start of each message.

Also you can't get a sim without a top up prior to them sending it out.

They are asking the users to let them know what to charge, at least that is what they are saying on the site.

that is understandble. but at the end of the day, its still free. plus the idea of them wanting us to say how much we want to pay for the internet, seems good too. so this network seems to be a people kinda network really, where we can put our own idea's to the network in what we want, and the rates for calling are well cheap.

just an observation. sum1 said they use the o2 network. and vid call wont work with o2 payngo. yet on the site it states free vid calling between giffgaff users. so does that mean theyre using the contract signal?

Video calling not allowed on O2 pay and go? Thats poor. Not that many people use it but why does O2 treat its pre pay customers like rubbish giving second rate services

Include no streaming. 10minute download cut off. And half the speed. And youl realise how crap the payngo service is compared too contract. Sumthing to do proxies i think

Yeh just as i suspectd. Vid call and streaming works. And 3g speed is faster and more reliable. Meaning theyre using o2 contract signal rather than payngo

I just read everything on that site. Sounds great though very cheap. How do you pronounce it? Is it GiffGaff or JiffJaff? With all that 6 month free internet their offering its going to cripple the O2 network even more

I ordered the sim at like 3pm got it the following day. Even though I get loads of mins and texts. I am going to be using this sim as a spare sim for 0800 calls etc. Plus u only really need to keep it topped up every 3 month and that's £10 minimum. Which is not bad.
