sitting on EE4G, don't ever want to be without it
I wish I had gone the giffgaff route, Vodafone can cost a bloody fortune! 250mb data for a fiver, say what!
Anyone on ovivo (Vodafone network)
You buy a SIM for 15 quid and you get 150 any network minutes,150 texts and 500 MB of data a month free and you still have 15 quid you originally paid for if you go over. Oh and you get unlimited ovivo to ovivo calls and texts.
I am on giffgaff now and just very slowly running it down before I well switch.

Yes, you pay 15 quid and you don't ever have to pay more if you stay under you free usage. I do wonder how do they stay in business but they have been going for at least a year or two now. I feel I might as well switch and even if it lasts only a few months I would have lost nothing. The only worry is transferring your number and losing it if they go under.
might even be 250 texts now. Which it is as I have just checked.

Surprisingly I haven't seen much talk about ovivo (Vodafone network) on hexus so here is the deal.
You buy a 15 quid SIM and then you get 150 any network calls, 250 any network texts and 500MB of data free EVERY month. Plus unlimited ovivo to ovivo calls and texts. Only if you go over the free allowance well you credit go down, and yes you get the 15 you paid for the SIM as credit.
It seems to good to be true to me but it has been going for like a year or two now. I am not on ovivo yet so I can't say what's its like.

In my experience, Ovivo has abysmal data speeds. The signal for calls isn't great either. I know Giffgaff got a bit of stick for that last year, but I find my ovivo SIM only really useful in the city.
Being a virtual provider on Voda (or anyone else) doesn't mean you get the same call quality / data rates by the way. It simply means it piggy-backs on their frequency's and uses Vodafones infrastructure.
That to one side though, it's paid for by advertising.
If this is acceptable to you depends on your POV. But for the cost of GiffGaff, I've no plans to have it as nothing more than a backup sim for data when away.When you sign-up for our service, you give OVIVO permission to use your data for marketing purposes.

Assuming you can use the £15 with PSN to do a mobile topup I had been considering one of these to use as a data sim for my Vita.
I'd heard that performance wasn't amazing but considering the price it's a good deal.
Hmmm might pick one up for a backup SIM if that credit never expires. Can sit in the bottom of my bag with all my other bits and bobs for a 'oh s**t' if I forget to topup my giffgaff goodybag![]()

My broadband speed - 750 Meganibbles/minute
Cash machine suits me for Virgin PAYG at the mo (though probably will change in Sept when the free data package expires)
I'm on O2 PAYG, and have been for years. I don't want a fixed contract. I don't need a fixed contract.
I top up £10 over the phone (very easy and has never failed) - that gives me 500MB data and 300 texts for a month (I don't make many mobile calls. When it expires, I run down the credit balance which lasts almost another month; then I top up and start again. It works out at around £5 or £6 per month.
