Title: Mobile phone contracts
Post by: Steve Gunn on May 08, 2011, 02:16:17 pm
My contract was up and I wanted a iphone 4 they wanted £149 then £45 a month on orange sod that,3 seem to be the best at the moment £69 upfront for phone then £35 a month but reception is hit and miss up here.Was already paying £45 a month with orange.

Did a bit digging and found giff gaff runs on the back of O2 so now my old iphone is running on giff gaff £10 a month 250 minutes, unlimited texts,unlimited internet fantastic no contract that your tied into.Their goody bags are good value if you need more minutes.

Just a little sneaky one ;),you also get a link when you sign up to spread the word giff gaff to giff gaff calls are free too so the more friends you get on it the better,my employee is on it so when he rings in sick it doesn't cost him anything but a days wage ;D

only good if you've got a phone and don't want an upgrade. it's also not unlimited either but i'm sure people know that.

i'd imagine as long as you aren't already with o2 then you can, but even if you're currently with o2 then you can just port number to a new network provider e.g. orange on a free sim card which you can get in store or evne sent to you for free online, and then i think a few days later you can port it back to the next one. never done this so may have it slightly incorrect but it's definietly possible.

Orange doesn’t do anything for free there high street shops wanted £15quid for the wife’s apple brought unlocked i4 sim and it took 5 days to get the pac code.  now feeling guilty (The suicide rate among France Télécom's 102,000 domestic employees is 15.3 per year, compared with an average of 14.7 suicides per 100,000 in the French population as a whole) am still with orange waiting for the i5 then I will get the i4 reject with a free sim on Vodafone have yet to use any phone to it’s full potential   :( :( ;)

give them a call joe. o2 to o2 you can't keep number on a new contract/sim, only on upgrades, but as it's giffgaff then maybe you can idk. however as mentioned even a no doesn't mean you can't, it's just you have to port it to another netowrk, then back again
