I only realised recently how good giffgaff's deals are. Their top package is £20 a month for unlimited everything (yes, even unlimited data, though speed is restricted after 6GB). On top of all that, you're using one of the top networks in the country (giffgaff runs on the O2 network) and all of their plans appear to be 1 month rolling contracts, so it's easy to cancel/switch plans. Wish I'd looked into them sooner. https://www.giffgaff.com/sim-only-plans https://www.giffgaff.com/sim-only-plans

Three used to be better if you did any travelling, but they’ve basically doubled their prices recently. Might investigate GiffGaff again.

  I love giffgaff even when travelling - 4p/min calls, not sure what data costs, but it's comin down a lot in recent months.

    I go to Denmark and Sweden a lot: with Three I get unlimited 3G same as on my UK contract.

    Data prices in Europe are ok but in the US its £5 a megabyte!

iD-Mobile (operate on Three’s network) have some pretty good prices for data users (1GB: £5.00, 2GB: £7.50; 4GB: £10.00). All 1 month contracts. I switched to their 2GB plan after Three announced their price increases. https://www.idmobile.co.uk/shop/plans/sim-only https://www.idmobile.co.uk/shop/plans/sim-only

Giffgaff basically is O2. It's their budget (student?) brand. (The registered address of both companies is the same, if you'd like a quick verification of this.)

  Yes that's right. They cut costs compared to the main O2 deals by moves like not having the same type of dedicated customer service (you get support through their forums). http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/telecoms/11630738/Giffgaff-the-bonkers-mobile-network-proves-that-the-crowd-can-run-your-business-for-you.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnol...
