Anyone using the £20 SIM only deals with everything included?

Can you comment on how the network is please.



Thank you.
 
It was hit in miss in my area with frequent week long spells of 1 bar, fine at work in Edinburgh though. They use the O2 network if i remember right.

Good network coverage, always had a signal. Their 4g is toss though.

This. Only with them mostly for coverage/price reasons, but they probably have the slowest 3G/4G speeds out of everyone else. It's fast enough for my usage though.
 
I left (and that was a backup not main sim) due to incredibly slow data - they use O2's network but you'll get like 1/1000th of the speed someone on O2 will get in the same place.
 
Coverage is great with Giffgaff/O2, this is the main reason I am using them.. Data speed is shockingly slow for me, and always has been.. I am currently in the market for a new phone, and plan to move to another provider as part of the purchase, I've had it with GGs data speeds.
 
Their coverage is good but as said, data can be incredibly slow - it's fine for my use but if you are a heavy user I would suspect it will be an issue - at least you're only tied in for a month
 
Yeah basically the same as everyone else, great coverage/signal but terrible data speeds. I get the same speeds with 4G as 3G and both are very bad especially at peak times.

The only reason I'm still with them is because O2 give the best coverage for me and they are cheap!
 
I'm on them with all my family. As above, wish the data rate was faster, as other than that the service is fine.
 
I was on them about 2 years ago, but as others have said, the data speeds are rubbish. I switched to 3; £15 for 200mins, 200 texts and unlimited data. I use it mainly for the data. The data signal can be pretty spotty if you go indoors in certain places, but I think that may be more to do with the building structre.

I remember them having a few hours of downtime with GiffGaff, whereas I don't ever recall it on 3.

I was on the £20 and found it great, moved from 3 after coverage in my new house was terrible.

Everything is unlimited minutes, texts, 6G full speed data (which also allows tether) and then unlimited at a reduced rate.

Actually downsized to £15 bag as they tell you your usage every month and had suggested I downgrade to the £12 based on that usage.
 
Sorry but GG is just for chavs who use payday loans. That's the only reason they can get away with speeds as awful as they do because anywhere else they would fail a credit check.

I remember several years back they had some really bad reliability issues with it going down for a up to a day on a few occasions, but I can't remember any such issues in the last couple of years.
