My brother used to use giff gaff for the unlimited internet (10/month). I think there is a FUP though. The sim worked fine, no problems. I say if you like the prices go for it.

In fact I've just ordered a sim and will use it once I spent my last £10 on orange payg (topped up yesterday lol)

If you aren't sure about giff gaff check out the forums. If you get your sim from there I think you get a free £5 credit too.

Nope, it's not to good be true, it is true. Hope you all used my link

GIF GAF say they won't let you use your phone as an internet thingey for your computer if it matters

 

[kurosagi01]

talking about phone in deals someone i know tried to cancel his sky multi-room subscription and get movies instead and sky just halfed the price of his tariff

 

[MightyMission]

Result!

 

[cheesy999]

Result!

then again i know someone else who got around £7 of his mobile tariff by complaining, so i'd say if you have the chance phone in and moan at them,

 

[MightyMission]

absolutely,i done it with my 3 "unlimited internet" i bitched and moaned and got it really unlimited
their version of unlimited was half gig a month,i told them thats not unlimited,its fair use-which i wasnt warned about on purchase...
its still crap but its actually better than my sky internet right now!

i have a 'fair use' on my t-mobile contract but i got it back in 2010 when the fair use was still 1gb so i have no problems with my phone, although if i did reach the top of 1gb i don't see what they'd actually do about it.

I was going to thank your post:

I don't see what all this Android fuss is about! Call me old fashioned, I use my phone to call and text

But then:

if I wanna access anything online I use my IPad 2

Just kidding, you got yer thanks lol


Oh man it's done it again! That was like 2 pages ago! Damn googlemail...

 

[cheesy999]

i get t worse then you as i get my TPU emails through a non google account on google, takes about an hour minimum

 

[MightyMission]

i disabled any notifications as i spend far too much time here anyway

 

[Tatty_Two]

EDIT: I dont see what all the fuss is says the IPAD 2 owner! LOL ironic or what?

This IPAD 2 owner, streams Powerpoint presentations across Europe in real time whilst teleconferencing from the same device, thats the reason I bought one, simply because it does things an android phone cannot do, yes I could have bought a lappy instead but whats the point..... I have a work quadcore HP Elitebook lappy, why would I want 2 lol Ohhh and because I work for a charity Apple gives me 30% off also which helps

What do you need to do that involves streaming a power-point whilst teleconferencing? and why do you think freedom will need to do that?

And coudn't you do the same on a netbook much cheaper?

Possibly cheaper on a netbook but they just dont compete in the streaming media field, I only have a 16GB IPAD 2 and with the 30% off I paid just £319, I have tried using the very good works lappy and it's fine but I do find that the IPAD is a bit smoother and of course there are other toys I can play with that add value.....

I sometimes have weekly video/teleconferencing meetings with partner charities in Italy, France and Germany, I say sometimes because the Regional Director is supposed to do them but she hates technology so tries to get me to do them all the time, more often than not I am out of the office on the road. I don't think Freedom will need to do that, my origional point was that I don't personally like Android phones, if I want the multimeadia stuff i simply prefer a bigger screen, I am lazy, I don't like all the scrolling lol.

wait a second, if charities are supposed to be non-profit why do you drive a jag?

£319 is good though, i'd probably buy one at that price but it'll never happen due to the level of price fixing that seams to go on with apple products.

Lol, he bought that with his own hard earned money (and probably shooting a few people in the way in your behalf). Now retired and helping charities.

he's retired?

that makes him 861 in TPU years, considering most of us are under/around 20

Lol what's what I drive got to do with it, it's not a company car we have to use our own for business, we still get paid (I am not a volunteer but an employee) plus I get an MOD pension that was paid the day I left the Army, non of this waiting till I am 65 malarkey.

I suppose you could see the IPAD as extravagant, but like I said, for £319 when I already have a works lappy and the wife has a netbook was a treat, it's just a treat I use, if we all went for the cheapest all the time then we wouldn'y have been having the discussion earlier about the range of Android phones and probably in some cases the significant difference in prices between them.

Edit: Not retired, retired from the Army yes after 28 years, but still working hard, and I am 51 on Tuesday

You get paid a pension as soon as you leave the army!!!, are there any non combat jobs that pay well?

i'm thinking a military job that doesn't require me leaving the country

 

[Spectrum]

well we're withdrawing from afghanistan now so you wouldn't unless of course gadaffi pisses us off and we invade

You can always clean toilets in MoD HQ

There are plenty of "office work" in the army, or if you are a bit smart you can go for weapons development with BAE or something.

what about vehicle maintenance... IE repair broken jets and tanks and shit?
they ship em back to UK, you fix em, they fuck off back to the wars that we're always in for some reason
