Data is a bit shite now; can't fault them otherwise.
I suspect Three would be a better choice tbh.

I'm with 3.
3p per minute.
2p per text.
1p per MB.
Credit never expires like it does with some providers.
Depends on how much you use your phone as to whether it's worth going with a provider who gives good bolt on deals. For just straight up PAYG then you can't beat 3's rates.

Data on GiffGaff is now generally pretty slow, even in the middle of a city (ie - London); so if it's important then head to someone else.

4G is suppose (i don't have a 4G phone to test) to be a bit hit or miss, read the forums, but generally it's a fair amount slower than other networks; 3G is pants though, noticeable when comparing it with an O2 sim (GiffGaff is a MVNO of O2) in the same location, and typically i see 0.1-0.3Mb/s.
GG works for me (usually near a WiFi connection for any 'heavy lifting', otherwise GG's 3G works fine for essentials like emails) and the prices are pretty reasonable.

This will have all the info you need and the best deals currently available for SIM only. Got a bit on there about PAYG too.

Decent site although i'm surprised they haven't updated it with the BT Mobile (EE MVNO) Sim-Only deals, ie - Unlimited Texts/Mins + 20GB 4G data for £20 (if you're a BT customer, otherwise £25) pm.
