Default giffgaff - any experiences?

I'm looking to buy a basic smartphone and move from O2 PAYG to the £10 goodybag on giffgaff.

Does anyone have any views on this network please?

TIA

They piggyback off the o2 network so whatever coverage you currently get will be the same. I spend £10 a month and that gets me 250 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited internet. I've used 3gig in a month and they have not said anything. That would have cost a bomb on orange.

Internet speed is not too shabby either

Got my partner to switch to them, but her blackberry is still not getting data nor MMS. It's been a PITA.

I have had this in the past with a blackberry and a far east network, it was the sim, swapped it for a new one and it worked fine, but no idea why tried manually putting all the settings in on the old sim and it would never work
