giffgaff - new MVNO coming up in the UK

[andy]

Well, it looks sort of interesting ...

on top of the free data for 6 months as already mentioned (which specifies phone use, so I imagine they might not like seeing it in a dongle) ...

free calls to other giffgaff users

8p a minute calls, 4p texts, much as expected I think I'd say, when compared with Asda and Family Mobile

They've made some effort on international rates, though don't compete with the specialist mvno brands - EU, Australia, New Zealand India and Pakistan are 8p landlines, 16p mobiles, USA & Canada 8p both, texts to all these 8p. Other int'l calls aren't competitive at £1.

roaming at Eurotariff, £1 a minute elsewhere

interesting bits - freephone calls are free, which is very uncommon here; the only other I know is BT Mobile, which is no longer available on prepaid (I have an old one)

they support call forwarding, which I believe only Family Mobile also does, but I'll have to wait until the SIM arrives to test if that will include international
