Hi I am living in the dark ages with my mobile phone. I hate the thought of having a contract no matter how good a deal it apparently is.
I need to upgrade my phone and undecided what to get but looking at Samsung Ace or even Blackberry Curve as I am not sure how well I will get on with touch screen. Am looking to spend around £100 and want to be able use this phone for internet as well - facebook, email and whatever else takes my fancy when away from home.
I like the look of GiffGaff Goody bags. Especially the £12 one with unlimited data as this will serve me well when we move house and are without internet for weeks on end and I will be away from home a fair bit later this year, so reckon I would make good use of this. Am I right in thinking this is an optional monthly charge?? Another words if I dont buy another goody bag when the old one expires - I can just top up any other way with GiffGaff ot am I committed to every month buying a goody bag say on the 1st of each month or when ever it runs out. Can I just buy the goody bags as and when I choose (I assume online) or do I need a Direct Debit??
What I dont want is any contract with the hassle/expense of mobile phone insurance. I like PAYG because there are no shock bills - am terrified that because I am so un IT savvy i will inadvertently download something/be online to something costing me £££ and not realise until the end of month bill arrives. If my phone gets stolen as PAYG - then yep its bummer but they can hardly call Australia in my name - or only upto the credit is gone. I just want to keep things simple. I want to continue to Pay up front and know there are no hidden costs and charges or bills.
Am so confused. I keep hearing good things about GiffGaff but am yet to actually meet anyone who uses them.
Advice, experience and tips gratefully received.
