AIBU to be too scared to leave 02 and go to giffgaff

[Longstocking2]

I hate the faff of having no phone as you swap over and all the hassle but I want to leave 02 on principle, I can't forgive them for a contract I got burnt on! (Probably my fault though)

maybe ask a grownup to help you?

Giffgaff are great. You don't get locked in, and have a really good really good monthly prices.

Why it is a faff having no phone? You mean you've always had a phone included on a contract?

GiffGaff use the O2 network so you'll have no reception problems,and you can arrange a transfer of number quite easily. You shouldn't be without a phone for more than a few hours.

No I just need to get a new handset too and want to go contract free if I can. I love my old iPhone 4 but I need an upgrade I think so am looking at second hand iPhone 5s.
Thanks for the advice.

Hang on another month til the iPhone 5SE comes out. You should then be able to get a brand new 5S for much less then.

YABU, both because you should definitely switch to GiffGaff asap and because you think you "need an upgrade" on your phone.

how old are you? -ask your parents to do it for you

Wtf? You've got some really twatty responses to a simple question OP

Take Cerseirys advice and ignore the arseholes.

You'll save loads by switching to giffgaff - I did the same after O2 pissed me off. Very satisfying.

I switched to GiffGaff and if anybody wants a code I can give you one which will give you & me a £5 credit. Each time I make a call it tells me how many minutes I've got left. This means I know I can have a cheaper package ('goody bag' in GiffGaff language) next month.
