Unlimited phone calls without a contract at giffgaff

When we're looking to choose a mobile phone provider, we obviously want all of the benefits we can get. Unlimited phone calls, texts and Internet access all seem like great options to have while on the go, but these things may often be hard to attain without having a long term contract.

For many of us, contracts are a large investment of money and quite a big commitment to the same phone plan for a long period of time. While these contracts will often save money from a month-to-month basis, they do not consider the fact that things may change within a person’s life that will make it more difficult to pay at certain times, or perhaps new opportunities will lead them away from the country in which their mobile contract is based.

For this reason, many people have chosen to go with a free SIM card pay as you go option. Here, you are required to top up your mobile phone when you run out of credit so that you can carry on making calls, texting and use the Internet.

While this option may seem convenient for those of us who like to have control over every last penny we spend on our phone bill, it can become quite expensive and rather inconvenient to constantly have to worry about whether or not you will have enough credit to get through a long call.

As with contracts being too, well, contractual, a new alternative that can make our mobile lives easier is fortunately now on the plate.

giffgaff is a new mobile phone network that operates on a SIM-only platform. Here, you can simply go to giffgaff.com and request your free SIM card before popping it into your phone and starting to save money.

giffgaff offers a variety bundle options which they call goodybags that will suit your needs month to month.

A £5 goodybag, you can use your mobile to send and receive unlimited text messages for an entire month. The £10 goodybag will give you access to 100 minutes to use between UK mobiles and landlines, as well as unlimited texts and Internet access.

For £15, you will get 300 minutes, unlimited texts and use of mobile Internet. And arguably the best deal of all, for £35 you will receive unlimited minutes, texts and unlimited mobile Internet access on your handset.

If you find a plan that works for you from month to month, you can use the auto top up option, but if your needs are likely to change, you can select what suits you best month by month. Overall, this is a great and convenient option that will be saving you a great deal of money and have you spending more time keeping in touch with family and friends.

With calls starting at 8p a minute and text messages fixed at 4p, too, added extra are only half the deal: giffgaff users benefit all round.
