Your giffgaff SIM card is pretty clever. Yes, it gives you free data until May and great quality calls and texts matching the UK’s lowest prices, but it’s also capable of a lot more too. If you’re anything like us and love to head off to the slopes for a bit of skiing action, there are some great apps that you can use with your giffgaff SIM card, to track your off-piste prowess.

One example is SportsDo (www.sportsdo.net), an app that you can download on to a compatible mobile that delivers real-time readings, such as speed and distance travelled during your time on the slopes. Back at the chalet, you can also transfer your stats to a PC and play out your route on Microsoft Virtual Earth. You can even broadcast your activities to the web portal, so that envious friends and family can see what you’ve been up to - can anyone say ‘après ski’?.

The app works on Window or Java-based handsets that either have built-in GPS, or can be combined with a small GPS device that you can connect via Bluetooth. You can use their free trial to make sure it works correctly with your setup.

Let us know of any other sporting apps for your mobile that you can recommend.
