Make an offer on films one day a week please so they are half price

I'm not sure how many unused minutes and data we have from goodybags each month but if people are like me there is usually 200 minutes and data left over.

I would imagine that it adds up to quite a lot.

 

Could we offer this unused minutes and data free to charities.

 

On the proviso they buy a phone from us and keep at least £10 in top up.

 

Benefits would be more phone sales and members would be happy to see their unused minutes going to good causes so might be happy taking a higher priced goodybag.

 

Would be very good PR as well.

Obviously depends on how many unused minutes and data we have each month.

 

giffgaff introduced the current version of the Welcome Pack in August which is posted out to new members and arrives within a week of joining. However the current pack costs money to print and send while often causing confusion from new members who post on the forum asking why they have received it. Additionally, the pack is not necessarily correct because it is printed on the day of activation and doesn't take into account things like a subsequent number port in.

 

giffgaff recently announced cost saving initiative of reducing SIM limits to reduce sim waste and in line with that @oldyorkie posted an idea to stop sending cheeky SIMs which has been well supported, especially by newcommers who receive the cheeky SIM as part of the Welcome Pack.

 

I believe giffgaff could save money and confusion by:

 

emailing the Welcome Pack to new members as standard.

 

Members could then choose to print it out at home if they wished. As an online only company this would not be out of line with the way giffgaff works and would fit in well with waste reduction.

 

Advantages

- saves money in printing and postage

- pack doesn't need to be printed on the day of joining so can be produced with up to date information

- removes any confusion from new members about what to do with the pack

- reduces waste from members simply binning the paper pack

- potentially more suitable for some visually impaired members who can use screen readers on an electronic version

- looking forward - povides a way of sending the Welcome Infomation in the event cheeky SIMs are discontinued without redesigning the paper pack

 

I started a thread in Contribute to get some feedback and the feeling there was that keeping the current paper version as optional would benefit some members over an electronic version but only if a member requested the paper version.

Just had an idea...

Have the option of sending a giffgaff simcard to someone dressed up as a card for an event...

Like xmas, Valentines, Easter and Birthday cards

 

The recipient gets a sim card decorated in with father xmas and snow for example

Would put a smile on peoples faces if nothing else

 

For the birthday one... I think that would be a nice touch - would be great if it were possible to add a personal message

 

One day the world will appreciate my genius

Sigh... until that day comes....

What about converting our gg payback into currency like bitcoin.

 

Leave our payback with gg, like a deposit to earn interest

 

Use payback to purchase phones and other hardware, and a section to  with other stuff to buy, all with big discounts, obviously.

 

Open a gambling section just to use payback, with high odds of winning

 

EDIT:

Please ignore all but the top 2 lines

Now that Giff Gaff sell phones how about some form of discount for addresses that buy more than one phone on giff gaff? I know we already have free calls but just thought some additional discount on either purchase or monthly goodybags dependant on the number of phones linked.

 

Similar to those offered by car insurers?

 

Be gentle this is my first post 

Just been browsing the phones section, in particular Samsung.

 

Samsung models have various versions of the same thing, dual SIM etc.

When looking for a prices and comparing elsewhere this could be confusing for some.

 

So why not add detail to the phone name, for example:

 

• GT-I9500 Samsung Galaxy S4
• GT-I9300 Samsung Galaxy S3
• GT-S6310 Samsung Galaxy Young

The Galaxy Young is particularly confusing as there's also the Galaxy Y (Young) and searching for this one brought up a list of of various phones.

 

Also note an incorrect model is shown on the Galaxy Young page at the bottom.

The images are of the GT-S6312 DUOS (dual SIM version), this is clearly visible if you look carefully.

 

Thank you  ..

I have been on giffgaff for around a year now and i think its a great network however wouldn't it be great if giffgaff was a bit like all the other networks and if it had broadband deals as well? Because if giffgaff could manage to get broadband deals at competitive prices it will deffinately become even more successful and popular as people tend to get phone deals on the same network as their boradband. Anyone agree? What do you think?

Dear Giff Gaff...

 

With the venture of selling phones now up and running. (I wish you all the very best with it)

 

Would GiffGaff consider the introduction of supplying dongles.....   I for one would be very interested in this .....

 

I am with 3 at the minute, and to be honest where I am located the signal is pants and very frustrating to use, and frankly its also expensive...

 

Maybe if you went down this route, you could introduce a more selective data usage and pricing, ie like the goodybags, ..more packages I mean.

 

I hope you will take this into consideration and I look forward to any replys.

 

Cheers

It would be interesting to know what percentage of SIM's actually become activated. It's quite likely there are many thousands sitting in cupboards and drawers everywhere, what a waste.

 

Perhaps an option to return unused SIM's to giffgaff ( free of course ) might save waste, the environment and also some money? Perhaps they're so cheep it doesn't matter?

 

The "Cheeky SIM" might, for some, go straight in the bin! Perhaps an option to return it, if unwanted, free of charge to save the planet could be interesting. Giving an impression, from giffgafff, that they really do care about waste.

 

I could go on but I think you get the general idea

 

Perhaps this has been suggested before? If it has, I can't find it.

 

 

Forgive me if this idea had already been posted but I think that creating a £5 unlimited data goodybag for mobile phones would be a great idea. Other networks such t-mobile seem to offer it and it's a good seller as far as I can tell. Coupled with the fact that we giffgaffers get free minutes and texts to communicate with our fellow giffgaffers, I think the introduction of this goodybag could steal a few customers away from t-mobile which could help our community to grow . Let me know what you guy think?

Hello just had a great idea which could help massively boost our community and make us even more competitive. As you all may of heard of orange have been doing a thing called orange Wednesday where customers get 2 for 1 on cinema tickets, because of this many people I know have joined them purely just for the offer. But what I thought was why not make "Giffgaff Saturdays" as Saturday is a very popular and enjoyed day and some how start giving half price Hollywood Bowling games or something of a popular activity? Any ideas? Anyone else think it would be a good idea? Share below

I was thinking because we at giffgaff are a great big community helping each other out why couldn't we help each other out even more and boost our community even further by making a VIP section similar to the virgin one where all giffgaff customers logged on their account see the phone shop on the website as the "VIP shop" with exclusive offers and cheaper contracts and phone prices?

I've seen quite alot of questions recently on the new phones being shown, some are dissapointed on the fact that there phone isn't available. Therefore, how about there is place where we can vote on the phones we want to be available, just helps in a bit of Market Reasearch and targets us users favorable phones. 

 

 

Hi, I'm a long time user but first time suggesting an idea for GiffGaff, but I think this'll really help the network out;

 

I think what lacks from GiffGaff is the advertisement, particularly locally. Sure, it's been featured on The Big Bang Theory, but I feel there is a real need - especially where I live - for more people to hear about GiffGaff. This is why I believe that what GiffGaff could really benefit from is shop endorsement.

 

Other competitors, such as LycaMobile, make so much money solely off advertising in local businesses. GiffGaff could pay local businesses registered on a newly created database for whenever they put a poster up (1 hit would mean 1 person scanning a QR code), offer SIM cards in-store (for free), or giving out flyers (same with the QR code system). As well as this, whenever someone tops their GiffGaff phone up in store, it gives the customer and local business, let's say £2 each. It helps local businesses make revenue and significantly helps GiffGaff attract attention. It's all about sharing, like GiffGaff is!

 

Now, the credit GiffGaff offers these businesses is debatable. It could be the payback point system that users are offered, or it could just be a cash transfer. Either way, I think this could really change GiffGaff and open up a lot more doors for the company.

 

Thanks!
