Smarty vs giffgaff

grahamhuxley1970

Hi , smarty are offering a sim deal at £10 a month with 30MB of data. Do you think giffgaff will do the same deal soon? The dilemma is do I wait or should I change to smarty? Is there a reason to stay?

Hi @grahamhuxley1970 giffgaff continues to review their packages looking at other networks to try and stay competitive but as to when they will do this, no one knows.

If you’ve seen a deal out there that suits you better, go for it. Don’t hold your breath on giffgaff changing theirs to suit you as we don’t know. When you move still keep your eye on giffgaff announcement pages and as soon as new bundles are announced and they suit you, to ask for your Port Authorisation Code and port back. giffgaff will happily receive you back.

Shop around.

grahamhuxley1970 I've got that £10 Smarty SIM in a mifi. Works great for me but it doesn't really leave the house, so, I don't know how good the signal is when you're out and about.

grahamhuxley1970 Hi there. Since giffgaff have only very recently reviewed most of their goodybags it's unlikekly they would make such a change to the£10 goodybag atthis stage, so you'd probably have to wait long enough to see any increase in the data for that one. also, you'll see that the £12, £15 give 10 and 15gb respectively , so they would have to be boosted too if the £10 one increased its data allowance.

The choice is yours. It's difficult to decide as I don't know what they are like.
Remember you can always come back to giffgaff if you're not happy.
Cheers

grahamhuxley1970 pray that you get no mast problems

Smarty are good if you get a good signal with them.

grahamhuxley1970 personally j won’t be changing. The giffgaff packages provide adequate data for me. Also I get signal on giffgaff. Can’t get w signal on most other networks. B

grahamhuxley1970 I say stick with it

you can always switch to Smarty and if you don't like it you can always come back to giffgaff.

best way to feedback to giffgaff is to vote with your feet. the more people leave giffgaff for better deals elsewhere, the more giffgaff are likely to keep their offer competitive

hope this helps?

I used to use smarty for data but the only issue is was not able to have WiFi calling or volte calling if I did get access to that would have stayed with them as they are cheaper than three.
But needed 4g calling and access to WiFi calling so had to leave them and join three for these extra features.

grahamhuxley1970 that’sa really good deal and one not to be missed out on. giffgaff must become more competitive

woolcos

grahamhuxley1970 my husband left and went to Smarty and is regretting it. Days of no service. He's going mad - serves him right, shouldn't have left! 😂😂😂

darren1900

grahamhuxley1970 that's a really good deal

karavanker

grahamhuxley1970 hello I I same issue dilemma so I do both o use both in 2 phones jury’s out so far who is best..soz can’t say just now

varun1234

grahamhuxley1970 what I do is keep giffgaff as a backup sim and use other networks that are cheaper im on voxi atm as it works for me £15 20gb plus unlimited social media no contract. I never actually leave giffgaff due to the payback and it works out pretty well

ashleybristoluk

hi i just check the network i think that is a good deal not really sure if giffgaff will offer it 30GB £10 is a good deal tho

mariela_0001

It is a good deal if you can live with Three’s poor indoor signal.Outdoors they are fine in my opinion.

davidvarley

mariela_0001
Yeah 3 should have kept there 2g signal as a back up for indoor coverage so you could at least make and receive calls.

Given the recent changes to goody bags, I think it unlikely that giffgaff will change their offerings in the next couple of months.
If price is your overriding concern, then go ahead and switch, but be aware that Smarty run on 3 and giffgaff on O2, so you may find coverage and customer service aren't as good.

if you need that much Data YOU have no choice Go for it, while it's on offer,
That's my opinion

I have just moved back from Three to giffgaff as my main provider.Three was great to start, but then they had a mast problem locally for the past 6 months. I was lucky, I complained and they allowed me to leave my 24 month contract with them at no cost. I can only guess it would have cost a lot more to fix the problem, so let me go. Smarty is Three network too, so be aware, their coverage is variable around the UK and I found in large build up areas (like cities) it was very poor

just a couple of questions, does the smarty one have free smarty to smarty calls and does smarty have the payback and super recruiter rewards on offer like giffgaff?
