If you were expecting a special deal, that's not what giffgaff do.
camerart Hi there yes they done it a little while ago ! Sorry your leaving ! All the best n take care !
giffgaff only increased the basic PAYG rates. Although those increases were quite substantial they only affect members who do not buy goodybags.
camerart unfortunately that is true. If you are looking for cheaper PAYG you may find some of the information here useful, https://community.giffgaff.com/d/33065250-giffgaff-to-increase-payg-rates-from-26th-february-2020-alternatives-available
camerart sorry to see you go.
camerart You are correct - the Pay As You Go increase percentage is very noticeable but it really affects very few people.
Those who buy goodybags aren't much affected by any recent increases.
Very low users such as myself who use the phone infrequently are theoretically hit by the % increase but because of my low spend it does not amount to much actual money so I'm not seriously affected. So that leaves a few who were spending say £3-5 pounds per month who are now paying much more if they have remained PAYG - but they should probably all be on the £6 goodybag now.

the prices were updated a while ago now
feel free to move to another provider if you are getting a better deal.
camerart the paygo prices have. goodybags have much more value for money
camerart Hi, Sorry you’ve decided to go but understandable. Although giffgaff’s PAYG prices are now relatively very high, their goodybags are still excellent value. Good luck with your new network. 🙂
The PAYG prices only affect some people, I don't send pic messages, if I need to send someone a pic it's by Facebook or WhatsApp, those are free. I buy the £12 goodybag because its unlimited texts and minutes plus a huge 10gb of data, not forgetting the extra 1gb free. I've only bought a top up once but that was because I was in hospital and had used up all my data (was on a low goodybag at the time)
Hi, I'm a low PAYG user, and used to spend £10/month or less, but sometimes, as now, I've upped it a bit, so this week, I've spent £25. I'll check lucky bags and Tesco as suggested, Thanks. C.
camerart for a low user 1pMobile is great value for money, minutes/texts/mb data are all 1p each. The only requirement is that you must top up a minimum of £10 every 120 days, which works out at £2.50 per month. I use them myself. Works on EE's network so check your phone is unlocked/SIM free.
camerart good luck with the new network
camerart this week, I've spent £25.
That's not a typical "low PAYG user" scenario. A goodybag will almost certainly be much better for you.
£25 in a week at the PAYG rate of 5p/MB represents 500MB of data so you're probably using 2GB in a month. A £10 goodybag would have given you 6GB -- plenty of spare margin to ensure you don't run out of data.
Hint: Always buy goodybags at https://www.giffgaff.com/buy/goodybag (or if you're buying from a voucher,you can dial 43430 and choose option 2 not option 1). Never, ever, try to do it at https://www.giffgaff.com/top-up -- that does not automatically buy you a goodybag.
Come back and buy a goody bag! It’s the best way to get value out of giffgaff!
If you're spending £10/month on PAYG then you'll almost certainly save money by getting a goodybag instead. If, however, you would still like to leave then that's your choice.
Sad to see you go, maybe consider buying a goodybag? They aren't too expensive and they all offer unlimited minutes and texts
