GiffGaff is O2 rather than EE and 5G works fine where it is available.

Yes but no VoLTE or WiFi calling (according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Kingdom_mobile_virtual_network_operators. I need both as well as coverage in Tyndrum!

Ok so just my second query then, hopefully they reply on Monday.

They even have no annual price rises as a feature, so seems almost too good to be true.

Yup, pretty sure there's no WiFi calling so forget GiffGaff if you need that.
Not stayed in Tyndrum for a year or so but my phone did work there on my last visit; maybe not with 4G/5G though.
(Bypassed Tyndrum last year, went via Inveraray between Glasgow and Oban  :cool: )

Yes, a better road with fewer tourists dealing with the Bonnie Banks. But you miss the Green Welly Stop. Best lorne sausage rolls in the morning and proper soup for lunch. https://www.thegreenwellystop.co.uk/restaurant

Maybe all becomes clear once you have an account set up. I'd expect either to be able to 'boost' or renew the 30 day deal early once all the data was used. My SIM is on its way. I'll let you know...

Thank you, I will wait for that.

The way round that is to set your phone to either warn you or cut you off if approaching the limit, then you know when to buy the boost.

Android can do both.  But its not immediately obvious, have to go into wifi and internet settings, then data usage, then mobile data usage, then tap billing cycle, then you should finally see the settings you can adjust the monthly limits, also the billing date can be adjusted there.

I sent EE a query about them sending me proof my terms of sale showed clearly I would be liable for inflation busting annual rises (to try and get them to let me leave penalty free 7 weeks early), then 20 mins later retentions called me and beat the 1p mobile pricing whilst also exempting me from 2023 rises (12 month deal so will be in driving seat again in 2024), so for a year now I will be staying on EE, but I had full intention of moving and wasnt expecting them to give such a big discount.  1p mobile I think is a cracking deal assuming the boosts can be ordered without a sim swap.
