Also two things to note about giffgaff: - You can't surcharge goodybags on top of each other. (If you use up a goodybag before its expiry date, you aren't allowed to buy another one until the original expiry date. So always buy one that has more allowance than you need, except...) - The £10 goodybag comes with 1GB of mobile data which allows tethering, but the more expensive goodybags with unlimited data disallow tethering altogether (rather than limiting your speed).
