    Aye mate, the 250 minutes is for the 10 pound bundle. I'm sure you can do 15 and 20 pound bundles as well which increase the amount of minutes you have. All of the bundles include free giffgaff to giffgaff calls too.

    Cheers, I had a look myself and seen that. I think the £15 400 mins would suit me better.

    Am I right in saying it's month-month and you aren't tied in so you can change up or down anyway?

    I'll stick it on a 0% credit card and pay it up over 4-6 months, should work out cheaper than doing a contract. Also I'm not tied in.

    I would never buy a phone on launch day outright lol

    As for tethering on giff gaff there is a way round it, use your phone as a hotspot and it doesn't matter I used like 10 gig month tethering and have never been cut off lok

    Just a personal opinion I think paying 600 quid for a phone is obscene.

    It is, but so is paying 150-200 for the phone and then still having to pay 30-40 a month for the next couple of years. Apple have people by the balls because they know people want their product.

    I think I'm right in saying the S3 is basically priced at iPhone levels too.

    If you spread 500 or 600 £s over a few months its not the end of the world.

    Maybe my opinion will change when I get a go of the iPhone 5 :56:

    I love my iphone4 and honestly don't think I could go back to another phone, but once the iPhone 5 has been out for a few months there is always ways to get a cheaper deal.

    Yeah the early adopters always pay a wee bit more, but Apples pricing doesnt change a great deal, a 4S still costs basically what it did brand new.

    I don't actually use giffgaff yet but I'm planning on it once my contract ends in December.

    My advice regarding contracts: avoid and save up. Like any credit plan for something that only costs £100-£300 there is no real need to pay it off monthly, with interest.
    Get on GiffGaff! I fully intend to next month once my 24-month contract with 3 is up.
