I have it on my 5s but have never needed to use it. It gives great peace of mind though.
Got a tip for us?

No it wont, you will still get your phone on the 19th, cancelling one item in the order doesnt delay any other items, you will be fine for your 19th delivery date.

Yeah fingers crossed it will be fine!
Anyway, how do people find GiffGaff? Seen a £12 SIM-Only deal, and just wondered how you lovely lot rate them?
Thank you!
I've found GiffGaff's data speeds to be atrocious recently. Most of last week I struggled to get more than 1Mbps in a major city. My mates were getting over ten times this on EE/3.
I've just switched to EE. Used to really like GG as well.
I'm going to get it. Purely due to betting the screen will be a fortune to change!! Plus it's piece of mind.
Hey guys, I ordered an iPhone 6 64GB, first time I've bough outright..in the madness of Friday morning I selected to deliver to where I live..however I realised that I then had classes etc. I can't cancel my order or anything..do you know what company delivers the iPhone? Will they give it to next door?
Giff Gaff
Hi,
I've been with them for years and they've been pretty good to be fair. It's even better if you have family and friends with giff gaff because Giff Gaff to Giff Gaff calls are free
I don't use much data just sat nav use in the car etc and a bit of browsing so I use the £7.50 tariff, couple that with an unlocked phone and your on a winner. They use the O2 network so coverage will be similar I guess.
Good luck!
Evening!
Hope everyone is well! Unfortunately I didn't get around to buying one or managing to reserve one (Plymouth store seemed to have next to no Plus 64gb!

Usually UPS but sometimes they leave it with a neighbour or return it to depot where you can pick it up the next day or so.
The cost of the screen to change is my main concern and the main reason I'm considering it.

My too. I'm switching away from them with my new iPhone. 90% of the time I can't even watch a youtube vid these days. It was fine a few months back.
I tried Giffgaff last week it was bad speedtest was so slow it didn't even finished the test.
I think giffgaff took on to many customers without upgrading their network.
Stick to Three or EE for your iPhone experience.
GiffGaff use the O2 network, so it will be O2 in your area thats the problem. I'm with GG and have no issues with them.
I'm in O2 and attain 50mbps on 4G
I've tried GiffGaff and suffered with lag - I hear they are stopping some 3G unlimited goody bags due to illegal tethering etc.
Maybe so but I don't really mind as I generally get 14-19MBPS over 3G from Three. Unlimited data inc. tethering, 1200mins, 2000 3 to 3 mins and 5000 texts for £15 will keep me with them for the foreseeable future.
Yeah, I'll probably get it again too. I have my 5s up for sale on eBay so hopefully it's a selling point as you can transfer it to another user.
It is possible due I think 6 plus stock is quite low in general hence why it is so quickly snapped up.
Preordered the iPhone 6 plus from phones4u in town last Friday hoping it comes on or before the 19th (iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 plus launch day) got a good deal on Vodafone paid £189 up front and paying £48.50 a month for unlimited calls, texts and 7gb of 4g data. Really can't wait for it to come very excited
That's assuming Apple even offer broken screen repairs on the i6.
It was only earlier this year they started offering screen replacements in store for the i5 wasn't it?
£79 for AC+ with 2 x £55 on top for 2 x replacement iPhone 6 + makes total sense to me.
I don't think it's worth the risk of not taking it out, smashing the screen (or worse) and discovering that a whole replacement unit for £400 or something is your only option.
It doesn't work like that. They do use the same network but giffgaff can crawl when O2 is flying. I've found to my cost that giffgaff isn't simply a cheaper O2.
