    @giffgaff Web based only ? How convenient. After lengthy email chain with David, received email from Aoife. Telling me that it can't help. WHAT? Are you actually care about customer requests?

    giffgaff: “We’re different from traditional mobile networks.” They weren’t joking. Most networks take your money and provide a service. giffgaff apparently takes your money and provides a lesson in reading the Fair Usage Policy. Truly innovative. 👏🇬🇧

    @EE I reckon that it's a combination of you both. Yesterday it would not work on EE iPhone but got to login on my Giffgaff iPhone but missed the 7:30pm deadline since it asked me to update app first with only minutes to go. Only once have I had the problem on GG, but 4 times with EE

    @thomasforth I think they are, in a way. This year I made the mistake of moving from O2 to Lebara, because it was cheaper. The signal is terrible, and despite it being on the Vodafone network, I get a “less bars” than colleagues who are on Vodafone. It seems to me the MVNOs, like Lebara and GiffGaff, are ways of selling less bandwidth for cheaper money.

    @ajzxne Outsourced still means they have to be paid for. We do not know what the arrangement O2 has with Giffgaff for renting network capacity but there are probably options which can be added and removed. Different virtual operators might choose different options.
