Re: Stay with GiffGaff or save £8 to change to Virgin?

There was some mention of a SIM, but I said I was happy with GiffGaff, who I pay £8/month to, for 3GB data, unlimited calls/texts.
Now that the dust has settled, I've looked at my new contract with VM, which is for £83/month, and they've sent me a SIM card for Virgin Mobile that will be £7/month for 10GB, unlimited calls/texts, whether I use it or not.
Virgin Mobile get less good reviews for customer service than GiffGaff, but then, I've not had to use customer service with a mobile operator for years.
The obvious thing is to get my PAC code and change and save the £8.
Does anyone have any supporting or opposing experience or opinion?
Thanks in advance,
Derek
I don't think GiffGaff have any proper customer service, just a forum to air problems. However if it's good customer service with VM you're after you may want to look elsewhere. Others may disagree but when I had a phone with them it wasn't plain sailing.
