It's upgrade time, but to get the latest tech on O2 (HTC One / Galaxy S4 etc) I'm looking at £30+ per month and an outlay for the handset itself upfront on a 24 month contract.
I've just been looking at Giffgaff SIM deals...
£12 per month gets 250 mins, unlimited texts AND unlimited data!
Or £15 per month gets 400 mins, unlimited texts AND unlimited data.
There are cheaper deals than that but unlimited data for £12 is ridiculous!
No contract, it runs on the O2 network I'm already using and you can change your package month to month to suit if need be.
Add in the cost of a handset which is under £500 it's still cheaper over 24 months than a contract.
Too good to be true?

I haven't read the small print though.
EDIT: just saw Dodge's comment above. O2...
How do they know though? If you run a wifi hotspot on your mobile, how would the network know?
O2 works best for me, I've been with them for over a decade (with an 18 spell with vodafone a couple of years ago which was utter hell signal wise) so Giffgaff is ideal.
I read that you could tether with GG? Not that I have any need for that option so it doesn't bother me either way.
Not perfect I grant you, but the option IS there and at a crazy low price! Can't tether to iPhones though.
