giffgaff doubles data for its customers - without adding a single penny to bills

While upping your data allowance by an extra 20GB would usually cost you a small fortune, giffgaff have decided to hand out theirs for free.

From today, all giffgaff customers with either the £20 or £25 giffgaff goodybag will get twice as much data as they did before.

For those on the £20 giffgaff goodybag plan, the double data deal takes them from their usual 20GB to a huge 40GB.

Meanwhile anyone on the £25 Always On tariff would previously have received unlimited minutes and texts plus 20GB of data usage per month at full 4G speed, but now the data speed will be reduced after 40GB, rather than 20GB.

The offer is available to both new and existing customers and as well as the extra data, you'll also get unlimited calls and texts, plus free calls to all giffgaff numbers and Roam Like at Home capabilities.

giffgaff's generous deal follows new ' text to switch ' rules from Ofcom that makes switching phone networks easier for UK consumers, meaning that mobile network providers have to work harder to keep you.

If you're confused as to what a goodybag is, it's the name giffgaff gives to its monthly SIM-only plans , which range in price from £6 to £25.

Head of Propositions, David Caton says: “We’re always looking to give members the best value for their money. We’re happy to bring these goodybag updates to some of our most popular goodybags.

We hope it means that our existing members are satisfied and that it gives potential new members another reason to choose giffgaff.”
