Giffgaff now sells 20 phones on credit
So as well as paying Giffgaff £15 or whatever a month for service, you also pay £50 - £200 up front, then set up monthly repayments for the handset + the APR of 9.70%.
I can't help thinking why you wouldn't just take out a contract and get customer support and the full package from somebody else! To me this seems like a step backwards, in the 1990's Vodafone used to sell you the airtime separately. http://www.mobiletoday.co.uk/News/27...set_range.aspx |

You have to take into account though that you are most likely to get better customer service with three etc.... |

If it gets to the point you have the finances to buy a phone on credit, then one should go with a proper provider with full support. |
