Brian,

Have you checked on this recently. Giff Gaff changed the T&Cs about a
year or so ago and they now do allow early repurchase of Goodybags if
you run out of minutes texts or data. You need to have a queued
goodybag and when you activate it you throw away any remaining data on
the existing one (so you don't do it too soon - but I think it can be
set up to occur automajically). I think there is a similar arrangement
for GigaBags.

I don't understand giff-gaff, even though they nicked my name, I use a
dongle on 3G with them, but seem to need more than 1gig a month, but there
seem to be no other options other than goody bags which has texts and calls
which the dongle does not do of course as its for a machine in a remote
location. Thenwhen you are getting quite low it won't let you pay them any
money to start it anew to be sure it has enough data. It also seems to
suggest they give you a generous buffer but that seems to be not the case as
it all falls back to 2g straight away so the upload I'm doing then says
time lift xx days etc. All I want to do is to be able to say, I need 200
meg for this week, if its about to run out, I'll pay for a new bundle now.
No way to do that. its ridiculaous, and when you try to use their talk to an
agent it sends you around in circles because the thing you need to talk
about is not on their list of things to talk about.
