OK cheers, a few days to wait before I can play with my Nexus 4 then, unless I take the knife to my existing sim.  :(

EE & Three don't have great coverage here, so I ordered sims for O2 & Vodafone to try.

Even though I have no 3G where I live im happy with O2, GiffGaff seem to be a bit messy, they piggy back on O2 anyway and O2 get you a sim very quickly, or just go into a shop, I much prefer that.

Can't say I'd ever heard of them, but on the face of it, if you have your own phone, they seem like good deals.

be warned though there is no phone customer service whatsoever so if you are out and about and your phone stops working (which happened to me when I was with them) even though I was in credit you have to log a fault via Ask an Agent on the site and that can be a while.
