I just switched to this deal last week, previous number ported over without no issues, everything was smooth but there is absolutely no signal whatsoever in my house, it constantly cycles through 'emergency calls only' and one bar of signal. Even when I'm out and about, I've had a maximum of three bars out of four and not for long. Going to give it a few more days to see if it picks up, if not I'm getting on the phone to them to cancel and get my money back as the signal strength is nowhere near what is listed on their coverage checker. Cheap deal, yes, but what's the point if you can barely get a signal to call someone, let alone 4g speed data!

I found that out after changing from Tesco but as the deals are getting better and cheaper as the weeks go by their will be something much better in 12 months. Im also finding that i no longer have a 4g signal in my house which i did have with Tesco/o2.
Thanks and sorry i didn't know it had already been posted

Worth leaving GiffGaff for this? I used to have solid signal with EE then went to GiffGaff but it isn't as strong. Value wise looks spot on.

I would assume so, it's Carphone Warehouses own network, ran by the three network

Thanks for this comment. I left the 3 network* upon which iD runs for that very reason. Full signal and happily chatting away then the line goes dead and no signal at all for 5 minutes.
I believe that 3 jumped onto other network masts when a 3 mast could not be found but as soon as it gets a sniff of a 3 signal it jumps mast even if the signal is very weak, leading to dropped calls.
If the signal is good in your area you won't have any problems but otherwise be aware of the problems. At least with this deal you could afford to get a SIM for a month and try it for a few days to see if it works then port your number.
*around 5 years ago. It seems the problem persists in some areas although when I asked for my PAC I had a devil of a job extracting it from 3 who insisted that their equipment showed no fault therefore my phone was to blame. I switched to Orange thereafter and the same phone worked without difficulty.

Its on the deals itself before you click on one and it also tells you in the basket.
