Google Nexus 4

Take a look at Giff Gaff. If you buy a Nexus from Google and get a SIM from GG you're good to go. However it's very likely that in the next month the new Nexus will launch, so might be worth holding on. That being said the Nexus 4 is now dirt cheap.

Nexus 4 + Giffgaff here and very happy.

... that being said the Nexus 4 is now dirt cheap.

But out of stock and unlikely to be replenished me thinks.

Virgin mobile VIP £15 pcm rolling contract unlimited calls, texts and internet cancel with 30 says notice, just means you'll have to buy the handset, but your not tied down which is awesome.

Thanks for replies

Not tempted by the imminent Nexus 5?

Not unless it's about the same price. I'm not bothered about being cutting edge.

Nexus 4 on ebay and elsewhere afaik. If I went with GG would I still keep my No?

That doesn't sound bad, how does it compare to GG price?

Yes

Take a look at GG website, from what I remember it's pay as you go - you select your top up or purchase a monthly? goodie bag for upwards of £20? with varying perks where as Virgin sim only is all set.

You need a PUK code from Orange, and you tell that to Giff Gaff/Virgin and they should transfer your number onto the sim card they send you. Changing numbers can be a bit tricky sometimes because if it doesn't go smoothly you wind up having 2 numbers for longer than you'd like, but it's generally worth the effort to avoid being one of those people who changes numbers ever couple of years.

I've recently switched over to Giffgaff from Vodaphone + Nexus 4 & it's a simple process, sign up on the site & request a sim card, phone your current provider & ask for your pac code, once the sim turns up chuck it in your phone & take it from there. You can either run it as payg or use goodybags which give you 30 days with stuff, + you can set it to automatically renew so it's more like a 30 day rolling contract - I went with £10 goodybag = 500mins, unlimited text 1gb net ( register before end of October as it goes back to 250 mins )

Edit - my sim order page pimpage - https://giffgaff.com/orders/affiliate/rizzy28

If you can wait until the nexus 5 comes it, it sounds like a few people in dMw will be upgrading their nexus 4s. Possibly safer than eBay ... with some exceptions! ;-)

I went with the nexus 4 blunt went with the 30 day rolling contract with 3 12.90 a month all the data I can eat, 200 mins and 3000 text. Not been happier. I like it cause I know I can change and not locked in to anyone.

Just so long as it doesn't snap conveniently into 4 bitesize chunks...

Ditto. My Nexus 10 also updated with no issues.
