I wonder if that extends to this on giffgaff
With family in mainland St Vincent & Montego Bay this has been a double whammy, but mercifully fatalities are low.
While GiffGaff is owned by Telefónica, GiffGaff and O2 are different companies. This shouldn’t apply to GiffGaff for the same reason it doesn’t apply to Tesco Mobile.
GiffGaff might decide to do the same thing, but the announcement needs to come from them.
