** SPECIAL THANKS TO MATT BRYSON AND JAMES ROBBINS. **
This app is free! THIS APP CONTAINS NO ADS.
PERMISSIONS:
-INTERNET : Needed to retrieve account information as well as linking to the community and accessing twitter feeds. https used where necessary.
-CALL_PHONE : APP needs permission to make phone calls as it needs to dial USSD codes to turn voicemail on or off etc. THIS IS ALL IT IS USED FOR.
-WRITE_APN_SETTINGS : App has now got the function to add the giffgaff APN! Coded with the help of Matt Bryson (developer of the great app giffgaff by Skinkers).

**Please note that any error you receive while topping up, trying to connect to my account or the community is a problem with the giffgaff servers and has nothing to do with the functions of the app. The app can only work well if the giffgaff servers are also working well. If giffgaff's servers are down, the my account, top-up and community section of the app will NOT work.**

This app has helped make topping up so much easier! I can only buy vouchers and had to wait to get good before I could buy goodybag but with this app I look for anywhere there is FREE wifi and then open the app and then buy my goodybag straight away! S.I.
