Could someone recommend a tariff ? I rarely make calls, less than 5 mins a month, I send about 300-400 texts a month and use about 300 Mb data (mostly sat nav) .
I've used half my initial £10 top up already (1 week), so need to choose a tariff.

Yes, you'd need a GiffGaff sim and would have to port your number, but if you look on the GiffGaff website it's a fairly easy process. GiffGaff runs on the O2 network, so your coverage would remain the same as you have now.

If I choose a £10 a month tariff does that mean I pay that every month? That's not what I want. I want to top up every two or three months, get something free for the first month, then use the amount I topped up with for the next month or two. Does this make sense? I used to do that. I would top up £10 and get 500 texts which lasted a month, then the cost of texts for the next month or two would come out of the £10.

For the usage you need it sounds as if a GiffGaff tariff might be better.

I had so much hassle trying to keep old number, use old sim in new phone etc etc that would only be a last resort.

These allowances last a month and then a top up is needed before the anniversary date.
Take a look at the tariffs link provided to see what suites your usage needs.

The O2 Unlimited tariff will give you that option if you wish. Whatever you top up will give you an allowance for 30 days, but you keep the top up, so after the 30 days you use the amount you topped up until it runs out.

I'm starting to feel a little foolish. I really don't understand these tariffs.
o2 Unlimited seems to offer texts to other o2 users.

With Pay as you Go Go Go 10 the £10 top up is taken from your available credit to pay for those allowances.
For example.
If you topped up £10 today the Pay as you Go Go Go tariff would start, the £10 would be deducted from your credit, and you would have an anniversary date of the 24/12/13. You would need to top up by then to get a new months allowances and your next anniversary date would be the 24/01/14 and so on.
If you missed the anniversary date top up the allowances would not refresh and you would revert to paying the standard tariff charges until you topped up again. Then the pay as you go go go tariff would start again and give you a new anniversary date.
