I wish I could get out of my phone contract but I can't. Yes you can -- that's the message from budget phone network GiffGaff, which has recruited Keith Harris and Orville to free you from lengthy phone contracts -- and help some chickens at the same time.
There is absolutely nothing about this that makes any sense, but some days are like that. Click play on the video to see Keith and Orville busting rhymes and busting out of chicken chokey.
Fine feathered friend Orville promotes GiffGaff's 'Unlock a phone, Unlock a chicken' campaign. GiffGaff promises to rescue a battery hen for every user that signs up to the budget network.
We have no idea why this is happening. But it is, so let's just enjoy it.
GiffGaff is a network that offers insanely cheap calls without a contract, saving money by enlisting you and your fellow GiffGaffers to provide customer support via the forums, and recruiting new customers by word of mouth. When you sign up, you get phone credit or cash for helping others in the forums and for signing up new GiffGaffers.
GiffGaff suffered a few problems at the end of last year with new customers finding their SIM cards took ages to activate. GiffGaff assures us those problems are now resolved.
The discount network is part of O2 and uses its network, and is one of the few phone companies to offer proper unlimited data, with no fair-use policy.
And it helps chickens.
Have you had a good deal from GiffGaff? Should all phone networks do more to help farmyard animals? If this isn't the best thing you've seen all day, tell us in the comments or on our Facebook page.

They could have done with adding something about their deals at the end. I doubt someone who hasn't heard of Giffgaff will know what they're offering.

Giffgaff analogy is that being locked into a contract is like being caged up like a chicken, and that being without a contract gives you freedom to roam, hence their campaign to go contract-less, in exchange of which they'll free a chicken in real life.

This video has made my day. Thank you CNET, Keith and Orville.

GiffGaff is simply the best Pay As You Go mobile network within the United Kingdom.
It has the power to go beyond the likes of T-Mobile, Orange, o2, Vodafone and Three in the Pay As You Go market.
It needs to start advertising on Television instead of huge online campaigns - that most users may simply ignore.
This advert on TV would attract older customers due to Keith Harris' involvement,
GO GIFFGAFF!!! (Member Since September 2011)
