Check out my Blog on why I chose Giffgaff here!!
Why Giffgaff?
- Giffgaff mobile uses the O2 network and is backed by O2 owners Telefonica.
- Every top up gives you FREE giffgaff-to-giffgaff calls* and texts for 3 MONTHS. This is currently the most generous pay-as-you-go package in the UK.
- Stretch your top up with a goodybag giving you the most generous allowances of any other network currently operating.
- Goodybags last a full month and start from £5.
- UNLIMITED texts and internet in goodybags are truly UNLIMITED.
- Calls are only 8p/min** to any network or landline in the UK and 4p/text** which is among the most competitive in the UK.
- 0800 and 0500 numbers are completely free. This means you can call a breakdown service from your car for free (assuming the breakdown number begins with 0800 or 0500)
- Promote giffgaff and help other members to earn payback rewards (paid in June and December).
- Transfer your current number to giffgaff, encourage your friends from other networks to join by giving them free sims and you can all keep in touch for FREE!! (subject to £10 topup every 3 months)
- Blackberry services due to come in next few months.
- * (You may need to hang up and redial after 59 minutes)
- **(10p/min and 6p/text from 06/10/11)
Goodybags Galore!
Stretch the value of your top up with a goodybag. All bags over £10 include unlimited texts and unlimited data. UNLIMITED is truly UNLIMITED
How do I get started?
- Click on the banner and you will be directed to order a FREE sim card.
- Simply insert the sim card into your unlocked phone or O2 locked phone and click here to activate it.
- You will receive your FREE £5 credit once you have made your first £10 top up.
- You can order a goodybag when you first topup, but I advise you to wait until your free credit is added and buy a £15 goodybag. You will get 400 minutes, unlimited data and unlimited texts.
- If you are a lower user, try the Hokey-Cokey. It is £5 and for every minute someone calls you from another network you earn an extra free minute. However, there is no data with this bundle.
- You will have your own giffgaff page created and your new number and balance will appear once the card has completed activation. You may need to reboot your phone one the sim is activated.
Keeping your number
Giffgaff on a Blackberry
Unfortunately there are no BIS or Blackberry services currently offered on Giffgaff. These are currently being implemented and should be offered shortly.
For those who value calls, texts and internet over BBM there is a comprehensive guide to setting up your Blackberry to work on the GG network.

Micro sims are available from me with £5 free credit in the same way as a full-sized sim. Please request a micro sim from me here.
