This involves having credit or debit card details saved on your giffgaff account, with your plan automatically renewing each month (unless you choose to cancel the renewal).

giffgaff Features & Benefits
No Contract & No Credit Check
You can sign up to use giffgaff’s goodybag plans without the need for a contract or credit check. This is because the service works on a pre-paid basis: you only need to pay for one month’s usage at time.
If you’re using the recurring goodybag functionality, this will still allow you to change or cancel the automatic renewal whenever you like.
Because it’s a pre-paid product with no need for a credit check, it isn’t possible to run up unexpected charges outside of your allowance. This makes it perfect if you’re giving a SIM card to your kids. You can also use it if you aren’t able to pass a UK credit check (e.g. if you’re under 18 or if you’ve recently moved to the UK).
1GB Extra Data
As a bonus, you’ll get an extra 1GB of data added to your goodybag each month from your third goodybag purchase onwards. This means:
- You’ll get 21GB of data per month on the £10 golden goodybag (increased from 20GB per month).
- You’ll get 16GB of data per month on the regular £10 goodybag (increased from 15GB per month).
The extra data will be added automatically – there’s no need for you to opt-in to get it.
O2 Coverage
On giffgaff, you’ll have access to 99% population coverage. This is provided by O2’s 2G, 3G and 4G networks.
In addition, if you have a 5G-ready phone, you’ll get access to giffgaff’s 5G network at no extra cost. This gives you download speeds that are five to ten times faster than 4G. There’s also more network capacity and lower amounts of latency.
Before signing up as a giffgaff member, it’s worth checking to make sure you can get coverage where you live. You can do this by entering your postcode on giffgaff’s online coverage map:

Keeping Your Phone Number
If you’re switching from another mobile network to take advantage of the new goodybags, it’s easy bringing your current phone number with you.
Start by ordering your SIM card from the giffgaff website. Once you’ve done that, you can ask your current mobile network to give you a PAC Code. You can get one through your mobile network’s website or app, or by texting PAC to 65075.
Once you’ve received and activated your new giffgaff SIM card, you’ll be given the option to submit your PAC code on giffgaff’s website. Once you’ve done this, your phone number will normally be transferred on the next working day.
For a step-by-step guide on transferring your phone number to giffgaff, please select your current mobile network from the drop-down menu below:
