Change Your Plan Anytime

Although you’re signing up for an 18-month contract, you’ll still have the flexibility to change your plan from month to month.

For instance, if things change and you want to spend less next month, you can swap to another plan within giffgaff’s 18-month range. This is possible without resetting the term of your commitment or incurring early termination fees.

Similarly, you can swap to another 18-month plan that gives you more data included. You can also refresh your next plan early, if you run out of data.

No Credit Check

Unlike on many other SIM-only contracts, there’s no need to undergo a credit check when you sign up to a contract from giffgaff. That means there’s a lot less hassle: there’s no need to provide lots of obscure information such as your address history and bank account details before you sign up. In addition, the plans are open to everyone, so there’s no need to have a lengthy UK credit history to sign up.

To get this deal, you can simply order your free SIM card online. When it arrives, you’ll be able to activate it and pay for your plan using a credit card or debit card.

4G & 5G Coverage From O2

giffgaff is powered by the O2 network – you’ll get both 4G coverage and 5G coverage included as standard.

Before you sign up as a new 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:

5G T&Cs: You need 5G coverage, a 5G device and SIM, and 5G switched on in your giffgaff account. Find out more about 5G coverage see https://www.giffgaff.com/help/articles/does-my-area-have-5g-coverage. Terms apply, see giffgaff.com/terms.

Inclusive EU Roaming

You’ll be able to use your plan allowance at no extra cost (up to 5GB per month) when you travel in the EU and selected destinations. This includes popular tourist destinations such as Spain, Italy, France, Portugal and more.

The inclusive European roaming is limited to 5GB data per month. For most users, this should be more than enough. According to Ofcom, the average UK mobile user consumes about 8.1GB data per month. This is equivalent to about 1.9GB of data per week.

EU Roaming T&Cs: For all plans with over 5GB UK data, data roaming in EU and selected destinations is capped at 5GB. You’ll be charged 10p/MB once 5GB is used.

Fairer Exit Fees

You can change between giffgaff’s 18-month plans at any time, without resetting the term of your commitment or incurring early termination fees.

If you’re leaving giffgaff altogether, the early termination fee is just 50% of your current plan cost, multiplied by the number of months you have remaining on your contract.
