How giffgaff’s SIM only prices and benefits compare
As we show in our full review of giffgaff, we like that you get full access to O2’s network, including 5G, for a much lower price than being on O2 directly. You also get a decent free WiFi hotspot scheme.
giffgaff market their SIM only deals (their “goodybags”) as monthly bundles of minutes, texts and data with no contracts. Compare their plans here to find the best possible deal.
Their best value plans are their mid-range data deals. For these they work out as one of the cheapest providers on the O2 network (alongside Sky Mobile and Tesco Mobile).
giffgaff are pretty much a no-frills network. They do offer £5 free credit on your first £10 top up and if you get a friend to join giffgaff both you and your friend will get £5 free credit. They also offer inclusive EU roaming as standard.

Useful information about giffgaff’s SIM only deals
Your giffgaff SIM will be delivered within 2 working days, and you can get it delivered to the EU within 3-5 working days or even to anywhere else in the world around 5+ days after ordering. They don’t offer eSIMs (see the networks that do).
It’s your right as a customer to get your SIM refunded within the first 14 days of receiving it. But you’ll only get back what you haven’t used, so if you used up a little bit of data you won’t get a full refund. Here’s how you do it.
Since you’re paying for your minutes, texts and data up front then you won’t have to pass a credit check for their SIM only plans. You’ll just have to give them some details so they know who you are.
If you want to switch to giffgaff from another network while keeping your old number you can do so by requesting a PAC from your old provider to give to giffgaff. You can read their instructions on how this works here.
