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.
