For less data to use each month, we'd say this is one of giffgaff's best deals on SIM only this month too. It's a 18‑month plan, comes with 40GB data, unlimited minutes and texts for £15 a month:

While it's good enough to be in our pick of giffgaff's best SIM only deals, other providers do still have similar plans for less, even ones that also use the O2 network. Here's where you can beat it on other networks:

If you wouldn't get through that much data, have a look at giffgaff's 25GB SIM below at £10 a month, as it's another good deal. It's on a 18‑month plan and comes with 25GB data, unlimited minutes and texts:

It's definitely one of giffgaff's best. But it's not market-leading. You can get a similar plan on other providers for less, even if you need your SIM to use the O2 network. See lower-priced networks' deals here:

In our full review of giffgaff we said we like that they offer full access to O2’s 5G/4G/3G/2G network at much lower costs than joining O2 directly. They also have a nice free WiFi hotspot scheme on top of that.

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.

giffgaff still offer inclusive EU roaming on all plans at no extra cost. And you can get £5 free credit on your first £10 top up or bring a friend onto giffgaff to both get £5 free credit.

You’ll receive your SIM package within 2 working days. And you can even have it delivered in the EU within 3-5 days and beyond the EU around 5+ days after you order. giffgaff don’t offer eSIMs (these networks do).

If you’re not happy with your SIM you can return it to get a refund within 14 days. But you only get a refund on what you haven’t used, so you won’t get a full refund if you used some data (read more here).

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’ll have to request a PAC from your old provider to give to giffgaff. You can read their instructions on how this works here.
