Are 02 calls to GiffGaff free ?

Hi all

If I top-up by £15, I get free unlimited texts and calls to other 02 numbers.

Since the GiffGaff is part of 02 (I presume), will the calls and texts from an 02 number to a GiffGaff one be free as well ?

Thanks in advance.

    no - only O2 to O2 // giffgaff to giffgaff are free also (once you've topped up etc.) They're not interchangeable between the 2 companies though - these calls would be charged as normal x-network calls.

    Giffgaff is NOT part of O2, they only use their network

    They both do have the same parent company though - hence (I would imagine) the OP's post.
    They are both owned by Telefonica.

    Giffgaff ARE owned by o2, they don't just use their network.

    Quotes made my Giffgaff in various places on their own website
    giffgaff is something new. It's a mobile business owned by O2 but run like a start-up in a beautiful converted building
    As a subsidiary of O2 there is also the prospect of career progression internationally within O2 or its parent Telefonica.
    we are a fully independent company but we are part of the overall Telefonica O2 family
