I need to get 4 PAYG sim cards.

These are my requirements / drivers:
1 - "3" of "GiffGaff" - are these are the only PAYG sim cards allowed on Hullomail as far as I understand.
2 - Does not require frequent top-up to stay active.

Any offer/links/recommendation?

    I don't know, but it would be odd if it worked only on '3' and 'giffgaff'.
    However, '3' and giffgaff indeed are the most popular PAYG options for mobile data with high usage. I don't know if Hullomail uses a lot of data.

    No PAYG sims require top-ups for staying active.

    It's not a question of what's allowed on Hullomail, but whether the SIM supports call diversion (to anything other than voicemail), which is not that common on pay as you go.

    Family Mobile also does, but I'm not aware of other conventional UK providers, though some global roaming SIMs also do so.

    Bear in mind that you'll be charged for diverted calls, which sometimes takes people by surprise when their credit seems to be reducing without making their own outgoing calls.

    Thanks.

    So no operator does call diversion for free on PAYG?

    I don't think anyone is going to offer that, seeing as the diverted call costs money.

    Orange used to offer Everyphone on contracts, which had free diversion to Orange or landlines, but it's been disused for years on everything except some business contracts.

    Any other network will charge, either by using bundle minutes or the tariff applicable for non-inclusive calls.

    If you want to leave incoming calls diverting to Hullomail, this will use credit. From time to time there are threads here and elsewhere asking about mysterious charges for calls the person had not made, and it usually turns out to be third party voicemail
