Tell us. I am intrigued.

I just had a quick search to verify the username, it seems I'm not the only one to suspect this.

Well, the MSE forum team don't share your sentiments as it was you (posting as earthstorm) and not "this gang" that was previously removed from the forum yet here you are again posting in exactly the same way that had you banned before.

I'm amazed that after breaching forum rules by signing up with a new id you still post in exactly the same manner.

There is no point in denying that you and earthstorm are one and the same as anyone who compares previous posts will see that this is the case.

Who even mentioned Giffgaff in this thread relating to iPhone unlocking? Especially as Giffgaff sell unlocked iPhones...

I read today in your forum that unlocking an EE pay-as-you-go phone is FREE.
No it isn't. I just requested online at EE to unlock an Alcatel Pixi PAYG phone - they're charging me £8.98 which I have to credit on the phone beforehand.

Seems to contravene what EE themselves say.

You can unlock your device by filling in our online form or calling 150* from your mobile.

The cost of unlocking your device depends on whether you’re on pay as you go or pay monthly.

Pay as you go

If you’re on pay as you go, you can unlock your phone as soon as you get it, as long as it’s locked to EE, Orange or T-Mobile. Your pay as you go account must be registered with your details for us to unlock a pay as you go device.

Register or manage your account >

You must also ensure the device has not been reported as lost or stolen.

There are no charges for unlocking for pay as you go devices bought from EE and our indirect partners. We’ll need to check other devices to confirm where and when they were bought. Pay monthly devices used on pay as you go will be subject to pay monthly rules and checks.

Pay monthly

If you’re on pay monthly, you need to have had your contract for six months before you can unlock a device. If you’re within contract, the cost to unlock your device is £8.99. This charge will be applied to your account once the unlock code has been provided and will show on your next bill.

There are no charges to unlock your device once you’re out of contract with your device.

To be eligible for unlocking you must:

be the account holder for this device and phone number
have been an EE customer for at least six months
ensure your bill has been paid and your account is up to date
ensure the device has not been reported as lost or stolen

When and where did you buy the phone? If it's a new phone that was definitely bought on PAYG perhaps you should ring them up and complain? Point them to their own unlocking page...
