    Thanks for the thread. I am now ditching GiffGaff. A £10 giffgaff credit lasts me 3-4 months, so changing that to free = a £3/month saving.

    Just received my SIM and tried to set it up.
    Clicking the email led to a blank email page, I put on there everything that was on the SIM card, ie all the numbers and my name .
    Is that OK.
    Do you get a reply email saying all is done?
    Thanks
  • The e mail they send you,u click on the red activate here box,whichever bundle u want,then u get a email saying its activated. I did not av 2 put the number in email,as email was associated with the number anyway

    Got my RWG sim today. How long after emailing them from the link in the email until the Free bundle gets activated? I would have thought you could just do it on the phone but not possible.
    1h24mins (on a Wednesday). Confirmed w/ a reply email.

    When I clicked on the red box for the free bundle it took me to a blank outgoing email page to support at RWG. No more instructions.
    Now 45 mins since I sent the email, not yet connected.
    Edit Ah I see it took Gavinbaxter 1hr 24 mins

    Yes you need a cut from their free revenue!
    One further question, I see you cannot set up an account, can you tell how many free units you are using during the month.
