    Ordered a simcard and only seen the offer of £5 credit.

    Can you do a DD for the £10 goodybag as had a contract for 8 years and still happy with my phone. And its just 30 days rolling contract?

    what do you mean by DD?

    No, but you can queue one. So you could have an active one from today until 4th November, then one queued from 4th Nov to 3rd Dec or whatever :)

    Doing that, you only need to login once every 3 weeks or so to queue the next one.

    I buy o2 vouchers from ebay etc when they are going cheap, add them to my account and then all you need to do is literally a few clicks to buy the goodybag from your balance - don't even have to worry about topping up etc

    Saw this and thought it would be a great way of saving a bit more on my phone bills. Just had a look on ebay and there are alot of them for sale, almost all of them cost MORE to buy than they are worth! eg £10 topups are going for £12-£13!! Can someone enlighten me as to why they are there? Surely nobody ever buys them?

    I know, cheapest I found today was £9.50 so I got 1 of them for next month. Usually you can get a £20 one for £17/18. Not a massive saving, but I'm a student and it's better than nothing!

    Hi,

    I'm curious about getting a giffgaff card from a random giffgaff member: How does it work? Do giffgaff send it on their behalf, or does the user actually send the SIM to you?
    Will you automatically know which user sent you the SIM? (via the
    Will they know which user you are?

    If this info. is 'out there', I'd appreciate a link since I can't seem to find the answers to my questions.

    Thanks.

    Their £5 Giff Gaff Labs goodybag was perfect when they still offered unlimited data.

    You can order a sim yourself here:
    https://giffgaff.com/orders/free-sim

    If you ask someone to order a sim, they will do so through the website and their account.

    When the person orders a sim, the sim will have a code allocated to it. Giffgaff then send the sim direct to you and will email you when it is ordered and when it is depatched.

    On receipt of the sim and once you register it using the code (printed inside the giffgaff envelope) and an account set up on giffgaff, the system will know who has referred you.
