![]() Giffgaff is an MVNO on O2 in the United Kingdom and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Telefonica, as is O2 itself. If you order a free SIM card from this link, you and I will both receive £5 free credit. You can even request delivery to your temporary accommodation; UK postal addresses are flexible and don't require the recipient's name to be displayed on the letterbox.
If you don't have a UK address, then please PM me and I will use some of my £5 free credit to cover the international postage to send a SIM card to you. You will still receive your £5 free credit as well. You will need to top up your account with £10 in order to activate the SIM card. This can be done by credit card online or with a voucher from an O2 UK shop. |

![]() Cool.
Can you do the initial card activation from overseas, or how does it work? |

![]() Giffgaff SIMs seem to activate fine overseas, at least in Canada. I picked up a couple of SIMs for our iPads for a trip a couple of weeks ago - activated them while in Canada, topped them up using a Canadian credit card (you do have to give a fake UK address to do this, though) and off I went. They showed as active here, and worked fine when I hit Heathrow.
Hardware: Too much but notably iPhone 5, iPad Mini Retina LTE, Moto G LTE (N.A. version), iPhone 4. All unlocked. |
