About Giffgaff
Giffgaff is a member-driven MVNO running on the O2 network. It is famous for flexible goodybags, no long contracts, and a community-led support style that appeals to students and switchers who hate lock-in.
Because it uses O2 coverage, you should check an O2/Giffgaff coverage map for your postcode. Plans are usually bought as rolling goodybags rather than multi-year handset finance packages.
Frome Fonez links to Giffgaff’s phone and plan pages plus coverage information so you can compare it with Tesco Mobile and other O2-based options.
Network coverage: O2
