Hi I am trying to activate a sim card. It has been well over an hour and nothing not even the number has come up. I wonder if anyone has any suggestions?
Thank you N 🙂
Did you register and top up your sim as follows?
1. Log in to your account
2. Click on this link when you've read the following:
http://giffgaff.com/activate-sim3. Enter your 6 digit Activation Code in CAPITALS. Ensure all letters and numbers are correctly entered as it is case sensitive (you'll find the Activation Code on the card that the sim was attached to). If the code fails, then you can register using the the serial number on the back of your simcard.
4. Redeem your top-up voucher number (a minimum of £10.00, unless you ordered your sim directly from the website and not by referral, in which case you can top up by £5.00, or buy a £5.00 goodybag), or fill in your bank details exactly as they appear on the card (including MR or MRS etc) You can use a giffgaff, or an O2 voucher using the redeem your voucher box on the right of the page.
(If you get a message saying "Voucher already used" then just try a little later as the system hasn't yet updated since you purchased your voucher).
You now have successfully registered your new giffgaff SIM card.
If you don't intend buying a goodybag right now, then to double check that your registration is going ahead smoothly, go to My giffgaff, look in My Payment History to see if your payment was accepted. I yes, then switch your phone on and wait for your sim to become live.
It can take from within 2 hrs., up to 24 hrs. for the sim to become active.
When the sim is fully active, you will find your number, and your balance in My giffgaff.
If you register after 10.00pm, the activation process will not commence until the following day.
Note: Don't discard your 6 digit code until you have received you phone number as you may need it again if activation was unsuccessful.
