Hi @ellisonmw

Yes, a giffgaff SIM card will be accepted in any phone that is unlocked or locked to the O2 network. Simply place the giffgaff SIM in the phone and continue using the services as normal.

@ellisonmw

no, a phone ocked to o2 can be used with giffgaff

giffgaff runs on the o2 network too.

@ellisonmw Hi welcome to giffgaff and the community

Yes your phone will be fine as giffgaff runs on 02

Just put your sim in and your good to go

I hope this helps

yes gg runs on the 02 network so it should work

Yes it will work as Giffgaff piggyback off o2. I've used an o2 phone myself without needing to unlock it.

A word of caution @ellisonmw , if it is a Tesco Mobile phone it will likely be double locked, to O2, the parent network and also toTesco's network.

In that case, a giffgaff SIM will only work if the Tesco lock has been removed.

Hi @ellisonmw

Yes, hopefully it should work. As, giffgaff SIM work only in unlock or O2 lock phones.

My transfer from another network is due on the 27th. How long will it take to port to gg

Yes just to confirm. my friend has a phone locked to O2. I just put in the GIFFGAFF sim and it worked. This must be because iff Gaff piggy backs the O2 network.
