I have recently had an old phone unlocked so I can set it up on giffgaff for a friend, I have put in a giffgaff sim but the phone shows no number,

davesamp if the sim is not activated then no number will show on the account and no service on the phone. To check the phone is ok you could use your sim to check it’s unlocked and works fine.

Yes, a number will be allocated to the account once the SIM has been fully activated, including a topup of at least £10 or a goodybag purchase as part of activation.

Also just double check that the phone in question is indeed network unlocked to avoid any problems.

Good Afternoon @davesamp

You need to activate your new sim with a minimum of £10 airtime credit or a goodybag, you will then be allocated a randomly selected number, you can find out this number by NUMBER to 2020.
