Hi yes first check the sim card you have all ready the nana sim card may pop out the middle if not

to do a sim swop and get your old giffgaff number on a new sim card you will need to do it on a new unactivated giffgaff sim card you can order a new sims here https://giffgaff.com/orders/mgm

Or some shops / supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsburys, Poundland) now stock giffgaff sims, so check around your Town/City for a faster way to get a sim card
New giffgaff Sims are all sizes now and are 3-in-1 sims, standard, micro and nano sim size, the smaller sims pop out the middle

giffgaff sims are posted out 1st Class, so should arrive within 3-5 working days by post, When it arrives or you get a new sim / you are ready to change, do a SIM swap to keep your old sims number, The SIM Swap can be performed any time between 4.30am and 9.30pm

You will then keep your current number, credits and/or goodybag. The swap should take no more than 30 minutes but can take up to 24 hours

Have a look at your existing giffgaff SIM card.

If it has a smaller nano-SIM pop-out, then carefully push out the nano-SIM and simply put it into your new phone.

If your SIM does not have this, then get a new giffgaff SIM card. Either:

Order a free SIM here
Or if you can’t wait, buy a cheap SIM from a local store

All new SIM cards are 3-in-1 triple SIMs, so will be the correct size for your phone.

When you have the new SIM:

Do NOT create a new account. Make sure you are logged into your EXISTING giffgaff account (the account associated with the number you wish to retain).
If you can't remember your existing account details, click here
Enter your mobile number in the field, and choose to send your password reset link by email.
Once you are logged into the correct giffgaff account, follow the 'SIM swap' instructions

Your existing goodybag, credit, and original number will all get transferred to this new SIM.

bodley1945 You need to perform a simple proccess called a sim swap
This will retain all your account details. Only the sim will change

Order a sim from your spread page
Http://j.mp/order_sim

When the sim arrives
Back up your contacts if they're saved to the sim

Click here and log in
Http://j.mp/swapsim

Put the 6 digit code in from your new sim And click continue

On the next page it'll show the 6 didgit activation codes and sim serial numbers of your current and new sim cards

Click where it says...

"Yes I want to replace my SIM" ( on mobile browsers don't forget to scroll down to see)

On the next page click "yes I'm sure"

Your new sim will hopefully be active within 30 minutes And your old sim will be disabled ( if the new sim dosnt appear active after 30 minutes try turning the phone off and on
